What began as a single-Denturist practice founded by Ken Battell, DD, is now led by his son, second-generation licensed Denturist Michael Battell, DD — combining more than 50 years of craftsmanship with honest, compassionate, senior-friendly care. The clinic's guiding idea is simple: a well-made denture does more than restore a smile. It lets people eat nutritious meals without pain, speak and laugh with confidence, and feel like themselves again. **Learn More:** [About Battell Denture Clinic](https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/about/) | [Frequently Asked Questions](https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/frequently-asked-questions/) | [Resources](https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/resources/) | [Contact Us](https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/contact/) ### The On-Site Laboratory Advantage Every denture Battell provides is designed, crafted, fitted, and maintained in the clinic's on-site laboratory in Hamilton. Many providers ship work to outside labs; crafting dentures in-house gives the Denturist direct quality control over each case, a faster turnaround, and the ability to handle rush cases and same-day adjustments. It is also why repairs, relines, and additions can frequently be completed the same day — minimizing the time a patient is without their denture. ### Two Generations of Denturists The clinic has been family-run and Denturist-led since 1975. That continuity means decades of accumulated technique and a personal relationship with the Hamilton community, including active involvement in local education, healthy living, and community support. ### Our Approach to Care Battell Denture Clinic provides a safe, caring, clean, and comfortable environment with an honest, no-pressure approach. First appointments begin with a one-on-one consultation and oral examination, with time to listen to concerns and discuss options — there is never any obligation to proceed. New patients are always welcome with no referral required, and every treatment plan starts with a free, no-obligation consultation and a clear written estimate. ## Core Business Facts - Battell Denture Clinic | specializes in | custom complete, partial, immediate, and implant-secured dentures, plus relines, additions, and repairs - Battell Denture Clinic | serves | denture patients across Hamilton and surrounding communities, including seniors and Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) recipients - Battell Denture Clinic | provides | free no-obligation consultations and dentures crafted in an on-site laboratory for a better, faster-turnaround fit - Battell Denture Clinic | differentiates through | a second-generation licensed Denturist who personally oversees every case in the in-house lab ## Denture Services - **Complete Dentures:** Complete dentures restore a full set of teeth when all natural teeth have been lost in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. They are custom-made from models of your mouth and can be fully removable, implant-secured, or fixed-removable. [Learn More](https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/dentures/complete-dentures/) - **Partial Dentures:** A partial denture replaces one or more missing natural teeth while preserving the natural teeth you still have, which helps maintain jaw alignment. Removable partial dentures restore appearance and greatly improve the ability to chew and speak; they can be fully removable or implant-secured. [Learn More](https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/dentures/partial-dentures/) - **Immediate Dentures:** Immediate dentures are made in advance and placed the same day your teeth are removed, so you are never without teeth during healing. As gums and jawbone heal and change shape, immediate dentures may need adjusting, relining, or replacing to maintain proper fit and appearance. [Learn More](https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/dentures/immediate-dentures/) - **Implant-Secured Dentures:** Supported by dental implants, these dentures provide firm, stable retention that reduces movement and improves fit, facial support, speech, comfort, and chewing — while helping slow bone loss at the implant sites.

These situations feel urgent, and they usually are. Same Day Denture Repair solves most types of denture breakage. At Battell Denture Clinic on Concession Street, our on-site laboratory lets many patients walk out the same afternoon with a comfortable fit that helps restore your smile. Since 1975, our family practice has handled thousands of repairs for people across Hamilton, Ontario, and surrounding communities including Stoney Creek, Dundas, Ancaster, Burlington, Waterdown, and Grimsby. Why an On-Site Laboratory Saves You Days Most Hamilton denture clinics send repair work to an outside lab. A courier picks the appliance up in the morning and delivers it hours later. The outside lab returns it a few business days after that. Even a simple cracked denture can take three to five days to come back. During that time, patients often eat soft food only, skip social events, or wear a temporary appliance that never quite fits. Battell Denture Clinic runs its own laboratory inside the same building where Michael Battell, DD sees patients. There is no courier, no waiting queue behind other clinics, and no communication gap between the denturist and the technician. Many repairs are finished while you wait or ready for pickup the same afternoon. Complex cases still take longer, but the difference between on-site and off-site work is usually measured in days rather than hours. The clinical benefit runs deeper than speed. The denturist who examines your mouth is the same person who shapes the acrylic and sets the tooth using high-quality materials. Small adjustments during a chairside try-in go straight into the finished custom-made repair. This same-day service is possible because the lab and clinic share a wall. Denture Damage We Fix at the On-Site Lab Not every break is the same. Some denture repairs are straightforward and take under an hour. Others need careful bonding, tooth matching, or a small rebuild. Call for a same-day appointment if you notice any of the following: A cracked denture base or a hairline fracture in the acrylic A denture tooth that has chipped, snapped, or become loose A clasp that no longer grips your remaining teeth A poor fit that shifts, clicks, or can cause irritation and sore spots Below are the most common problems we handle at our Hamilton laboratory. Cracks and Fractures in the Denture Base Acrylic bases crack for many reasons. The most common cause is a drop onto a hard bathroom sink. Cracks also develop over time as the fit changes and chewing pressure builds up in one spot. Small hairline cracks along the palate or flanges are usually repairable on the same day. When a denture breaks cleanly down the middle of an upper plate, we can repair it too, as long as all the pieces are intact and the fit was reasonable before the breakage. Bring every fragment with you,… --- ### Removable Partial Dentures in Hamilton - **URL:** https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/removable-partial-dentures-hamilton/ - **Published:** 2026-08-17 - **Modified:** 2026-08-17 - **Author:** Christopher M.

Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth, bring back comfortable chewing and clear speech, and stop your remaining teeth from drifting into the empty space. At Battell Denture Clinic, a licensed denturist builds and fits every appliance in our own laboratory at 409 Concession Street. Making the denture in-house is what keeps it comfortable and quiet instead of loose and clicking. What a Removable Partial Denture Does A partial denture holds replacement teeth on a base. Small clasps or precision attachments grip the teeth you still have, so the appliance is held in place while you eat and talk. You take it out to clean it and put it back yourself. Partial dentures replace some missing teeth. Full dentures replace all missing teeth in an upper or lower arch. Both protect your oral health by keeping your bite balanced. A missing tooth is more than a gap in your smile. The teeth beside the space slowly tilt into it. The tooth above or below it grows longer because nothing meets it anymore. Your bite shifts, and the chewing force lands on fewer teeth. That extra load wears those teeth down and raises your risk of losing multiple teeth later. Patients choose dentures to restore easy eating before that damage spreads. Who Is a Good Candidate Most Hamilton patients who book a consultation at Battell Denture Clinic arrive with one of a few familiar problems. They lost a tooth to decay, a fracture, or gum disease. They cannot chew meat, raw vegetables, or crusty bread without trouble. Their speech changed, and they now whistle or slur certain sounds. Some have existing dental work, such as crowns, that can support clasps. Many are simply wearing an older partial that has gone loose, cracked, or discoloured after years of daily use. If several teeth are failing at once, a denturist may discuss complete and partial dentures together. Immediate dentures are another route, because they let you leave with teeth on the same day your extractions are done. A dental bridge is a fixed option a dentist may raise, but it means reshaping the healthy teeth on either side. A partial denture costs less, comes out for cleaning, and leaves those teeth alone. Types of Removable Partial Dentures No single type of denture fits every mouth. Michael Battell, DD checks your remaining teeth, your gums, and what you are comfortable with in terms of your budget, then will recommend the best denture option for your case. Acrylic partials: a gum-coloured plastic base with wire clasps. This is the affordable denture choice, and it works well while your gums heal. Cast metal framework partials: a thin, strong cobalt-chromium frame. The metal lets the base sit slimmer against your palate, so most patients find it the easiest to get used to. Flexible and invisible clasp partials: the clasps are tooth-coloured instead of silver, so these dentures are… --- ### Immediate Dentures Explained: What to Expect After Your Teeth Are Removed - **URL:** https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/immediate-dentures-explained-what-to-expect-after-your-teeth-are-removed/ - **Published:** 2026-07-31 - **Modified:** 2026-07-23 - **Author:** Christopher M.

Most people share the same worry before surgery: “Will I have to go without teeth?” In most cases, the answer is no. Immediate dentures let you leave your appointment with a full smile on the same day your teeth come out. At Battell Denture Clinic in Hamilton, we design immediate dentures before your extractions, so your new teeth are ready the moment you need them. What Is an Immediate Denture? An immediate denture is a full or partial denture made before your natural teeth are removed. Your denturist inserts it right after your extractions, during the same visit. This approach works whether you need one tooth removed, several teeth removed, or all of your remaining teeth removed. You never have to face the world without teeth while your mouth heals. Immediate dentures serve two clear purposes. They replace your missing teeth, and they protect your mouth during the first stage of healing. Because your professional denturist prepares the denture in advance, every measurement is taken while your natural teeth are still in place. This helps your new smile resemble your original teeth. If you prefer, it also gives you the chance to improve the shape, shade, and alignment of your smile. Who Is a Good Candidate for Immediate Dentures? Immediate dentures suit many patients who face full or partial tooth removal. Good candidates include people who cannot go without teeth for work or social reasons, and people who want to protect their appearance during recovery. Your denturist reviews your gum health, your jawbone, and the reason for your extractions before recommending this option. A short exam confirms whether an immediate denture is the right fit for your situation. Some patients are better served by a different approach. If your gums need treatment before healing, or if you want the most stable long-term result from the start, your denturist may suggest an alternative such as partial dentures or a staged plan. A free consultation is the fastest way to learn which path fits your mouth. How Immediate Dentures Protect Your Smile the Same Day An immediate denture does far more than fill the space left by missing teeth. It supports your comfort, your appearance, and your daily life from the very first day. These benefits matter most in the days right after surgery, when your mouth is tender and your tissues are still settling. Immediate dentures offer several benefits during healing: They cover and protect the extraction sites like a bandage, which helps reduce swelling and discomfort. They support your lips and facial muscles, so your face keeps its natural shape. They let you speak and smile with confidence right away. They help you move from a soft-food diet back to firmer foods as your gums heal. Your denture acts as a shield while your body begins to recover. This protection is one of the main reasons denturists recommend immediate dentures after tooth extraction.

