What are the three different types of dentures available at Harvest Hills Dental Care?

East Gwillimbury, Ontario, patients who visit our office to learn about dentures will often be surprised that there are several options to choose from. This includes:

• Partial dentures. Our team describes partial dentures as dental appliances created with metal and acrylic frames. These dentures are made to replace one or more teeth within the dental arch using false teeth called pontics. The denture is created and held in place by clasps that snap onto natural teeth.
• Full dentures. Another choice for patients is full dentures. Full dentures are used when patients have lost all the teeth in the dental arch. These dentures are made of plastic and are held in their place with natural suction, over-the-counter denture adhesive, or dental implants.
• Implant-supported dentures. For patients looking for a long-lasting solution for tooth loss, implant-supported dentures can be a good option. These dentures are made of acrylic and are attached to dental implants that are placed along the dental arch. This option is often more stable than traditional full dentures and can provide a more comfortable experience for patients. If you need full dentures, it may be worth asking your dentist about implant-supported dentures.

Our team also offers dental implants and bridges as tooth replacement options and can help you decide which ones suit your unique needs.
