My mom recently got her partial dentures done at the Sunset Denture Clinic. We found Dr. Gerry to be very professional and friendly. He really spent time explaining everything to my mom who is hard of hearing. My mom was very happy with the end result. We recommend Dr. Gerry to anyone who requires dentures done.

I needed new partial dentures and Sunset Denture Clinic gave me the best care and service. Gerry is very competent from start to finish. He listened attentively to my concerns and considered my input as to how my new dentures would look like. He clearly explained things and he made me comfortable during the whole process. Claire, his receptionist is the best. She is very friendly, accomodating and supportive all throughout. I’m so happy with my new partials and I highly recommend this clinic.

I recently had the pleasure of seeing Gerry and his friendly receptionist Claire to have a denture relined.
I called early in the morning and, given the circumstances, Gerry had me come in right away, did the job and refitted me later the same day.

Service doesn’t get better.

Gerry is compassionate and professional. He cares for his clients and provides a first rate product.
Highly recommended.

Testimonial July 2018

From Google Reviews – July 2018

My mother in law long time dentist had removed her last remaining upper teeth and left her with an unusable old denture. She was unable to eat and was told to blend/drink all her food for the next 3-4 month until the area healed and was ready to make new denture. I was so upsets and mad at the dentist how could they be so inattentive and unreasonable. Then a friend had referred me to Gerry😊. I was so grateful and happy that he was able to arrange a sooner appointment and was able to make my mother in laws denture sooner. Gerry informed me that next time I could of had a set made before getting all her teeth pulled out so she didn’t need to go through that ordeal. Gerry was very informative and went through each steps and process with us and answered all our questions and doubles regarding dentures. He had gentle hands and made sure the dentures looked as realistic and great as possible. I would highly recommend his clinic for any denture needs.

Denture Care

Caring For Your Dentures

Daily cleaning with a soft brush and a professional denture cleaner,will assist in keeping your dentures clean and comfortable.

To ensure that you are in good oral health it is necessary to return to your Denturist for an examination every year. The Denturist will examine your denture for wear and fit and complete an oral examination.

As a rule of thumb, you should establish the following routine:

  • Have your dentures checked annually.
  • Reline your dentures every 2 to 3 years.
  • Replace your dentures every 5 to 6 years, depending on the amount of wear on the teeth and the shrinkage of your gums.

Gerry Lee-Kwen is a perfectionist in his practice and a gentleman with his patients. Our elderly aunt had put off getting major work done until she had no choice. Gerry put her at ease on the first visit and has been so kind to her at every appointment. He took the time to explain what needed to be done, gave her a few options and patiently walked her through every stage of the procedure, so that she felt at ease and comfortable in his care. His receptionist is also very kind, welcoming and supportive in her role. Can’t thank Sunset Denture Clinic enough for making the experience for my aunt a 5/5. I think she would return just to visit once her appointments are over!

Dentures

The thought of losing your teeth can be frightening, but you can have dentures or partials that are comfortable and look natural. Dentures and partials are removable replacements for your teeth. Dentures replace all of your teeth. Partials replace large groups of teeth and rely on surrounding teeth to hold them in place. In order to create dentures and partials that stay in place, are comfortable, and look natural, you must have a precise fit and bite alignment.

Losing all or some of your teeth does not mean losing your self-esteem or confidence. Whether you have lost teeth due to disease or because of an accident, there are many options to enhancing or creating the smile that is right for you. If you are missing one or more teeth, it is important to fill those spaces. Every tooth should have an opposing tooth to give you a full and balanced bite. Without a full compliment of teeth, you may be over traumatizing some or all of your remaining teeth. Without an opposing tooth in your bite, the tooth could erupt out of the supporting bone.

There are many treatment options available to alter or adjust existing dentures until you are ready to have new ones made. During your initial consultation you will be advised on whether you require a complete replacement, minor adjusting or a total transformation altogether to your existing dentures. Your Denturist or dentist will clearly explain and ensure you understand all of your options so you can make an informed decision about your treatment.

Dentures and partials made without a full understanding of your bite alignment can result in problems such as:

  • Dentures that slip and rub causing pain
  • Difficulty speaking
  • Difficulty chewing
  • Upper dentures that drop
  • Lower dentures that float
  • Misaligned bite
  • Damage to surrounding teeth
  • Dentures or partials that look fake

Today’s technology allows the Denturist to create a smile that is natural and confident. A denture doesn’t have to look like a denture any more. High quality teeth made with layers of different acrylics are as close to your natural teeth as can be. It is nearly impossible to tell them from the real thing allowing you to smile with complete confidence. Full Dentures A full denture is removable and is prescribed when all the teeth in one or both of your arches are missing.

First, the Denturist takes an accurate measurement of your face. Next, the shape and the shade of each tooth are carefully selected creating a custom smile designed especially for you. Partials A partial denture is a removable dental appliance supported by your natural teeth. It may be required where there are one or more missing teeth. Many options are available and often a partial denture is prescribed. A crown or bridge may be the preferred treatment and your Dentist or Denturist will advise you on the best treatment for you. Today, a wide variety of partial denture designs is available.

Removable Partial Dentures

Partial dentures do not harm remaining natural teeth. A partial denture may prevent your natural teeth from shifting or drifting into the space left by the loss of a natural tooth. In fact, a partial denture may help maintain the position of your natural teeth by providing them with additional support.

It can help you to chew food properly, improve speech, give you lip and cheek support, and prevent your remaining teeth from changing position by drifting into the surrounding spaces. Teeth that are out of position can damage the tissues in the mouth.

Lower Suction Dentures

Lower Suction Dentures

Gerry Lee-Kwen has taken a course in Dr. Jiro Abe’s revolutionary Japanese Lower Suction Denture and BPS technique. Now you can achieve suction on a lower denture – which means your lower denture no longer needs to float.

This new approach involves taking a high precision impression of your specific anatomical features of dental soft tissue and the underlying bony structures. The impression is then used to create a lower suction denture that has a complete seal around it’s entire borders. Using the latest in BPS processes and materials, the result is more accurate denture form with better denture suction.

80% of patients who wear full lower dentures may qualify for this new treatment. An exam will determine if you qualify. The level of suction achievable will be known once final impressions are taken.
