Let’s address the question I hear more often than you’d think:
“Are dentures still a thing?”
The short answer? YES—very much so.
The longer answer? Yes—and when they’re done right, they’re more beautiful, comfortable, and confidence-boosting than ever before.
Hi, I’m Jennifer Auld, denturist and proud owner of Swiss Denture in Calgary, where we’ve seen firsthand how modern dentures are changing lives—without looking like traditional “dentures” at all.
So if you’re wondering whether dentures are outdated, uncomfortable, or something your grandparents wore… let me set the record straight.
Why Dentures Are Still a Go-To Solution
Dentures have come a long way from the days of one-size-fits-all pink plastic. Today’s dentures are designed with precision, function, and aesthetics in mind. In fact, for many people, they’re still the most effective and affordable way to restore missing teeth—especially when implants aren’t an option (yet or ever).
Whether you’re missing a few teeth or all of them, modern dentures can:
- Restore your smile and facial structure
- Make eating and speaking easier
- Boost self-confidence
- Help prevent remaining teeth from shifting
- Improve overall quality of life
And yes, when crafted with care, they can also look completely natural. I’ve had patients tell me their new dentures look better than their original teeth ever did!
Who Still Gets Dentures?
You might be surprised to learn that it’s not just seniors walking through our doors. At Swiss Denture, we serve clients from their 20s to their 90s—people who’ve lost teeth due to illness, accidents, gum disease, or genetics.
Life happens. And when it does, you deserve a solution that’s both functional and beautiful. That’s exactly what we provide.
What Makes Swiss Denture Different?
Dentures shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all solution—and at Swiss Denture, they never are.
We take the time to get to know you, your goals, and your lifestyle. That includes:
- Custom design and fit – No generic moulds here. Every denture is handcrafted with detail and precision.
- Natural aesthetics – We match tooth shade, size, and shape to complement your features.
- Comfort-first approach – Your dentures should feel as good as they look. We focus on stability, function, and easy wear.
- Ongoing support – We’re here before, during, and long after your fitting. Need adjustments or relines? We’ve got you.
Whether you need complete dentures, partials, implant-supported options, or repairs—we offer a full range of denture services, with warmth and expertise.
What If I’m Not Ready for Dentures?
That’s okay! Some patients come in just to ask questions. You don’t need to be “ready” for anything—we’re here to help you understand your options.
And if full dentures aren’t the right choice, we’ll talk through partials, implant-retained dentures, or transitional solutions to help you move forward comfortably and confidently.
No pressure. No judgment. Just honest, caring advice.
So… Are Dentures Still a Thing?
Yes—absolutely.
And at Swiss Denture, they’re not just “a thing.” They’re a beautifully crafted, life-changing thing that brings function, confidence, and joy back to your everyday life.
If you’ve been living with missing teeth, struggling with an old denture, or wondering if it’s time to explore your options—let’s talk. You deserve to feel good about your smile, and we’re here to help make that happen.
Modern dentures. Personal care. Natural results.
At Swiss Denture in Calgary, we still believe in the power of a great smile—and we’re proud to make that possible, one person at a time.
