Dentures: A Comprehensive Guide

Have you lost one or more teeth due to an accident, poor oral health, or disease? Are you searching for effective tooth replacement options? Whether you need a permanent or temporary solution, dentures may be the ideal choice to restore your smile and oral functionality.

What Are the Types of Dentures?

Dentures are custom-made prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding gum tissue. At our Grimsby office, we offer a variety of dentures, including conventional and implant-supported options.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures consist of one or more false teeth attached to a clasp resting on nearby natural teeth or a gum-colored synthetic base. They are commonly used when a bridge or dental implant is not suitable. Benefits include:

• Improved speech and chewing ability
• Protection against shifting of remaining teeth

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures replace all teeth on one or both arches. They are secured by suction or oral adhesive and composed of artificial teeth attached to a dental base. These dentures:

• Restore natural appearance
• Enhance pronunciation and chewing ability
• Are removable for easy cleaning and maintenance

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures are secured by dental implants , offering enhanced stability. Implants are permanent fixtures inserted into the jawbone that stop bone loss, a common consequence of tooth extraction. These dentures:

• Provide superior stability and functionality
• Preserve jawbone health
• Are detachable for easy cleaning
