Lower Suction DentureS

Custom-Fitted Dentures in Ottawa

If you currently have a lower denture, you may find yourself worrying about whether or not your lower denture is lifting inappropriately. While unfortunate and infrequent, lower dentures do tend to have less stability. To anchor them in a more fixed position, you might want to consider consulting Vranjes Denture Clinic about our lower suction dentures in Ottawa.

Our lower suction dentures are part of a new technique that enhances the suction effect and stability of a full lower denture by creating a seal around the entire border of the denture base through a suction mechanism. This ensures that you can have a firmer and low-maintenance lower denture to maintain your smile.

If you are considering replacing your old lower denture with one of our lower suction dentures around Ottawa, please contact Vranjes Denture Clinic today. We will able to help you determine if lower suction dentures are right for you.

Lower Suction Denture FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

As the name suggests, lower suction dentures rely on suction to stay in place. They don’t require any messy adhesives or costly dental implants! A precise and detailed impression allows for a strong seal and firm suction to secure your dentures in place for increased confidence with speaking, eating, and smiling.

Suction dentures are able to stay securely in place due to the creation of a vacuum between the gums and the dentures. This can only be done with an incredibly detailed impression of your gums so that the dentures fit perfectly to the natural shape of your jaw.

Roughly ~80% of all denture patients are eligible for Lower Suction dentures. One of the only things that would disqualify a patient for getting Suction dentures is if they’ve recently had teeth extracted from their lower jaw. Recent extractions can cause gum wounds to open up, bleed, and can lead to infection. Once the gums have healed from extraction, you will then become eligible for Lower Suction dentures.

With proper attention to denture care and good oral hygiene habits, a Lower Suction denture will typically last between 7-10 years. Keep in mind that this range can vary significantly from one patient to the next based on the quality of their dentures, their habits, and their attention to properly maintaining their dentures.

Compared to most other forms of dentures, Lower Suction dentures are well-known to be one of the most comfortable types of dentures. They don’t require adhesives and the suction force provides a secure and natural feel. It will take some adjustment at first, but once acclimated, your Suction dentures will look and feel just like your natural teeth.

Lower Suction dentures that are created by an experienced denturist can provide a whole host of benefits, including:

  • Improved Chewing Ability
  • Enhanced Appearance
  • Natural Look & Feel
  • Fewer Sore Spots
  • Fully Customizable & Custom-Fit
  • No Need for Implants
