At Market Mall Dental Care, our dental care team in Calgary provides dentures to help restore areas where teeth are missing, along with surrounding gums when appropriate.
Dentures are artificial replacements designed to take the place of missing teeth and help maintain oral function and appearance. They are suitable for patients missing an individual tooth, several teeth, or a full arch.
Replacing missing teeth supports oral well-being and may help you carry out daily functions like chewing and talking. Dentures are a possible treatment for people with multiple or all missing natural teeth and can often present an accessible solution relative to their needs.
Your dental provider can work with you to choose the appropriate type of denture, whether you require coverage for one tooth, a segment of teeth, or a full dental arch.
If you have lost all natural teeth, your clinician may suggest complete dentures. Sometimes known as conventional dentures, these appliances restore each arch where teeth are absent.
They are custom-fitted for upper and/or lower gums and can be kept in place with natural suction or by using designated dental adhesive if required.
Complete dentures should be removed for hygiene routine and before sleep.
Your dentist may discuss partial denture options if you retain some of your teeth. Partial dentures may serve individuals opting for a removable restoration or where nearby teeth are not suited for supporting a bridge.
Partial dentures use a combination of false teeth and structural components designed to align with remaining natural teeth.
They are intended for removal to allow for maintenance and sleeping practices.
Certain patients may prefer implant-retained dentures for enhanced stability. These dentures usually provide a secure fit thanks to their placement on dental implants, and they are constructed to replicate natural teeth in function and restoration of chewing ability.
While many dentures can be taken out at home, implant-retained dentures sometimes require removal in a dental office depending on their final placement technique.
When multiple teeth are missing, the natural contours of the face may change over time. Appropriate use of dentures may assist in maintaining your facial appearance. Denture design is intended to match previous teeth to help keep your established look consistent.
Addressing tooth loss can also help with maintaining the long-term integrity of other teeth. Providing treatment gaps with dentures may decrease risk factors for shifting teeth or additional oral concerns. In addition to supporting eating and speaking comfortably, dentures offer key assistance in promoting continued oral function.
