What are Dentures?
Dentures have been around since 700 BCE. They were originally made of animal teeth, and while they were effective, they don’t sound like something you’d want in your mouth. These days, dentures are made from a combination of acrylic and metal. They’re more appealing and last a whole lot longer. These “false teeth” are in use by thousands of Canadians. The dentists and support staff at The Teal Umbrella are proud to serve the entire family. We offer restorative services for people of all ages, and those services include providing our patients with full and partial dentures. Dentures are most often required by elderly people, but they can also be used by younger patients when they are missing teeth. The Teal Umbrella is a great place to get dentures in Ottawa. Dentures have recently become eclipsed by the availability and effectiveness of dental implants. Dental implants are often a better long-term solution because they are stronger and feel more like real teeth. However, many patients enjoy having the ability to remove their dentures. Furthermore, dentures cost significantly less than dental implants.
Complete Dentures
Full dentures are a comprehensive solution designed to replace all of the teeth on either the top or bottom of the mouth. They are ideal for patients who have lost all their teeth and are looking for a complete, natural-looking set of teeth to restore both function and appearance. Full dentures sit securely over the gums, providing the support necessary for activities like eating, speaking, and smiling with confidence.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are a removable alternative to a dental bridge. They are recommended when one or several teeth have been lost, but the rest of the patient’s natural teeth are healthy. Like a bridge, they consist of an artificial tooth or artificial teeth that attach to other teeth, thus forming a complete row of pearly whites. Unlike a bridge, they don’t require crowns to be placed on the teeth on either side. Instead, they attach to the patient’s natural teeth with metal clasps. Because they are attached by clasps, they are removable.
Implant Supported Dentures
Both complete and partial dentures can be anchored to dental implants, providing an added level of stability and comfort. Traditional dentures, while functional, can sometimes shift or feel loose during eating or speaking. By securing them to dental implants, which are placed directly into the jawbone, dentures are held firmly in place, preventing discomfort and reducing the risk of slipping. This innovation offers a more natural and secure fit, allowing patients to enjoy their favorite foods, speak confidently, and smile without worry.
Dental implant-supported dentures not only improve stability but also promote better oral health. When dentures are anchored to implants, the implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that can occur when teeth are missing. This helps maintain facial structure and prevents the sunken appearance that can sometimes accompany tooth loss. Additionally, implant-supported dentures do not require the use of adhesives, providing a more convenient and hassle-free experience.
