Their FAQ
Answers from their website.
How long do dentures last?
Typically 5–10 years. Gums and bone change shape over time, so the fit usually needs updating via relines or replacement.
Are dentures covered by the CDCP in Burnaby?
Yes, dentures are among the services the Canadian Dental Care Plan can cover for eligible Canadians of every age. Some services require preauthorization. Burnaby South Dental accepts CDCP and helps with the paperwork.
Do dentures hurt?
A properly fitted denture should not hurt. Minor sore spots during the first weeks are normal and are corrected with quick adjustment visits.
Will dentures look natural?
Modern dentures are custom-shaded and shaped to match your face; most people cannot tell a well-made denture from natural teeth.
Does a root canal hurt?
No — with modern anesthetic, a root canal feels comparable to getting a filling. Most discomfort people associate with root canals comes from the infection beforehand, which the treatment relieves.
How long does a root canal take?
Usually one or two visits of 60–90 minutes, depending on the tooth. Front teeth are faster; molars take longer.
Is a root canal covered by the CDCP in Burnaby?
Endodontic (root canal) services are included under the Canadian Dental Care Plan within plan limits, and some treatments may require preauthorization. Burnaby South Dental accepts CDCP and can help verify your coverage — call (604) 540-6000.
Is it better to have a root canal or pull the tooth?
Saving your natural tooth with root canal therapy is usually the better long-term choice. Extraction may seem cheaper, but replacing a missing tooth with an implant, bridge, or denture typically costs more over time, and nothing functions quite like your natural tooth.
