Meet Kent Roberts.
Kent’s father was a denturist. Kent’s brother is a denturist. Kent trained his two nephews, who are denturists too.
He started working at his father’s clinic at the age of twelve, during summer holidays, and went straight into the Denturist program at The Northern Alberta Institute of Technology at eighteen, graduating in 1995. Licensed as a Denturist since 1997, he ran his own clinic in Saskatoon for nine years before heading west.
With this experience Kent is known for his quality workmanship and high standards. “We like to treat our patients at Burnside Denture Clinic just like our own family and we make sure each of them feels relaxed, at ease and at home.”

Living with your dentures.
“If your dentures hurt you, please come back and see me.” Kent, in his care notes
What are my dentures made of?
The most common denture base material is a special formed acrylic plastic. Into this are set the artificial teeth of the selected size, shape and colour to conform with your personal characteristics.
How long do my dentures last?
Because changes occur in both the bone structure and the soft tissues of your mouth, your dentures are not permanent. Dentures need alterations, relining and eventually, replacing. New dentures are usually relined after two to three years. We recall our patients every two years to check out their “Denture Health.”
How should I clean my dentures?
Ordinary toothpaste is abrasive and can wear away dentures. Brush your dentures with a soft toothbrush. Do not use bleach on dentures as it will weaken the teeth. An excellent way to clean your dentures safely and effectively is with a soak with an effervescent tablet. Then use Sunlight dish washing detergent.
The first days with new dentures
When eating start with soft foods: pasta, fish, casseroles, stews and soft vegetables. Take in small amounts and chew slowly. Bite the food at the corners of the mouth, not at the front. Your speech will also sound different, but it will return to normal as you become more used to the feel of your new dentures. Remove them before going to bed, as this gives the mouth a chance to rest.
What is TMD, and what helps?
If you experience tender or sore jaw muscles, difficulty in opening or closing your mouth, frequent headaches or a clicking or grinding noise when chewing or yawning, you may have TMD. It is more common in denture wearers than you think. We can correct the bite, improve the extensions and fit of the denture borders, or make a bite splint. You can relax, avoid clenching and grinding, eat softer food and apply a warm compress. Remember: lips together, teeth apart. And call us!
What do I do after extractions?
Bite on the gauze for about one hour and stay upright. Leave the socket undisturbed for the next four days: no straws, no toothpicks. No alcohol for the next week, and avoid smoking. Rinse gently six to eight times a day with one teaspoon of salt in an eight ounce glass of warm water. For swelling, an ice pack on your face, 20 minutes on, 20 minutes off.
