We specialize in a comprehensive approach to your care, from the initial denture consultation to follow-up appointments. When you get dentures from Lewis Family & Implant Dentistry, you’ll get a smile that’s proud to share.
Dentures can have a big impact on your appearance. When fitted correctly, they can dramatically improve your smile.
Whether you’ve just received dentures or had your dentures readjusted, they can take time to get used to. You may gag and have trouble eating and speaking. Fortunately, this adjustment period only lasts a few weeks.
Dentures are one of the more affordable tooth replacement options out there, but they can still be costly, even with insurance.
Dental implants are considered the “gold standard” in dental restoration, but they may not be for everyone. There are different advantages and disadvantages of dental implants and dentures.
With proper care, a set of dentures typically lasts five to ten years. When you come in for regular check-ups, we’ll let you know when it’s time for adjustments or replacements.
We do not recommend sleeping with your dentures. Wearing them 24/7 can lead to irritation, infection, and accelerated bone loss.
If your dentures start to slip or feel uncomfortable, don’t wait. Call our office right away. You may just need an adjustment or realignment.
Yes, we take dental insurance for dentures. Not only that, we strive to make coverage for dentures as simple as possible by working with you and your insurance company. We have extensive experience working closely with insurance companies and understand the nuances of this process.
At Lewis Family & Implant Dentistry, we believe that everyone should have access to the dental care they need, and dentures are an important part of that. If you’re unsure what’s covered and what isn’t, give us a call, and we’ll answer your questions and work through it with you.
The fundamental difference is how they connect to your mouth, which changes everything about how they feel and function.
These rest directly on your gums, held in place by natural suction and sometimes messy adhesives. Because they aren’t anchored, they can shift when you eat or talk. This can limit your diet (goodbye, steak and corn on the cob!) and make you feel less confident.
These are anchored to your jawbone itself. Dental implants are placed in your jaw, and the denture securely snaps or locks onto them. This creates a rock-solid foundation. You have very few, if any, limitations to what you can eat, speak clearly, and laugh without a second thought. They feel and function much more like natural teeth.

It starts with a simple consultation. Call our Vancouver office today to schedule yours.