Labbate **Summary:** If you have called more than one denture clinic, you have probably noticed that prices differ from place to place. It is natural to wonder why. The answer is straightforward:... **Content:** If you have called more than one denture clinic, you have probably noticed that prices differ from place to place. It is natural to wonder why. The answer is straightforward: no two patients, and no two sets of dentures, are exactly alike. Your denture treatment options depend on your mouth, your goals, and your health. At Battell Denture Clinic in Hamilton, we build every denture to fit one person, which is why costs vary from patient to patient. Why Denture Prices Vary From Person to Person Every denture is custom-made for a unique mouth. Several factors shape the final design and the fees that come with it. Your jaw shape, your bite, your facial muscles, your remaining teeth, your bone structure, your oral health, and your personal expectations all affect the plan. A treatment that works well for one person may not suit another. Because of this, the fee for your dentures may differ from a neighbor’s treatment, or from a price you saw in an advertisement. At Battell Denture Clinic, we believe successful dentures do more than replace missing teeth. Good dentures let you eat comfortably, speak clearly, smile with confidence, and support your facial appearance for years. These outcomes depend on the right materials, the right technique, and the right fit for your mouth. Denture Treatment Options That Affect Your Cost Depending on your needs, your treatment plan may include one or more of the options below. Each one adds value in specific situations, and your denturist recommends it only when it improves your result. Advanced Measuring and Jaw Relation Techniques Precise measurements improve the fit, function, and comfort of your dentures. Advanced jaw relation techniques record how your upper and lower jaws meet. This helps your denturist balance your bite, which reduces sore spots and improves chewing. A well-balanced bite also protects your gums and jaw over the long term. Implant-Secured Dentures Implant-secured dentures attach to small posts placed in your jawbone. This option, sometimes called implant-supported dentures, gives you greater stability and stronger chewing power. Implant-secured dentures stop the slipping and rocking that many people struggle with, and they remove the need for messy adhesives. A loose lower denture often improves dramatically with this approach. Premium Denture Base Materials and Soft Liners Premium base materials and resilient soft liners add comfort, especially for sensitive gum tissue. A soft liner cushions the surface that rests against your gums, which makes daily wear easier for many patients. Higher-grade base materials also resist cracking and hold their shape over time. A Wide Selection of Denture Teeth Denture teeth come in many shapes, sizes, shades, and materials. The right selection creates a natural-looking smile that suits your face and your age. Higher-grade teeth resist wear and hold their appearance longer, which keeps your smile looking fresh for years. We recommend these options only when they provide a real benefit to your treatment. We never suggest an upgrade simply because it costs more. As a result, your fees reflect the specific… --- ### Dentures vs. Dental Implants: Costs, Benefits & Which Is Right for You - **URL:** https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/dentures-vs-dental-implants-costs-benefits/ - **Published:** 2026-07-17 - **Modified:** 2026-07-23 - **Author:** Christopher M.

Both bring back your bite and your confidence. Still, dental implants and dentures work in different ways, cost different amounts, and suit different people. As a Denture Specialist serving Greater Hamilton since 1975, Battell Denture Clinic helps you compare each tooth replacement option with honest facts and no pressure. This guide breaks down the costs, the benefits, and the drawbacks of each, so you can make an informed choice with a clear head. How Dentures and Dental Implants Work Dentures are removable prosthetic devices that rest on the gums. A set of full dentures replaces a whole arch of teeth. A partial denture fills the gaps and protects the natural teeth you still have. Traditional dentures rest on your gum tissue and hold their place with suction or a mild adhesive. Modern dentures fit better and look more natural than older, conventional dentures. Dentures cost less at the start, and they need no surgery. Dental implants work in a different way. Implants are titanium posts placed into the jawbone by a surgeon. Each implant post is set surgically, and it acts as an artificial tooth root. Together, these posts work as artificial tooth roots that anchor your new teeth. Over a few months, the bone grows around the post, and the implants integrate with the jaw. That healed bond then holds a crown, a fixed bridge, or a full arch of teeth. Because implants replace the missing root, they stay firm and feel close to natural teeth. A third choice blends both. Implant-supported dentures, also called snap-in dentures or implant-secured dentures, clip onto a small number of implants. Two or more implants support the implant-retained denture and stop it from slipping. Compared to dentures alone, this design adds real stability at a lower cost than a full set of fixed implants. Cost Comparison: Dental Implants vs Dentures Cost often decides the outcome, so look at the numbers side by side. These figures reflect typical Canadian pricing, and they shift with materials and case difficulty. Cost of dentures: A quality set of standard dentures runs $800 to $1,500. Premium materials can reach about $3,000 per arch. Over time, you may pay more for adhesives, relines, and repairs. Cost of implants: A single implant tooth costs $1,500 to $6,000. A full-arch, four-implant system often starts near $15,000 per arch. A full-mouth restoration can reach $40,000. Implant-supported dentures: This blended option costs more than traditional dentures but far less than a full fixed-implant set. That balance makes it a popular value choice. The starting price of dentures is lower. Implants carry a higher initial cost, yet they can last a lifetime with good care. Your budget, your timeline, and your goals set the right math for you, so weigh all three together. Benefits and Drawbacks of Each Option Every tooth replacement has trade-offs.

For many Hamilton seniors living on a fixed income, the cost of dental care and the government programs that help cover it matter as much as fit and comfort. Battell Denture Clinic has served Greater Hamilton families from 409 Concession Street since 1975, and owner Michael Battell, DD personally guides every patient through their options. This guide explains the denture types available, what they cost in Hamilton, and which dental programs help seniors pay for treatment. Why Tooth Loss Increases After Age 65 Tooth loss becomes more common after 65. Years of plaque buildup damage the gums and bone that hold teeth in place, and gum disease is the leading cause. Dry mouth from common medications speeds up decay, and chronic conditions such as diabetes and osteoporosis weaken teeth over time. The effects reach beyond appearance. Seniors who lose teeth often struggle to chew fruits, vegetables, and proteins, which leads to poor nutrition. Routine dental care and good oral health habits slow this decline. Once teeth are gone, well-fitted dentures restore chewing power, support the face, and rebuild the confidence to smile. Types of Dentures for Seniors The right denture depends on how many teeth are missing, jawbone density, and the condition of any remaining teeth. Battell Denture Clinic handcrafts complete dentures in its on-site Hamilton laboratory, which allows same-day repairs and precise adjustments. Complete Dentures Complete dentures replace all teeth on the upper jaw, the lower jaw, or both. They suit seniors who have lost all their natural teeth. Battell offers many denture options to match different needs and budgets. Partial Dentures In order to fill the gaps, partial dentures are used for missing teeth, while protecting the healthy natural teeth that remain. A metal or flexible framework holds the replacement teeth in place, and invisible clasp options give a natural look. Implant-Secured Dentures Implant-secured dentures area a dental implant option, that are placed in the jawbone. They give the strongest hold, stop slipping, and remove the need for adhesives. This option works well for seniors frustrated with loose lower dentures. Immediate Dentures Immediate dentures go in the same day teeth are extracted, so you never leave without teeth. A denturist can preform denture relines for a better fit, once the jaw settles into its final shape. Benefits of Dentures for Seniors Properly fitted dentures help seniors stay healthy and active: Better nutrition: Restored chewing power supports a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals. Clearer speech: Dentures correct the slurring that missing teeth cause. Facial support: Dentures hold up the cheeks and lips, which prevents a sunken look. Social confidence: A full smile helps seniors return to social situations they once avoided. Better oral health: Caring for dentures and gums lowers the risk of infections linked to poor dental care. What Dentures Cost in Hamilton Denture prices depend on the type, the materials, and how much work your case needs.

