Obtain A Healthy & Beautiful Set Of Teeth With Dentures in Nanaimo

You deserve to smile with pride, whether looking in the mirror, attending a gathering, or laughing with friends. Dentures are removable teeth replacement prosthetics that can replace absent teeth and restore smile aesthetics and functionality. When it comes to falling in love with your smile again or for the first time, dentures may just be the restoration to offer you that!

What Are Dentures And What Can They Offer?

There are two types of dentures that can replace lost teeth– partial and complete.

• Partial Dentures: “Partials” or partial dentures may be used to substitute several absent teeth or when nearby teeth are not strong enough to hold a dental bridge. These dentures are designed using one or more prosthetic teeth and held in place by clasps that fasten to surrounding natural teeth. You can remove your partial denture yourself at night and for cleaning.
• Complete Dentures: These dentures, also referred to as "full dentures," are utilized in situations where you are missing all of your natural teeth. Since complete dentures are secured in place by suction, they can be removed. It may take some time to get used to them, and they may initially cause soreness. Immediate and conventional dentures are the two categories of complete dentures.
  • Immediate: This detachable denture is placed on the day the remaining teeth are extracted. During your initial appointment, our dentist will measure and create models of your jaw. Although you don't have to go without teeth while your jaw heals, you might need to have the denture remade or relined.
  • Conventional: After the tissues have healed and the remaining teeth have been extracted, which could take several months, this complete removable denture is created and placed in your mouth.

In addition to restoring the ability to speak and chew, dentures can prevent your facial muscles from sagging and avoid the sunken look that frequently follows tooth loss!

Who Should Consider This Restoration?

Dentures may be helpful for patients who have lost teeth because of severe decay, periodontal disease, trauma, or aging. They may also be suitable for people who wish to make their smile look more visually appealing, healthy, and complete.
