SEMCD Suction Dentures
Hayven Dentures is proud to be the first denture clinic in St. Catharines, Niagara Region, Ontario, Canada to provide SEMCD Suction Dentures. SEMCD is an acronym that stands for Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Denture which in layman terms mean suction for lower dentures. This technique is used to help prevent loose dentures and the constant need for denture adhesive. The prognosis of this treatment however is largely dependent on pairing with a matching and functional upper denture!
Benefits of Suction Dentures
A thorough consultation and examination is required. This helps determine if you are a candidate for SEMCD Suction Dentures. The good news is, approximately 80% of lower denture wearers are candidates! This means 80% of lower denture wearers could reduce the need for denture adhesives. Click here to find out how denture adhesives can be bad for you. They could also eliminate the stress and cost in pursuing dental implants while having a more comfortable and stable lower denture to eat, chew and smile better with.
Who Provides Suction Dentures?
Always look for the SEMCD Suction Denture certification from your denturist or dental professional because this will determine if they have been professionally trained to achieve suction with their dentures. Many sore spots and problems come from improper training and poorly made dentures. The clinician needs to strive in minimize problems that may arise when making SEMCD Suction Dentures.

Great Alternative to or Addition with Implant Dentures
SEMCD Suction Dentures is a great choice for anyone who needs lower complete dentures in Ontario. They are the new replacements for anyone who has loose (conventional) complete dentures. You will find a lot less denture adhesives is required, if not none, to keep the dentures from feeling loose. SEMCD Suction Dentures is also an alternative, to the need for dental implants but can also work extremely well with dental implants.
Indications for SEMCD Suction Dentures
Since SEMCD Suction Dentures is a form of complete dentures (especially for the lower), there must not be any natural teeth present. The possibility of having all your natural teeth extracted depends on the diagnosis provided by your dental professional such as a dentist. If you still have some teeth remaining, you should read up on immediate dentures for some more information.
If you experience loose fitting dentures, a constant need for denture adhesive, or planning to get new dentures that are not loose or require fixing, then SEMCD Suction Dentures is right for you.
Suction Dentures VS Conventional Dentures
So how is SEMCD Suction Dentures different from (conventional) complete dentures?
Naturalism…
One word to best describe the difference is naturalism. Prior to SEMCD Suction Dentures, complete dentures are made through the manipulation of the cheeks and lips by the clinician to obtain the impression. The shape of the denture base and its borders are dependent on the clinician. As a result, the denture base is flat and smooth. Because of the artificial capture, the denture sits and compresses the tissues in the mouth which could later cause many reoccurring sore spots.
Patient Guided…
With SEMCD Suction Dentures, the impression is taken with patient’s help. The patient goes through a series of motions and movements to define the borders and shape of the denture base. This type of denture base represents the inside of your mouth more realistically. It is a truer representation of your gums and jaws. The denture base does not compress and distort the tissues in the mouth abnormally reducing the number of sore spots developing.
Suction dentures tend to be shorter, more gnarly looking but a lot less bulky in most areas. Suction dentures also tend to be thicker near the tongue area and have wings at the back. These all help with the suction of the dentures.
Longer Lasting
Dentures generally last for about 5 years. This relates to the “best before date” of most standard acrylic (denture base). Higher quality materials are used when making SEMCD Suction Dentures. As a result, the lifepsan of the dentures are prolonged and the procedures are more comfortable for the patient. Higher quality dentures can last for 7-10 (or more) years. This is especially true if proper care and maintenance are kept.
How Much do SEMCD Suction Dentures Cost?
When SEMCD Suction Dentures are made, top quality materials are used throughout the process. Higher quality materials reduce the number of errors that could arise. Great detail and effort is required to record a precise impression as well as capturing the correct bite. The procedures are therefore lengthier.
Prices Differ from Province to Province…
In Ontario Suction Dentures cost can start from $3,700 (upper and lower). If these dentures last for 7-10 or more years it is an average of $435 per year. This also helps you save money on denture glue and possibly even dental implants. Money is also saved on the reduced number of adjustment appointments required.
Origin of Suction Dentures
SEMCD Suction Dentures was first developed by Dr. Jiro Abe, a dentist from Japan. He spent countless hours on perfecting his impression taking technique whilst studying the results of the denture on the patient’s oral and overall health. Many elite and caring worldwide dental professionals are learning SEMCD Suction Denture technique because it is the next big alternative treatment to implant dentures.
Realistic and Natural Smile
Wearing conventional complete dentures can help you look younger because they provide a fuller facial appearance. They also provide a realistically natural smile, and boost your confidence while being around others. Most importantly, they help align your jaw to its correct position avoiding the development of inflammation and pain in the temporal mandibular joint (TMJ) while allowing you to eat, swallow, and digest food better. At the end of the day… what you’re able to eat will determine if you are able to get enough nutrients and how healthy you will be.
The sooner you get treatment the better it is in minimizing many potential problems from occurring. You can stop asking yourself, “why are my dentures so loose”, and stop buying denture adhesives or creams.

