Frequently asked questions

Questions about these articles.

Who writes and reviews these articles?

Articles are written for Future Smiles Denture Clinic and reviewed by our denturist, Vadim “Vlad” Dumbrava. They explain denture options, care and costs in plain language. They are general information, not a diagnosis.

My denture is loose. Where should I start?

Start with our guide to denture relines in Calgary. A reline refits the inside of your denture to your gums. If the denture is cracked or broken, see same-day denture repairs.

Can I ask a denturist about my own situation?

Yes. Consultations are free at both Calgary clinics. Book online or call 403-475-0016, and bring your current denture if you have one.
