Types of Dentures

Whether you need dentures to replace one missing tooth, a row of teeth or a whole jaw, your dentist can help you decide on the right option for you.

• Full Dentures

  Your dentist will use full dentures, commonly referred to as false teeth or complete dentures, if you are missing a whole jaw of teeth.

  You can have them fitted for your upper or lower gums, and they are held in place by suction and/or with the help of an oral adhesive.

  Full dentures can be removed for cleaning and sleeping.

• Partial Dentures

  Your dentist will use partial dentures if you are missing more than a few teeth or if your surrounding teeth are not strong enough to support a dental bridge.

  Partial dentures are made up of one or more artificial teeth held in place by clasps that fit onto your natural teeth or a tooth replacement like a dental crown.

  They can be removed for cleaning and sleeping.

• Implant-Supported Dentures

  If there is not enough gum tissue to support full dentures, dental implants may be used to help stabilize the dentures for a secure fit.

Dentures in Ridgetown: The Benefits

When you lose all of your teeth, your facial muscles can sag, making your look older. Dentures can help to fill out the appearance of your profile and your face. They can also be made to quite closely resemble your natural teeth, so your appearance will minimally change. 

Filling a gap caused by missing teeth is crucial to your long-term oral health. By fitting your for dentures, your dentist will help to protect your remaining teeth from shifting, which can lead to serious issues such as gum disease.
