Digital Dentures
Digital dentures are the latest advancement in denture technology.
We are proud to be leaders in our field and offer this cutting-edge technology to our patients in Kingston Ontario.
Digital dentures are the most accurate denture prosthesis on the market today. Impressions can now be done digitally making gagging with traditional impressions a thing of the past.
Digital impressions are much more comfortable and accurate. The digital design and milling process ensures accuracy down to microns, delivering unprecedented results. Finally because all the information used to create your custom denture is stored as a file, there is no need to worry should you loose or break your denture. We can use that same file at a later date to create an exact copy of the original denture.
Now that’s peace of mind.

NMD (Neuromuscular Dentures)/A Denture Facelift
What is NMD?
Providing dentures superior in appearance and function requires a combination of science and art. NMD is an abbreviation for Neuromuscular Dentistry. The “neuromuscular denturist” is one who studies computer generated information concerning the status and function of the muscles and joints involved in your bite (occlusion), in addition to all of the traditional means of dental diagnosis.
In other words, the NM denturist considers teeth, muscles and joints – not just teeth. This expanded information permits the denturist to optimize the bite that in turn provides better function.
How does NMD help provide superior dentures?
When restoring a single tooth, the denturist can use the rest of your teeth as a reference for how high the new tooth should be and how it fits. An edentulous patient (one without teeth) presents a bigger challenge – Where do you put the teeth? Where to establish the bite (how high to make the upper and lower teeth) has traditionally been largely an arbitrary decision based on the denturist’s experience. While the patient may get by with this arbitrary bite position, it frequently leads to functional problems in chewing or speech and may also result in considerable discomfort or pain. An arbitrary bite position may also result in a very unnatural look.
In NMD, the denturist precisely measures the activity of the muscles that control the jaw and determines an optimum jaw position from that study. The bite is then built to this jaw position – one dictated by your own body when the muscles are truly relaxed.
In the neuromuscular evaluation process the NM denturist also looks for any abnormalities in your jaw function and will take steps to correct them in finalizing the dentures. Technology is also used in taking the impressions for making your dentures. This leads to a denture base that is held in place by the soft tissues of the cheeks, preventing “rocking” or looseness of the denture.
Where does the art come from?
Even the smallest details of tooth selection and placement are studied – size of various teeth, angle at which they are set, ratios of height to width, shade & color, and many other factors. In the end, all of these features come together to produce a remarkably natural looking appearance.

Implant Dentures
What Are Implant Retained Dentures?
Implant retained dentures are dentures that are held in place with the assistance of two or more implants (root replacements).
These implants are used to replace the natural root that has been extracted. These dentures are also referred to as overdentures. These overdentures provide the retentive strength that you desire, eliminating slipping and movement.
No more pain or embarrassment! Laugh and speak with confidence and enjoy your favorite foods.
Why Choose Implant Retained Dentures?
Loose dentures that may cause embarrassment or discomfort during social settings are now a thing of the past. Because implant retained dentures look and feel more like natural teeth they offer a far more superior level of comfort and security that you can not achieve with traditional dentures. As a result of having an implant retained denture you don’t have to worry about your dentures slipping or popping out place while chewing or speaking. You will also have a stronger bite force and more control over your dentures to eat all the foods you enjoy.
Other benefits include:
Eliminate many of the sore spots caused by traditional dentures,
Eliminate denture creams and adhesives used to hold your dentures in place,
Assist in controlling facial contour changes that lead to premature wrinkles and aging by preventing deterioration of the jaw bon
How They Work

Many of your sore spots will be totally eliminated and you will be able to eat all the foods you enjoy with all the confidence you had with your natural teeth.

Traditional Dentures
Whether you are missing some, or all of your teeth, Mark Martins Implant Denture Clinic can assist you in replacing your teeth with a complete or partial denture.
Complete Denture
Complete dentures are used to restore dental arch’s in which no natural teeth are present. They are essential in restoring ones ability to chew, maintain aesthetics and for speech. The life of dentures are approximately 5-7 years.
Mark Martins Implant Denture Clinic offers a full range of denture treatments. From our standard traditional denture, to the B.P.S. denture, all the way to our implant treatment. Your guaranteed to find a denture treatment that works best for you.
Partial Denture
A removable partial denture is used to replace single or multiple missing teeth, and it attached to adjacent natural teeth with a clasp, by precision attachment or dental implants.
They can be made of a traditional acrylic base, or have a metal framework. A partial denture is essential for chewing and speech as well as lip and cheek support. Partial dentures also prevent your remaining teeth from drifting and overgrowing into the surrounding space.
Relines (Denture Realignment)
When you don’t have the protection of natural teeth, bone begins to deteriorate and shrink over time.
Bone loss can make your jaw line recede and change its natural shape. This bone loss and change in shape will contiue as years go by, which will cause your denture to loosen.
While implant retained dentures are the best solution to eliminating bone loss and a loose denture, some patients prefer a faster, temporary fix called a reline. In most cases, the Denturists at Mark Martins Denture Clinic can make your denture a tighter fit through a reline procedure, making your denture more comfortable to wear. Mark Martins denture Clinic is proud to be the only office in Kingston currently offering digital relines. Digital reline allow you to keep your existing denture as a spare while receiving a relined copy that is tighter than the original denture.