When you need an emergency denture repair in Hamilton, you usually want two answers fast: how soon can it be fixed, and how much will it cost? Most repairs cost less than people expect. Many Hamilton residents now pay little or nothing because of the Canadian Dental Care Plan. This guide covers real repair prices, what the CDCP pays, what private insurance covers, and how to keep your out-of-pocket costs low. What Emergency Denture Repair Costs in Hamilton Denture repairs are one of the most affordable parts of denture care. In the Hamilton area, most repairs and relines cost about $100 to $500 before any coverage applies. Simple repairs without an impression start at the lower end, while relines and more complex work approach the higher end. The price depends on the damage and the type of denture. Complete dentures, partial dentures, and immediate dentures can all be fixed, and each problem has its own solution. The most common denture emergencies are easy to spot: A cracked or split base A broken or missing tooth A snapped metal clasp on a partial denture A loose denture, because the inside no longer matches your gums A denturist can quote your exact cost after a short look. Price is only half the story. Speed matters just as much in an emergency. A clinic with an on-site lab can finish most repairs the same day, often within hours. A clinic that ships your denture to an outside lab can take a week or more. Battell Denture Clinic builds and repairs dentures in its own Hamilton lab, so most broken dentures go back in your mouth the same day. How the CDCP Covers Emergency Denture Repairs The Canadian Dental Care Plan changed denture costs for many Hamilton residents. The CDCP is a federal government plan. It is designed to help eligible Canadians of all ages who have no private dental insurance. The plan covers essential dental and oral health care. Health Canada runs it, and Sun Life handles the claims. This public dental plan fills a gap in coverage for households with lower incomes. To qualify, you must be a Canadian resident, have an adjusted household income under $90,000, have no access to a private dental plan, and have filed your most recent income tax return with the Canada Revenue Agency. For patients who qualify, the CDCP pays part of the cost, and many pay nothing. CDCP Income Brackets and Co-Pays Your coverage level, and any co-payment you make, depends on your adjusted family net income. Here is how the 2026 brackets work: Under $70,000: The CDCP pays 100% of the CDCP fee. You pay no co-payment. $70,000 to $79,999: The CDCP pays 60% of the fee. You pay a 40% co-payment. $80,000 to $89,999: The CDCP pays 40% of the fee. You pay a 60% co-payment. $90,000 or more: You do not qualify for the CDCP. If your income changes, you may still… --- ### Denturist vs Dentist for Dentures: Why a Denture Specialist Gets You Better Results - **URL:** https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/denturist-vs-dentist-for-dentures/ - **Published:** 2026-04-17 - **Modified:** 2026-04-18 - **Author:** Christopher M.

Most people think a general dentist handles missing teeth the same way a denture specialist does. They do not. A denturist is a licensed denture specialist who focuses on one job: building and fitting removable dentures, including full dentures and partials for patients with remaining teeth. Battell Denture Clinic in Hamilton, Ontario has delivered Denture Solutions as a dedicated denturist practice since 1975. The difference between specialist and generalist care shows in every smile that leaves our on-site laboratory. Understanding the Difference Between a Dentist and a Denturist Many patients ask, what’s the difference between a dentist and a denturist? Both are qualified health care professionals. They simply work in different areas of oral health care. Understanding the difference helps you pick the right provider for your needs. A denturist is a regulated oral health care provider. Denturists design, build, fit, and repair removable dentures. In Ontario, they finish a multi-year diploma in denturism, pass licensing exams, and register with the College of Denturists of Ontario. Denturists focus on denture care and removable dental prosthetics. A dentist is qualified to handle a range of dental services. These include cleanings, fillings, root canals, crowns, and gum disease treatment. Dentists review your medical and dental history, examine the oral cavity, and treat dental issues in the soft and hard tissues of your mouth. A dentist may offer dentures as one of many dental treatments. Most dental care professionals send the impressions to a third-party commercial laboratory to make the denture. The dentist does not build it or control production directly. Key Differences Between a Dentist and a Denturist Denturists specialize in removable prosthetics including full dentures, partial dentures, and denture implants Dentists offer a wide range of dental services across the hard tissues of your mouth, from cavities to crowns Denturists fabricate dentures in-house; dentists typically outsource to external labs Denturists make direct, same-day adjustments; dentists often require return visits after lab turnaround Dentists and denturists both play important roles. But when you need high-quality dentures built and fitted with care, a denturist is the right choice. Why Choosing a Denturist Gets You Better Denture Results Specialized Training in Dental Prosthetics Denturists focus on one discipline: removable dental prosthetics. They study oral anatomy, denture materials, bite alignment, and prosthetic design in depth. Denturists also stay current on dental technology. They use the latest materials and techniques to produce dentures that look natural and chew well. General dentists divide their attention across dozens of dental treatments. A denturist puts that same energy into one craft. At Battell Denture Clinic, Michael Battell DD earned his Honours diploma from George Brown College. He has held a denturist license since 2006. He received the 40 Under Forty Business Achievement Award in 2016 and served on the Denturist Association of Ontario Board of Directors. This level of focus produces high-quality dentures that generalist training… --- ### Affordable Dentures Solutions At Battell in Hamilton ON - **URL:** https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/affordable-dentures-solutions-at-battell-in-hamilton-on/ - **Published:** 2026-03-24 - **Modified:** 2026-03-24 - **Author:** Christopher M.

