Candidates for Dentures
Did you know that around one-quarter of adults over the age of 65 are missing all of their teeth? Dentures are a common and respectable solution to missing teeth. They are so dependable and natural-looking that you’ve probably spoken to someone with dentures and didn’t even know it. Do you think you might be a good candidate for dentures?
- Wish to replace several or all of your teeth.
- Not smoke or use other tobacco products.
- Have a healthy jawbone (we can help you with this!).
- Not suffer from dry mouth.
- Be prepared to take good care of your dentures at home.
- Continue to visit the dentist for routine exams – just like with natural teeth!
To be a good candidate for this restorative treatment you should:
How do I take care of my dentures? Take care of your dentures with routine cleanings and examinations. Even patients with perfect prosthetics need to visit their dentist from time to time. During your visit, we will take a look at your dentures and how they’re fitting and we will also examine your gums, tongue, jaw and mouth inside and out. In short-- we care about your oral health. Not just your teeth.
- Remove dentures overnight to let your mouth rest.
- Soak dentures in warm water with or without denture cleanser.
- Do not soak dentures with metal clasps in anything but warm water.
- When not wearing dentures, keep them in water so they don’t dry out and warp.
- DO NOT soak in hot water.
- With dentures removed, clean and massage your gums.
- If your toothbrush hurts your gums, run it under warm water or try using a finger wrapped in a clean damp cloth.
- If you have partial dentures, brush your natural teeth as usual.

to schedule an initial consultation & exam.
Your consultation will include an examination of everything from your teeth, gums and soft tissues to the shape and condition of your bite. Generally, we want to see how your whole mouth looks and functions. Before we plan your treatment we want to know everything about the health and aesthetic of your smile, and most importantly, what you want to achieve so we can help you get there.
Frequently Asked Questions
Dental bridges can be used to restore a gap caused by 1 to 3 missing teeth. Any number of missing teeth can be restored using dental implants. Dental implants typically have a higher initial investment cost and certain health requirements to qualify as a candidate for treatment.
With routine care and maintenance, your dentures should be good for 5 - 10 years. Aside from wear and tear on the dentures themselves, your mouth also changes over time and you may eventually decide it’s best to get fitted for a completely new set.
Yes, you can wear your dentures to bed but its recommended that you don’t. You should get into the habit of taking them out at night to soak so you can clean your mouth, gums and remaining natural teeth and then give your gums and jaw a chance to rest.
Your top dentures should suction to your gums. Your bottom dentures float above your gums but stay in place easily. Partial dentures should stay in line with natural teeth without moving very much. Implant-supported dentures snap in place and remain stable. If you’re questioning the fit of your denture, you are welcome to book an appointment so we can check your fit and make adjustments as needed.
After you’ve had some time to adjust to your dentures you should be able to eat almost anything. There are some foods that are hard on your dentures or that might cause rubbing or irritation. Foods that are hard or sticky like caramel, carrot sticks or a tough cut of meat or foods that contain little particles like popcorn or seeded crackers might present some challenge and should perhaps be enjoyed only as an occasional treat.

I started coming to South Oak Dental last year and I’ve had such a great experience. Dr Sidiura is kind and knowledgeable, his office is clean and modern. Katie is super sweet and always does such a good job cleaning my teeth. The receptionist is also welcoming and she always ensures to double check insurance coverage and direct bill, which we really appreciate. Definitely recommend !

South Oak Dental has been incredible for all my dental needs. Dr. Taran is amazing — I usually get nervous about anything dental-related, but he’s so gentle and always takes the time to listen to my concerns, which makes such a big difference.
Katie did my teeth cleaning and she was fantastic too! She was super thorough and even recommended some great options to help with my stubborn stains, which I really appreciated.
And the receptionist is always so friendly and helpful. She’s great at offering different appointment options and makes scheduling so easy.
Overall, such a kind, professional team. I always leave feeling well taken care of!

I just became a new patient of this clinic and I have had the best experience in a dentist office ever! I moved to the area just a couple of years ago and I had been looking for a local dentist. I did a lot of research and every time this clinic came on top in all the reviews, so I decided to give it a try. From the moment I booked the appointment, to first walking in, everything went very smoothly. Everyone was very polite and professional. The dental assistant that saw me first was Katie, who was very personable and took time to explain every step in detail. She obtained my X-rays using state of the art equipment and later performed a thorough cleaning. Dr. Sidiura is very knowledgeable, professional and with impeccable “bedside manners”. He ensured I understood everything perfectly and provided excellent treatment recommendations that I am following.
The administrative assistant at the front desk (Chassan) explained clearly all the paperwork, invoicing and insurance coverage. They also bill directly my insurance company, which is as it should be.
I highly recommend this dental clinic to everyone and I will not hesitate to send over other family members!

I’m a new patient at South Oak Dental after moving to Oakville from Toronto where my old dentist used to be. I’ve had an amazing experience so far! Katie is my dental hygienist and she’s been nothing but lovely. She has listened and understood my needs as a patient and is incredibly gentle. No more leaving the dentist with painful gums ☺️
I met Dr. Sidiura for my first consultation appointment and he seemed very professional and knowledgeable. He will be doing some fillings for me in a few weeks and I have no doubt that he will do an amazing job. I highly recommend South Oak Dental!
