"IMPRESSION" : A mold is taken of your gums. A plaster/stone model is then poured. The exact replica of your mouth will enable us to build you a precision-fitting denture. 2. "BITE BLOCKS": The bite establishes the correct position your jaw should be in when they come together. A wax bite block is used to establish this position. Other points of anatomical interest will be marked on the block at this time. 3. "TRY IN": Type of teeth are selected, and they are actually set up with wax in a plastic denture. This enables us to move teeth around and change them, until we have achieved the desired look and function. Only when you are happy with the look do we begin the long involved process of fabrication and the finished product. 4. "INSERT": Today is the day you have been waiting for, the day you get your new dentures. We will insert your dentures, and make any necessary adjustments. You will then be informed of the best methods for good oral hygiene and denture care. 5. "ADJUSTMENT": New dentures can take up to a month or even longer to settle into your tissues. You will probably experience tender sore spots during this period. Be patient! If you get sore spots, give our office a call. That's what were here for!

Manager of Design & Construction Town of Halton Hills Infrastructure Services Department Tel: 905-873-2601 ext. 2310 Email: johnk@haltonhills.ca A diminished social life is one of the most difficult aspects of age related hearing loss. Many people avoid drawing attention to their hearing loss by having fewer social contracts when it becomes difficult understanding what is being said. The result is an altered and lonely existence that family and friends may mistake for dementia. Learning new strategies to cope with hearing loss could go a long way to restoring confidence and improving communication. The Hearing Clinic recommends the following: Inform people of the hearing loss so they may modify their speech; eliminate background noise; watch the speaker carefully and sharpen natural lip-reading abilities; ask the speaker to repeat what was said if necessary, and above all else; have your hearing thoroughly tested and properly fit with one of today's modern hearing instruments. Contact The Hearing Clinic if you or someone you know needs assistance.