Battell Denture Clinic at 409 Concession Street offers high-quality dentures that restore your smile at honest prices, backed by nearly 50 years of family expertise. This guide covers the cost of dentures, available types, insurance options, and why a dedicated denture specialist delivers better value for your unique needs than a general dental office. What Do Dentures Cost in Hamilton, ON? Denture pricing depends on the type selected, materials used, and the complexity of the case. Complete dentures typically range from $1,500 to $4,000. Partial dentures start around $800. Implant-secured options range from $8,000 to $25,000 depending on the number of implants required. Battell Denture Clinic offer a variety of denture options across three tiers, all built with high-quality materials to match different needs and budgets: Standard Dentures for patients prioritizing value and reliable function Precision Dentures balancing quality, natural appearance, and cost Premium Dentures for patients who want the finest craftsmanship and superior results Written cost estimates are provided at the initial consultation before any treatment begins. There are no hidden fees. The clinic also offers Medicard financing to make dentures affordable, including for families earning less or those without private dental coverage. Denture Insurance and Financing in Hamilton Most private dental insurance plans in Ontario cover denture replacement once every five years at 50% to 80% of the approved cost. Battell Denture Clinic accepts major insurance plans and handles direct billing to reduce out-of-pocket costs. The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) extends dental health coverage to eligible Canadians without private insurance. Battell Denture Clinic accepts the CDCP, making appropriate treatment accessible to more Hamilton-area residents. Patients can call the clinic directly to confirm what their plan covers before booking. Types of Affordable Dentures at Battell Denture Clinic Battell Denture Clinic provides a full range of denture options to meet different clinical needs. Modern dentures are designed for comfort and functionality, producing natural-looking dentures that support long-term oral health and help patients feel like themselves again. Complete and Immediate Dentures Full dentures are removable prosthetics ideal for patients who have lost all their teeth in the upper or lower jaw. After extractions, gums need time to heal before these conventional dentures are placed. For patients who cannot go without teeth during that period, Battell Denture Clinic provides immediate dentures placed the same day as extractions. Immediate dentures preserve facial structure and restore confidence in your smile from day one. Partial Dentures Whether complete or partial dentures are needed depends on how many teeth remain and their condition. The right type of denture fills the gaps, protects remaining teeth from shifting, and supports the lower jaw. Partial dentures preserve the shape of the mouth and slow the jaw changes that occur when teeth go missing for extended periods. Implant-Secured Dentures Implant-secured dentures attach to dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone, eliminating movement and removing the need for adhesives. Michael Battell, DD coordinates with oral surgeons and fabricates all… --- ### Who is eligible for the Canadian Dental Care Plan? - **URL:** https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/who-is-eligible-for-the-canadian-dental-care-plan/ - **Published:** 2025-11-01 - **Modified:** 2026-02-20 - **Author:** Battell Denture Clinic **Summary:** Our receptionist Trish, is asked daily: What is the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP), and can I get help with the cost of my dentures? **Content:** The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) has transformed access to dental care for Ontario residents. This federal program provides oral health care services including dentures for eligible Canadians, making quality denture care more affordable for families earning less than $90,000 annually. Understanding how denture services are covered by the CDCP can help you make informed decisions about your oral health needs. What Denture Services Does the CDCP Cover? The CDCP provides comprehensive denture coverage for eligible Ontario residents. The program includes various oral health care services and denture solutions to meet different patient needs. Complete Denture Coverage Complete dentures receive full coverage when services covered under the CDCP meet eligibility requirements. This includes both standard complete dentures and temporary dentures during the healing process. The program covers the initial diagnostic consultation, impressions, fittings, and necessary adjustments to ensure proper comfort and function. Partial Denture Benefits Partial dentures require preauthorization before treatment begins. The CDCP covers removable partial dentures that replace one or multiple missing teeth. Your denturist will submit detailed treatment plans and intraoral photographs to Sun Life for approval before starting fabrication. Additional Covered Services The CDCP covers flexible dentures, one-tooth flippers, and various maintenance services. These restorative care services include: Denture repairs and adjustments Relining and rebasing procedures Tissue conditioning treatments Routine follow-up appointments Your denture provider will determine which services could be covered based on your specific denture needs and treatment plan. Understanding CDCP Co-Payment Structure The CDCP operates on an income-based co-payment system rather than providing completely free oral health care services. Your family income determines your co-payment percentage for services covered by the CDCP. Income-Based Payment Levels Under $70,000 annually: No  No co-payment required (100% coverage of CDCP fees) $70,000 – $79,999 annually: 40% co-payment required $80,000 – $89,999 annually: 60% co-payment required Fee Schedule Considerations The CDCP uses its own fee schedule, which may be lower than standard provincial dental fee guides. This creates additional patient costs beyond co-payments. For example, if your denturist’s standard fee is $1,000 but CDCP pays $800, you pay the $200 difference plus any applicable co-payment percentage. Preauthorization Process for Denture Services Certain denture services require preauthorization before treatment begins. This approval process ensures coverage eligibility and prevents unexpected costs. Services Requiring Preauthorization Partial dentures, complete dentures with soft liners, and immediate dentures require preauthorization. Your denturist submits treatment plans, photographs, and clinical documentation to Sun Life for review. Approval Timeline Preauthorization decisions typically take 4-8 weeks due to high demand. Battell Denture Clinic contacts patients immediately upon receiving approval to schedule treatment appointments. Emergency denture repairs rarely require preauthorization. Documentation Requirements Preauthorization submissions include clinical photographs, treatment rationales, and patient health histories. Complete documentation improves approval chances and reduces processing delays. Frequency Limitations and Coverage Periods The CDCP establishes frequency limitations for denture services, similar to private insurance plans. These limitations prevent excessive utilization while ensuring necessary care access. Denture Replacement Schedules New complete or partial dentures are covered every 5-8 years depending on the specific service.

