Why Choose Dentures?

You can take them out at night
They are fairly easy to clean
They are more affordable
They help preserve your remaining teeth
Maintain a healthier mouth
We follow the latest and lowest fee guide released by the Alberta Dental Association to make Dentistry more affordable for our patients.
Denture technology has improved over the last number of years, and current options are more stable, making it easier to chew and speak than older versions. That being said, dentures are not for everyone. Dentures are not always comfortable and some people don’t like that they come out. There is also the risk of losing or breaking them.
Types of Dentures
Bridges are often a great option because they are permanent, and you don’t have to worry about taking them out at night or losing them. To take care of your bridge, you’ll need to brush and floss daily to keep them free from plaque and tartar, just like the rest of your teeth.
While dental bridges have many benefits, they might not be an option if you don’t have enough healthy teeth to stabilize a bridge or if you are under budgetary constraints. A consultation with Dr. Prasa will help you make an informed choice about what option works best for you.

At Yankee Valley Dental we always strive to see patients who walk through our doors. We have comfortable dental chairs with a television in each operatory. You can sit and watch the news, sports, or a movie on our big screen TVs while you wait for the doctor to come see you.
At Yankee Valley Dental we never want a patient to be left unseen when they are in pain. We understand that emergencies happen, and that they can be time sensitive. If left untreated, some emergencies like dental infections could quickly turn into life-threatening conditions. We are open on evenings and weekends to accommodate our patients, and available by phone to answer calls if emergencies happen outside of business hours.
Being an assignment office means that we work with your insurance company to determine the percentage that they cover for each visit; our office will then only collect the amount that your insurance does not cover. It is worth noting that some insurances will only disclose personal details like coverage to the insurer – in this case we can give you all the information you need to determine what your instance coverage is.
