Restore Your Smile With Full & Partial Dentures

Full and partial dentures are two types of dental prosthetics that can replace missing teeth. At Kirkland Lake Dental Office in Kirkland Lake, our experienced dental professional can help determine if full or partial dentures are right for you.

What are full and partial dentures?

Full dentures are replacement teeth used when natural teeth are missing in an entire arch. They’re removable for cleaning and held in place by suction or a special denture adhesive. Partial dentures are used when a few adjacent teeth are missing or when nearby teeth cannot support a bridge. The denture fits securely by clasps that attach to your existing teeth. Just like full dentures, partial dentures are easily removable for cleaning.

What is involved in getting full and partial dentures?

It is a straightforward process that can be completed in two steps. First, impressions of your gums and jaw will be taken to create a custom denture that securely fits your mouth. When the denture is ready, it will be placed in your mouth and adjusted as necessary for comfort and fit.

What are the benefits of full and partial dentures?

Full and partial dentures can help restore your ability to chew and speak correctly and improve your appearance by giving you a natural-looking smile. They help support sagging facial features and that sunken appearance common when teeth are missing. They require little maintenance and, with proper care, can last for seven to ten years.

Who should consider full and partial dentures?

If you have lost one or more teeth due to decay, trauma, age, or any other reason, you may be a good candidate for full and partial dentures. They are also a great option if you would like to improve the aesthetics of your smile without undergoing more invasive treatments.
