Dentures in Oshawa
What are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made artificial tooth replacements designed to restore both function and appearance for patients with missing teeth. They allow you to maintain your facial profile, eat comfortably, and speak clearly. Dentures can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or an entire arch, depending on your needs.
Replacing missing teeth is vital for oral health and quality of life. Missing teeth can cause shifting of nearby teeth, jawbone deterioration, and problems with chewing and speaking. Over time, these issues may alter facial structure, creating a sunken look.
If you've experienced tooth loss, dentures can be an affordable, effective solution. Modern dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking. Our dental team will help you find the best type and fit for your needs and budget.
Types of Dentures
Whether you're replacing a single missing tooth, a series of teeth, or an entire set, your dentist can guide you in choosing the best option for your needs. The types of dentures that we offer at North Oshawa Dental.
-
Full Dentures
If all of your natural teeth are missing, your dentist will use full dentures, which are also known as false teeth or complete dentures.
You can have them fitted for your upper and/or lower gums, and they are held in place by suction and/or with the help of an oral adhesive.
Full dentures can be taken out for cleaning and during sleep.
-
Partial Dentures
Your dentist may recommend partial dentures if you are missing one or more teeth. Partial dentures can be a great choice if you're looking for a removable solution or if your neighbouring teeth aren't strong enough to hold a dental bridge. It's a flexible option that can help restore your smile and improve functionality.
Partial dentures are made up of one or more artificial teeth held in place by fitting on/around your natural teeth.
They can be easily taken out for cleaning, and when you want to sleep.

Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures closely resemble natural teeth in appearance and feel, providing greater comfort and stability than traditional dentures due to their secure fit. They are designed to be durable and help you maintain your ability to bite and chew.
Unlike regular full or partial dentures, some types of implant-supported dentures may only be removed by your dentist.
Why Dentures May Be Used
If you lose several or all of your teeth, facial muscles can sag, making you look older. Dentures can help fill out the appearance of your face and profile. They can be made to closely resemble your natural teeth so that your appearance does not change much.
Filling gaps caused by missing teeth is also essential for your long-term oral health. By fitting you for dentures, your dentist helps protect your remaining teeth from shifting, which can lead to more serious issues like gum disease. Dentures also make it easier to eat properly and speak clearly.
