Full & Partial Dentures in Downtown Toronto

At Fort York Dentist, we understand that missing teeth can impact your confidence and oral health. Dentures offer an excellent solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring your smile. Dentures are custom-made appliances designed to replace missing teeth and support the surrounding tissues. They come in two main types: full dentures and partial dentures, depending on the extent of tooth loss.

Ordinary dentures are removable appliances crafted to replace missing teeth and restore both function and appearance. They are made from high-quality materials, including acrylic resin and sometimes metal, to mimic the look of natural teeth and gums. Here’s how they work:

• Full Dentures: These are used when all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw are missing. Full dentures are designed to cover the entire arch of the gums and are held in place by suction and the natural contours of your mouth.
• Partial Dentures: These are used when only a few teeth are missing. Partial dentures are attached to a metal framework that fits around your remaining natural teeth, which helps hold the denture securely in place.

• Improved Aesthetics: Dentures can greatly enhance your smile by filling in gaps and restoring the natural appearance of your teeth.
• Restored Functionality: With dentures, you can regain your ability to chew and speak comfortably, which can improve your overall quality of life.
• Cost-Effective: Dentures are generally more affordable than other options like dental implants, making them a practical choice for many people.
• Adjustability: Dentures can be adjusted or relined over time to accommodate changes in your mouth, ensuring a comfortable fit.

For those seeking a more permanent and stable solution, implant-supported dentures offer an advanced alternative. Unlike ordinary dentures, which rely on suction and adhesives to stay in place, implant-supported dentures are anchored securely to dental implants placed in the jawbone.

• Enhanced Stability: Implant-supported dentures are anchored by dental implants, providing a secure fit that eliminates the movement or slipping often associated with traditional dentures. This means you can eat, talk, and laugh with confidence.
• Improved Chewing Function: The stability provided by implants allows you to enjoy a wider range of foods without worrying about your dentures shifting or becoming uncomfortable.
• Preserved Bone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, helping to prevent bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss. This maintains the structure of your jaw and supports your facial appearance.
• Natural Feel and Appearance: Implant-supported dentures closely mimic the look and feel of natural teeth. The prosthetics are custom-made to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth and gums.
• Durability: Implants and their attached dentures are highly durable and can last many years with proper care. This makes them a long-term investment in your oral health.

1. Consultation: During your initial visit, we’ll assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if you’re a suitable candidate for implant-supported dentures.
2. Implant Placement: Dental implants are surgically placed into your jawbone. This procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia and requires a healing period of a few months.
3. Attachment of Dentures: Once the implants have integrated with the bone, custom dentures are attached to the implants. We’ll ensure they fit perfectly and provide the functionality you need.
4. Follow-Up: Regular check-ups are essential to monitor the health of your implants and the fit of your dentures.