When teeth are missing, the jawbone is no longer stimulated and gradually shrinks (resorbs). **Content:** This can cause dentures to loosen, affect how your upper and lower jaws align, and put strain on your jaw joints. Loose dentures may also reduce your ability to chew properly, which can impact digestion and overall health. A reline may be needed if your gums have changed due to weight loss, extractions, bone loss, aging, or illness. The good news is that dentures don’t always need to be replaced. A reline—usually completed the same day—adds new material to the fitting surface of your denture, improving comfort and fit. Relining affects only the fit, not the appearance or wear of the denture teeth. Contact Battell Denture Clinic to book your free consultation and find out if a denture reline is the right solution for you. --- ### The Loose Lower Denture Solution - **URL:** https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/the-loose-lower-denture-solution/ - **Published:** 2025-10-27 - **Modified:** 2026-02-20 - **Author:** Battell Denture Clinic **Summary:** If your lower denture never seems as secure as your upper denture, you are not alone. Many things complicate the fit of a lower denture and it is a common... **Content:** Compared to an upper denture a lower denture does not have the roof of the mouth (palate) for surface area support and typically has a smaller, thinner ridge as a foundation. Muscle interference such as the tongue, the floor of the mouth, the lips and cheeks want to lift the denture off of the ridge that supports it. Many solutions are available to aid in the fit of a lower denture. Some denture wearers use denture adhesive to help with fit, however this is usually messy, requires multiple applications throughout the day and may be ingested as saliva and fluids wash it away.   One excellent long-term solution to keep your denture in place is dental implants. Dental implants increase comfort, stability and confidence, enabling you to chew more effectively by securing the lower denture in place. Dental implants also prevent bone loss in the areas they are placed by stimulating the bone and maintaining the facial structure. Chewing power increases by approximately 30% with just two implants (the minimum requirement to retain a lower denture) and allows for harder, more nutritious foods to be chewed effectively, aiding in digestion and having a positive impact on your overall health.  By securing a lower denture in place with dental implants, it will be less likely to dislodge during chewing, laughing, yawning or other facial movements and give you more confidence with your dentures in social situations. The most common thing we hear from denture patients who have had dental implants placed is that “it is the best thing” they’ve ever done. Our free consultation gives you the insight you need to make an informed decision on the best option for you. At Battell Denture Clinic, patients are consulted with their specific denture needs and lifestyle in mind.

Or, perhaps you’ve had dentures for a while and are looking for a brush up on the best... **Content:** No different than your natural teeth, daily denture care and cleaning is essential for continued oral health and denture integrity. We’ve curated a list of daily duties to keep your dentures bright and white: Rinse and brush your denture(s) after every meal. When brushing your dentures, use a denture brush, warm water and a denture cleaning paste or mild detergent. Do not use toothpaste on your denture because it’s abrasive and can dull the shine of your denture. Give some extra love to the spaces between the ‘teeth’ and the areas that come in direct contact with your gums. Avoid breakage by placing a towel on your counter or sink so in case you drop your denture during cleaning! Pro tip: When brushing your lower denture, be sure to hold it in the middle. Accidentally squeezing both sides together can cause breakage! Gently brush your gums, use a tongue scraper to remove debris and clean the roof of your mouth with a moistened super soft toothbrush. This will help stimulate blood circulation, tone gum tissue and promote healing. Rinsing your mouth with mouthwash periodically will help minimize bacteria and help to keep your breath nice and fresh. Your denture should be removed daily and placed with a covered container with a denture soaking cleanser to kill bacteria. This not only will keep your denture clean, but will give the supporting tissues in your mouth a chance to rest. Do not sleep with your dentures in. When your denture is not being worn and is not in a soaking cleanser, it should be stored in a covered container filled with water to prevent drying out and possible dimension changes of the denture base materials. When you’re ready to wear your denture again, we recommend thoroughly rinsing it in warm water before putting it back in your mouth.  Daily cleaning of your dentures is a necessary practice to prevent plaque and tartar build up, as well as avoiding staining, bad breath and infections and irritations. A number of factors can lead to denture staining, including dry mouth from medications as well as certain foods and beverages such as red wine, berries, coffee, tea, curries and more. Rinsing your mouth and dentures following meals will help to reduce staining and build-up on your dentures. Stick with a routine of the above steps and make sure you use an approved cleaning solution and your dentures will stay white and bright for the long haul!  Don’t forget, Battell Denture Clinic offers annual check-up appointments and one of the key things we will be assessing is denture integrity to make sure your dentures are fitting right and looking good. Questions about cleaning best practices or need to schedule a professional denture cleaning?

