Frequently asked questions

Does Future Smiles accept CDCP?

Yes. Future Smiles accepts the Canadian Dental Care Plan. Individual eligibility, coverage and possible co-payments depend on your plan and circumstances. Contact our team if you would like help understanding the next steps.

Can a broken denture be repaired the same day?

Same-day denture repair may be available depending on the type of damage and when the denture can be assessed. Call the clinic as early as possible so the team can advise you.

Do I need a referral to see a denturist?

You can contact Future Smiles directly to arrange a denture consultation. If your situation requires coordination with another oral health provider, the team can discuss that with you.

What if my dentures are loose but not broken?

Loose dentures do not always mean you need a completely new denture. Depending on your mouth and the condition of the denture, an adjustment, reline, rebase or replacement may be discussed after assessment.

What happens at my first consultation?

The first visit is an opportunity to explain what is bothering you, discuss your goals and review appropriate denture options. The team can then explain recommended next steps and answer your questions.

Does Future Smiles offer denture try-in appointments?

For eligible denture cases, Future Smiles offers a try-in appointment before final processing. This can provide an opportunity to review the proposed appearance, tooth setup and bite and discuss appropriate changes with your denturist before the denture is finalized.

Does Future Smiles professionally clean dentures?

Yes. Future Smiles offers denture cleanings for patients who want help removing stubborn staining, buildup or odours and refreshing their dentures. Ask the clinic about cleaning availability and whether it is appropriate for your denture.
