Dentures in Edmonton

What are dentures?

Dentures are custom-made removable teeth. They are used to replace all or some missing teeth, and serve the same functions as natural teeth. Here is everything you need to know about dentures!

Type of Dentures

Conventional Complete Dentures in Edmonton

These types of dentures are used only after all teeth have been extracted and all tissue has been healed. This healing process may take several weeks and the patient may have to remain without teeth for that period.

Once fit, conventional complete dentures do not require realignment as all the tissues will have healed and assumed a permanent position and structure.

Immediate Dentures in Edmonton

Immediate complete dentures are fit immediately after the extraction of teeth and before the tissues have fully healed. These dentures may require realignment as the healing tissues may change in alignment and structure.

At Apple Dental Care, the dentures are custom made in a laboratory after taking prior impressions of the teeth and gums to replicate it perfectly. Immediate dentures are preferred by most of our patients as they do not have to remain without teeth at any point in time.

Partial Dentures in Edmonton

Partial dentures are a removable alternative to bridges as they attach to adjacent teeth to replace the missing teeth in between. Some teeth may require crowns to be placed on them to serve as suitable anchors for the partial dentures.

What do dentures do?

Dentures are made of acrylic with a base that resembles the natural human gums.

They act as a replacement for your teeth and serve all the functions that natural teeth serve.

They look and act as natural teeth to restore normal chewing function in the mouth and improve the aesthetic look of your smile. 

Benefits of dentures

• They support the facial and lip muscles from sagging or sinking into the face.
• They improve the ability to bite, chew, and speak.
• They improve the aesthetic of your smile, allowing you to smile confidently and freely.

How long do dentures last?

Dentures last for many years with normal wear and tear.

Minor remodeling, re-basing and realigning work may need to be performed on your dentures to ensure a perfect fit as your mouth changes in shape due to aging and other factors.

Apple Dental Care recommends properly brushing dentures to remove food debris and to prevent staining.