My son, Sean, needed dentures to replace teeth lost due to sports. Hayven was very welcoming, progressive in their approach /technique, and extremely professional. They worked as quickly as possible to get him suited up in time for summer. While Covid created some delay, once they were able to be active again, they expedited the work to do everything possible to deliver on their promised timeline. I highly recommend them as the best place to go hands-down.

I would not hesitate to recommend Hayven Dentures to anyone! Hayes is a very compassionate and caring professional who goes over and above to make the process painless and comfortable. I had to get a cracked upper plate replaced and I could not be happier with entire experience. I really love my new smile!

Great place to get dentures serviced. My grandpa was having problems eating salad and biting his cheeks all the time after getting new dentures made in downtown St. Catharines. We couldn't deal with seeing him in agony so we took him to see Hayes and Vivan at Hayven Dentures. He is now eating everything he likes again. Thank you!

I had a great experience with Hayven Dentures. From my first appointment to my last fitting, they take the time to really listen and make sure you are satisfied and comfortable. I had 2 upper teeth missing due to medication I was taking. It affected my smile and my confidence. Since receiving my partial, I am much more confident and am not afraid to smile as wide as I want to! Thank you to all the staff at Hayven Dentures for the amazing service!!

Having to deal with 30 plus year old denture and general neglect of my teeth. When the time came to remedy the situation I must say that my choice to have the work done by Hayden dental was a good one. Not only did they do a excellent job throughout the whole process but they staff and Hayes made it a lot of fun also. the job was done so well that I was able to munch a cob of corn with absolutely NO problem despite their recommendation that I give myself time to get used to my new teeth. I can say that I have no hesitation recommending Hayden Dental for anyone needing new dentures or denture support. Thanks muchly to Hayes and all for making me smile again.

After breaking two teeth, one being the tooth my upper partial attached to, I was devastated as I was no longer able to wear my plate, nor eat or even smile.I went to Hayven Clinic on an emergency appt the very next day and was immediately welcomed by Cherie, who took a very thorough history, then next Hayes and Judy. I was absolutely thrilled at the professional, kind and gentle approach provided by by all.My plate is repaired better then when it was originally made! It fits very comfortably and looks awesome.I have been to other denture clinics but will never go anywhere else now. I am having my full dentures done here by Hayes and Judy and I know they will be excellent.This clinic's team. Hayes, Judy and Cherie are outstanding - when you are doing something as important as having dentures made, have it done right by the right team the first time!

I found Hayven Dentures when I googled denturist’s in Niagara, when I called, & the receptionist Christine answered she was very helpful in answering my qustion’s. From my first initial visit for a consultation I knew I had made the right choice going to Hayven Denture Clinic. Hayes is a wonderful caring professional, Christine his receptionist /assistant is a gem. If you need denture’s or looking to have your current denture’s replaced as I did, you will have made the right choice by calling Hayven dentures.