What Do I Do? - **URL:** https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/my-denture-is-damaged-what-do-i-do/ - **Published:** 2025-07-06 - **Modified:** 2026-02-20 - **Author:** Battell Denture Clinic **Summary:** Before you read any further - the first thing to know is - under NO circumstances should you break out the crazy glue if you have a cracked denture! **Content:** A common question we hear over the phone and please, please, please, do not put carcinogenic chemicals onto your denture appliance that goes in your mouth! Now that we’ve got that out of the way… Cracked dentures happen for a variety of reasons. For example, they may have been dropped, they could be worn, old and brittle, have bite problems, be too thin, or otherwise be requiring adjustment or replacement.  We often get asked when a denture is cracked, “can it be fixed?” The short answer is usually “yes”. An unrepaired denture crack can continue to get larger and your denture may eventually break in two. Broken dentures have compromised fit and function and usually sharp edges that can cause soreness and trauma to your mouth that if left untreated may lead to serious health concerns. Broken dentures don’t always need replacement and they can often be repaired the same day. Glue should never be used on dentures because it is not suitable for the mouth and may have adverse health effects. However, if your denture requires a repair, it may indicate underlying problems. Battell Denture Clinic can assess your mouth and dentures at a free consultation and provide treatment options based on this assessment. Is it time to schedule your annual denture check up? Maybe you think a Reline, Rebase or Repair appointment might be in order? Not sure where to start?

Expect that adjustments will need to be made as the dentures settle into place. Patience and perseverance are key ingredients to a successful outcome. Here are some tips to help you adjust to your new dentures: 1. Eat softer foods in smaller bites to avoid sore spots and gradually introduce harder textured foods as you become more accustomed to your new teeth. Foods such as yogurt, eggs, and fish are great because they are soft and loaded with protein which is a building block for healing. 2. Eat slowly and use both sides of your mouth. By doing this you can avoid biting your tongue and cheeks and prevent the dentures from tipping. 3. Talk a lot, read aloud, and sing along to music. Sometimes speaking with your new dentures may be difficult, so practice can help. By speaking a little slower, reading aloud and singing, it may help you get used to forming certain words more easily. Practice speaking in front of a mirror, count to ten aloud, and use words with “f” and “s” sounds as these sounds prove to be the most difficult for new denture wearers. 4. Saliva will likely increase temporarily when you have new dentures. Be patient! As your mouth becomes accustomed to the dentures, the saliva will decrease. 5. Gently bite down and swallow if your dentures come loose. Sometimes yawning, laughing or coughing can cause dentures to slip or dislodge. By gently biting down and swallowing, you can reseat the dentures. However, if the problem continues, book an appointment with your Denturist or denture provider to see if the problem can be remedied. 6. Rinse with salt water for sore spots. Your mouth may be sore as dentures settle in against the soft tissues of your mouth. Salt promotes healing and does not irritate oral tissues. Everyone heals differently so continue to rinse 3-5 times a day with a mild salt water solution (¼ to ½ teaspoon of salt in a cup of warm water). If a sore spot does not go away within 2-3 days… 7. See your Denturist or denture provider to have the dentures adjusted as required for any persistent irritation or soreness that salt water rinsing is not helping with. Attend scheduled follow-up appointments to ensure your dentures are working the best they can for you. --- ### Adding Comfort to your Dentures with Soft Liners - **URL:** https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/adding-comfort-to-your-dentures-with-soft-liners/ - **Published:** 2025-07-06 - **Modified:** 2026-02-20 - **Author:** Battell Denture Clinic **Summary:** Many denture wearers are quite comfortable with the hard denture base of a typical denture but some denture wearers have discomfort and the inability to eat even soft foods. **Content:** Persistent denture discomfort can often be attributed to problems with the distribution of bite forces applied to the areas where natural teeth used to exist called the residual ridge. This residual ridge is the bone and soft tissue where the denture rests. Residual ridge shrinking (resorption) and irregularities can affect bite forces, placing stress on unsupportive bony areas and irritating the soft tissue. Denture soft liners are bonded to the denture base and cushion these biting forces, acting as a shock absorber to reduce the stresses placed on the residual ridge, protect delicate gum tissue, and increase overall comfort.  The fit of a denture can also be improved because soft liners may be able to engage bony areas of the mouth where a hard denture base might irritate the tissues. With improved fit and comfort, a denture wearer is able to chew more easily. This can have a positive impact on overall health by allowing more varied and harder foods with improved nutrition to be eaten, rather than managing a limited diet caused by difficulty chewing and discomfort. Do you suffer from any of the following? Flat or greatly reduced jawbone where your denture sits, causing your denture to fit loose? Uneven, sharp or jagged jawbone? Chronic sore spots on the soft tissue or gum inflammation?  Difficulty chewing with your dentures? If this sounds like you, book a consultation with Battell Denture Clinic. Your dentures should always fit snugly and comfortably for efficient chewing and optimal comfort. We’ll assess the fit and function of your denture and make a plan, which might very well include soft liners, to get you smiling (and chewing) again! --- ## Pages ### Contact - **URL:** https://www.battelldentureclinic.com/contact/ - **Published:** 2026-01-21 - **Modified:** 2026-02-20 - **Author:** noud **Summary:** Contact us today for a free no-obligation consultationRenew your smile and restore your confidence at Battell Denture Clinic.

The Battell Denture Clinic Team Michael Battell, BA (Hons), DD, Owner I’m Michael Battell, owner of Battell Denture Clinic, proud Hamilton resident, and second-generation Denturist. I am honoured to carry on the tradition my late father, Denturist Ken Battell, began in 1975. For 50 years, our family practice has been serving the incredible Hamilton community from our office at 409 Concession Street. As a child, I remember watching my father skillfully set teeth for dentures while gently guiding new denture wearers through the process. At the time, I didn’t fully understand the impact he was making on people’s lives—but I knew I wanted to be just like him. In many ways, you could say I was born to be a Denturist. I bring enthusiasm, attention to detail, and a deep commitment to exceptional, compassionate care. I have proudly served as 2nd Vice President on the Denturist Association of Ontario’s (DAO) Board of Directors and remain an active supporter of the DAO and the profession. Since becoming licensed with the College of Denturists in 2006, I have continued to expand my knowledge by regularly attending seminars and professional development opportunities. Outside the clinic, my greatest happiness comes from my love, my family, my friends, my dog, theatre, music, concerts, and travel. I love smiling, laughing, sharing kindness, and bringing smiles to those around me.

