Smile with confidence in dentures from Mississauga clinic

Your teeth do more than chew. They allow you to communicate clearly through speech and expressions. They also play an important role in your overall appearance. If you are missing teeth, have no natural teeth, or need extractions, Dr. Jameela Jifri and her dental team in Mississauga can help, with a variety of options in dentures.

Types of dentures available through Huron Dental Centre

Partial denture – This prosthetic replaces one or multiple missing teeth in an arch, either upper or lower. A partial denture clips to existing teeth for stability and is removable for easy cleaning. This is an alternative to a dental bridge or implants.
Single denture – This unit replaces all teeth in one arch. The base is usually constructed of pink acrylic to match gum tissue, with teeth made of acrylic resin or other strong dental materials. A single denture relies on secure fit and natural suction to stay in place.
Complete dentures – This is a full set of upper and lower arches of teeth, designed to work together. As with a single upper denture, the top plate generally covers the roof of the mouth for improved stability.
Immediate dentures – In certain situations, dentures are designed in advance and inserted the day teeth are extracted. These dentures shield the mouth as it heals and allow you to avoid going without teeth during the recovery period. When swelling subsides and mouth shape stabilizes, immediate dentures must be relined to modify fit, or replaced.
Implant retained denture – This is a whole arch of teeth, anchored with as few as four dental implants for an incredibly secure, comfortable fit. The denture has attachment points that snap over abutments on the implants. An implant-supported denture is the most economical way to achieve the greatest stability of replacement teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dentures

What are full dentures?

Full dentures are removable dental appliances specifically designed to replace all missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Our team at Huron Dental Centre describes conventional full dentures as an effective solution for individuals experiencing significant tooth loss. By providing a complete set of teeth, these dentures not only enhance the appearance of your smile but also restore essential functions like speaking and chewing.

Will wearing dentures hurt?

No, wearing dentures should not be painful at all! They might feel a little unusual at first, much like how it feels to break in a new pair of shoes. However, you can rest assured that full dentures are designed to be comfortable. The most important factor is achieving a proper fit, and our dedicated team will work closely with you to ensure that your dentures are comfortable and fit snugly along your gumline. Your comfort and satisfaction are our top priorities!

How do I take care of full dentures?

Caring for full dentures is quite straightforward! After you finish your meals, be sure to remove your dentures and rinse them thoroughly to remove any leftover food particles, then gently brush them. It’s also important to soak your dentures overnight to help keep them fresh and free from bacteria, ensuring they remain in excellent condition.

Can I eat everything with dentures?

Yes, you can eat a variety of foods with dentures, but it may take some time and practice to become accustomed to them. It’s best to start with softer foods that are easier to chew and gradually work your way up to firmer items, like juicy steaks and crunchy apples. Remember, patience is essential during this adjustment period. Before long, you’ll find that you can comfortably enjoy a wide range of foods with your dentures!

Will full dentures change the way I speak?

They may have a temporary effect on your speech. Initially, you may notice some adjustments as your mouth becomes accustomed to the new dentures. This acclimatization period is quite common and typically doesn’t last very long. However, before you know it, you’ll be conversing with your friends just as you did before receiving the dentures. To help facilitate this adjustment and regain your natural speaking ability more quickly, you can practice by reading aloud. Doing so can significantly enhance your comfort level and confidence in speaking.

How long do full dentures last?

Full dentures are designed to last between five and ten years when properly cared for. However, your gums and jaw can change shape over time, which may affect the fit of your dentures. For this reason, scheduling regular visits with the team at Huron Dental Centre is highly recommended. These check-ups help ensure that your dentures continue to fit comfortably and effectively throughout their lifespan.