I originally got my dentures from Hayes early this year but recently came back because my dog got a hold of my denture and cracked it in two. After fixing it, it felt exactly like it did when he first made them. It's been almost a year and they still look and feel brand new. My last set was from another denturist and it was cheaper and by the first year I could already see some wear and tear. Hayes is very professional and the quality of his dentures are worth it!

I had to write this review as it was a very long time since I've had my mouth taken care of as great as this place. I had dentures made from many other denture clinics and dental offices. I have gone through many different treatment options. Needless to say, I went through many adjustments, pain and to no avail I could not eat. I was very doubtful Hayes would be able to help me but I tried his suction dentures. I am now able to eat again after all these years. I highly recommend Hayven Dentures from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you Hayven Dentures!!!Hayes replaced my I’ll-fitting dentures with suction dentures that stay in place. What a difference!I am now able to eat foods that I avoided before like steak, apples and corn on the cob.Because of my experience at Hayven Dentures, I now know that when considering new dentures, it is so important to choose a clinician that will provide the right fit and bite of your new dentures.I highly recommend going to see Hayes who is a very professional, caring and knowledgeable denturist!

We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Dr.Hayes Leung at Hayven Dentures at 289 Glendale Ave. for his excellent work and dedication to his patients. My husband was suffering with ill fitting dentures made by another Denturist that were causing such discomfort that it affected his ability to eat and speak properly. W decided to start over with a new Denturist, From our first visit to Hayes we were treated with kindness and compassion. We had full confidence in his ability to help Peter and were richly rewarded. The dentures he made for him were a perfect fit the first time with no adjustments necessary. After months of suffering it felt like he was given a new lease on life.A special thank you to Christine, his office manager, who was always so welcoming, efficient and helpful.They make a great team! We would definitely recommend him to anyone in need of his services.

I walked into the denture clinic this afternoon with a broken upper partial. Three hours later I walked out with a repaired partial that fit better than it did originally. Dr Hayes was fantastic! He adjusted my partial until I was happy and comfortable with it. The receptionist, Christine, was wonderful and helpful as well. I hope this will be my only problem with my partial but if I do need it repaired or adjusted again, I will be returning to Dr Hayes. Thank you Dr Hayes!

Dr. Hayes Leung at the Glendale Office in St. Catharines is extremely nice to deal with, very confident and patient when fitting or relining dentures.

Hayes at Hayven Dentures was able to help my brother where previous professionals couldn't. The last set he owned constantly hurt him which led to way too many adjustments and they were always loose. We are very glad we found this gemstone denturist and will not forget such wonderful experience.

I had a very positive experience with Hayven Dentures today. My elderly mother broke her denture yesterday and as I live in another city and unable to get to her right away I called Hayven and the denturist went to the nursing home , picked up the denture , repaired it and returned it to her later in the day. The receptionist was very helpful in arranging this and I am very happy with the excellent service and compassion I experienced with them today.

Hayes from Hayven Dentures is very friendly and patient with my mother when she needed new dentures. During the whole process, Hayes was available to meet my mother at her home and answer all our questions. My mother's dentures were worn and they often fell out while she was eating. Hayven Dentures made her dentures fit so well that she can eat with no worries. Overall the experience was fabulous and I would recommend Hayven Dentures to everyone needing dentures.

I found Hayven Dentures on Facebook and decided to have complete dentures made by them. My journey began at the end of May and today, July 7th, I sit here with comfortable complete dentures that I'm thrilled with. I've had so many compliments from family and friends on how real they look and I no longer have to cover my mouth when I smile/laugh. My situation involved having teeth removed and immediate dentures same day. It was very painful at first and Hayes (Denturist) did everything in his power to alleviate the pain and his wonderful receptionist Christine followed up with me every step of the way . Hayes is so friendly and is definitely a master of his craft. I highly recommend Hayven Dentures.Sincerely,Sandra Laflamme 7/7/2018