All Dentures Complete Dentures Complete dentures restore a full set of teeth when all natural teeth have been lost in the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. Complete dentures are custom made based on models of your mouth and can be fully removable, implant secured, or fixed-removable. Learn more Implant-Secured Dentures Supported by implants, these dentures provide a firm and stable restoration that reduces movement and enhances fit, facial support, speech, comfort, and chewing ability—while also helping to slow bone loss at the implant sites. Learn more Partial Dentures A partial denture replaces one or more missing natural teeth and is customized to a patient’s individual needs. Removable partial dentures restore a person’s natural appearance and greatly improve the ability to chew and speak clearly. Partial dentures are custom made and can be fully removable, or implant secured. Learn more Immediate Dentures Immediate dentures are made in advance and placed the same day your teeth are removed. The advantage is that you are never without teeth during the healing process, which can take several months. As your gums and jawbone heal and change shape, immediate dentures may need to be adjusted, relined, or replaced to maintain proper fit, function, and appearance. Learn more Relines, Additions and Repairs Battell Denture Clinic can offer same day service for relines to address fit, repairs to broken dentures, and additions of more teeth and/or clasps to existing partial dentures, so we minimize the amount of time you are without your dentures. Learn more Annual Check-ups To maintain the best comfort, chewing efficiency, and appearance from your dentures, we recommend an annual check-up at Battell Denture Clinic. These visits allow us to assess the condition of your dentures, examine your mouth, detect potential issues early, and help you avoid unnecessary costs or complications in the future.

Seeing that positive impact is the greatest reward of being a Denturist." **— Michael Battell, DD, Battell Denture Clinic** ### Strategic FAQ **Q: How long does it take to get new dentures at Battell Denture Clinic?** A: Most new dentures take about 4–5 weeks, with roughly one appointment per week — impressions, bite registration, try-in, and final insert — so each stage can fine-tune fit, comfort, and appearance. Because Battell Denture Clinic has an on-site laboratory in Hamilton, rush cases and same-day adjustments are often available. **Q: What is the difference between complete and partial dentures?** A: Complete dentures replace all the teeth in one arch (upper or lower), while partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth and preserve the natural teeth you still have, which helps maintain jaw alignment. Battell Denture Clinic custom-makes both, and either can be made removable or implant-secured. **Q: Does Battell Denture Clinic offer same-day denture repairs and relines?** A: Yes. Thanks to its on-site lab in Hamilton, Battell Denture Clinic can often complete denture repairs, relines, and tooth or clasp additions the same day, minimizing the time you are without your denture. If a denture breaks, stop wearing it, avoid super glue (which damages acrylic and can irritate tissue), and contact the clinic right away. **Q: How often should dentures be replaced or relined?** A: Dentures are typically replaced every 5–7 years as gums and bone reshape and materials wear, and relines are generally recommended every 2–3 years to refresh the internal fit. Regular check-ups at Battell Denture Clinic help maintain comfort, chewing efficiency, and appearance over time. **Q: How should I care for my dentures?** A: Brush daily with a denture brush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser (never regular toothpaste, which is too abrasive), soak overnight in denture solution and rinse before inserting, and gently brush your gums and tongue. Battell Denture Clinic can also professionally clean and polish dentures in about 15 minutes, often while you wait. **Q: Are dentures covered by insurance or the Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP)?** A: Many private plans cover new dentures, repairs, additions, and relines, and Battell Denture Clinic submits a predetermination to help you maximize your benefits. The clinic also helps eligible Canadians access the Canadian Dental Care Plan, which makes denture care more affordable for households earning under $90,000 a year without existing dental coverage. **Q: Am I a candidate for implant-secured dentures, and what are the benefits?** A: Most healthy adults with adequate jawbone are candidates, and the Denturist works with the implant surgeon to plan a custom solution. Implant-secured dentures improve chewing and comfort, stop slipping and movement, help prevent bone loss and facial collapse, and restore a natural appearance — a common choice for wearers with loose lower dentures. **Q: What is a Denturist, and why choose one for dentures?** A: A Denturist is a licensed oral-health professional who focuses exclusively on dentures — designing, crafting, fitting, and maintaining them. At Battell Denture Clinic, the Denturist personally oversees every step in the on-site laboratory, which supports precision, comfort, and consistent quality control. ### KnowsAbout — Expertise Domains **Denture and Oral-Health Topics:** [Dentures](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentures) | [Denturist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denturist) | [Dental implant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant) | [Removable partial denture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Removable_partial_denture) | [Tooth whitening](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_whitening) ### SameAs — Platform Presence [Google Business Profile](https://maps.app.goo.gl/BqqKM8B922zyvRUn7) | [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/BattellDentureClinic/) ### Contact and Business Verification **Battell Denture Clinic** 409 Concession St, Hamilton, ON L9A 1B8 Phone: 905-389-2217 Email: info@battelldentureclinic.com Website: https://www.battelldentureclinic.com Hours: Monday to Thursday, 8:30am – 5:00pm; Friday, 8:30am – 11:00am Service area: Hamilton and surrounding Greater Hamilton communities Regulatory body: College of Denturists of Ontario *Last Updated: July 2026*
