Types of Dentures Near You
Our team offers a few different denture designs so you can choose the one that best fits your lifestyle. Based on our findings during your initial consultation, we may recommend our full-, partial-, or implant-retained dentures for your unique tooth loss situation.
Full Dentures
These features include specially designed, gum-coloured acrylic bases that harness the power of natural suction and denture adhesive to keep your prosthetic secure in your mouth. This makes eating and speaking easy again, and we typically recommend this design for patients who are missing an entire arch of teeth.
They also support your facial structure and prevent you from looking ‘sunken’ due to missing teeth. Your dentures are custom-designed to match your bite, smile line, and face to ensure a natural and confident look.
Partial Dentures
While partials also feature a gum-coloured acrylic base, they’re designed differently. Their base is made to fit like a puzzle piece between your existing teeth to fill the various gaps along your arch. That way, you can enjoy a completed row of teeth.
Partial dentures help your bite function correctly again by filling in several gaps along your arch, which allows you to chew more effectively and smile without worrying. It’s a low-cost and minimally invasive option that protects your other teeth from shifting, which helps preserve your remaining teeth.
Dental Implant-Retained Dentures
For patients who are looking for a more permanent and stable restoration, we can also combine full or partial dentures with dental implants. These are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into your jaw to offer your prosthetic a more secure and stronger base.
Implants help stimulate bone tissue and preserve jawbone health. Thus, the jawbone does not deteriorate in case of tooth loss. Not only are they a cosmetic solution, but it is also a way to protect your oral health for years to come.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures in Vancouver offer a variety of benefits, including:

- Support for your facial muscles
- Preservation of facial structure
- Improved speaking and eating abilities
- Maintain a more nutritious diet
- Removable for easy cleaning

Dentures FAQs
Are full dentures more comfortable than partial?
Comfort is determined by fit and personal preference. Full dentures fit over the whole arch, whereas partial dentures in Vancouver are fitted around remaining teeth, usually feeling more secure.
Can you get dental implants if you have full dentures?
Yes, dental implants can help to stabilize complete dentures. Conventional dentures are less stable and useful than implant-supported dentures.
Can you have full upper dentures without the palate?
Yes, implant-supported dentures can be made without covering the palate. This type enhances comfort and taste sensation while still offering a secure fit.
Is it better to get full dentures or partials?
It will depend on your mouth and how much tooth structure needs to be replaced. Full dentures in Vancouver would be best if you have no teeth, and partials if you have some of your own teeth still in place.
