Comfortable, Natural-Looking Dentures in South Surrey
Missing teeth or a loose denture can make eating, speaking and smiling more difficult. At PowerSMILE Dental Centre, our in-house denturist, Sarwar Sarwari, RD, works alongside Dr. Hassan to provide coordinated denture care in one location.
We offer complete and partial dentures, implant-supported options, repairs and relines. We will explain what may be causing your concerns, review the choices available and help you understand which option may best suit your mouth, priorities and budget.
Which denture option may be right for you?
There is no single right denture. The best choice depends on how many teeth you are replacing, the health of your mouth, and what you are hoping for in comfort and fit. We will talk it through together and explain the benefits and trade-offs of each option, so you can make an informed decision about what feels right for you.
- Complete dentures to replace a full arch of teeth
- Partial dentures that fill gaps around the teeth you still have
- Implant-supported dentures for extra steadiness
- Repairs, adjustments and relines to improve the fit or function of an existing denture
Is your denture the whole problem?
Difficulty eating is not always caused by one issue. Loose dentures, worn teeth, older dental work, dry mouth and changes in your gums can all affect comfort and chewing. We examine your whole mouth—not only your denture—to help identify what may be contributing to the problem.
Why dentures become loose over time
After teeth are lost, the gums and jawbone gradually change shape. A denture that once fitted well may begin to move, trap food or create sore spots. This does not always mean you need a completely new denture.
Depending on its condition and the changes in your mouth, an adjustment, repair or reline may help. We examine both your denture and your mouth before recommending the next step.
How we make your dentures
We start with impressions and measurements, then design a denture shaped to your mouth and shaded to look natural. When appropriate, you will have a chance to see how the denture looks and provide feedback before it is finished. We then fine-tune the fit and bite to help make it as comfortable and natural-looking as possible.
Because our denturist is right here, follow-up adjustments are more convenient. It is normal for a new denture to need a few small adjustments as your mouth gets used to it. Simply call and book an appointment, and we will make any needed adjustments to help improve the fit and comfort.
Settling in and caring for your dentures
New dentures take a little getting used to while your cheeks, tongue and gums adjust. We will guide you through eating and speaking with them, and arrange follow-up care when needed.
Over time, your gums and jaw naturally change shape, so an occasional reline can help keep your dentures fitting well. Regular checkups also let us monitor your gums and overall mouth health, helping us catch small concerns early.

Frequently asked questions
How much do dentures cost in BC?+
The cost depends on whether you need a complete, partial or implant-supported denture, as well as the condition of your mouth and any preparation required. After examining your mouth and discussing your goals, we will provide a written treatment plan and estimate before you decide.
We will also help you understand your insurance or CDCP coverage and explain any expected out-of-pocket costs. You will not be asked to agree to treatment before you understand what we recommend, why we recommend it and what it is expected to cost.
What is the advantage of an in-house denturist?+

Will my dentures look natural?+
We design your dentures to look as natural as possible by shading and shaping them to suit your face and smile. When appropriate, you will have the opportunity to see how they look and provide feedback before they are finished.
Do dentures hurt or feel uncomfortable?+
There is usually a short settling-in period while your mouth adjusts to new dentures. Some mild discomfort and a few small adjustments can be normal at first. We will work with you to improve the fit and help make your dentures as comfortable as possible. Having our denturist right here makes follow-up appointments more convenient.
How often do dentures need to be replaced or relined?+
Your gums and jaw naturally change shape over time, so your dentures may eventually need to be relined or replaced. Regular checkups allow us to examine the fit, identify small concerns and help your dentures function well for as long as possible.
Can my existing dentures be repaired or relined?+
Possibly. If your denture is loose, uncomfortable or damaged, it may be possible to adjust, repair or reline it instead of replacing it. We will examine the denture and your mouth before recommending the most appropriate option.
