Dentures

When it comes to restoring the function of the missing teeth, dentures are a popular and effective choice for many people. Dentures are prosthetic devices that replace missing teeth and restore both function and aesthetics for patients.

At Ace Dental locations, we provide all kinds of dentures in Coquitlam and Vancouver.

From implant surgery to denture fabrication in our in-house denture laboratory, we do it all conveniently under one roof.

In general, dentures can be categorized into three main groups as bellow:                                                                                             

 - Removable partial denture (Supported by tooth and gum)                                                                                                        - Removable complete denture (Conventional complete denture)                                                                                               - Dentures Supported by Implant (Fix or a removable denture)

What are Conventional Removable Dentures?

Conventional removable dentures are the most common type of dentures and are typically made from a combination of acrylic, metal, or other materials. These dentures sit on top of the gums and are held in place using suction, adhesives, or metal clasps. Removable dentures can be easily taken out for cleaning and maintenance, making them a convenient option for many patients. However, some people may find these removable dentures to be less stable and less comfortable compared to implant-supported dentures.

What are Implant-Supported and Fixed-implant Dentures?

In general, the combination of implants and dentures is the most stable and comfortable solution for replacing missing teeth. This combination offers improved stability, comfort, and function compared to conventional removable dentures. They also help preserve the bone structure of the jaw and prevent further bone loss.

Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a strong foundation for the dentures to be attached to or to be supported by them.

The different implant denture combination options will be discussed below.

Implant-supported dentures:                                                                                                                                                These dentures are removable and connect to the implant with a bar or locator. Patients can remove the dentures to clean them.

Implant fixed dentures:                                                                                                                                                           These dentures are Not removable and will connect to the dentures by titanium screws, which can be removed by your dentist for cleaning and maintenance.

Choosing between conventional removable dentures and implant-supported dentures (either fixed or removable) depends on various factors, including your oral health, budget, lifestyle, and personal preferences.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      Make your appointment today to discuss the best option for dentures that keeps you satisfied.                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Here are some key considerations to keep in mind when deciding between the available options:

Stability and Comfort

If you don’t have enough bone support, especially in your lower jaw, Conventional removable dentures may shift or move around while eating or speaking, leading to discomfort and potential embarrassment. Implant-supported dentures (either fixed or removable), on the other hand, are securely anchored in place, offering a more stable and comfortable fit.

Bone Health

Implant-supported dentures (either fixed or removable) help stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and preserving the overall structure of the face. Conventional removable dentures do not provide the same level of bone stimulation, which leads to bone resorption over time and changes in the height of your lower face.

Cost

Implant-supported dentures are typically more expensive upfront, compared to conventional removable dentures. However, they offer long-term benefits that may outweigh the initial cost for some patients.
