Whether you’re struggling with mild or severe tooth loss, we recommend scheduling an appointment with Dr. Kevin Dann so he can learn more about your medical and dental history. From there, he can determine if you’re a good candidate for dentures. The good news is that this tried-and-true tooth-replacement solution is suitable for a wide range of patients, including those who don’t have any of their natural teeth left. If for any reason dentures aren’t ideal, like if you’re only missing one tooth, then Dr. Dann will recommend a different solution, like a single dental implant.

At our Toronto dental office, we offer more than one type of denture. That way, we can help patients at all stages of tooth loss! Read on for a brief overview of partial, full, and implant dentures.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures work like a puzzle piece, filling in the gaps in your smile with ease. Whether we’re replacing several teeth in a row or multiple teeth throughout your mouth, we’ll use a gum-colored base and custom-made prosthetic teeth to ensure your restoration looks natural and functions well.

Full Dentures

Full dentures, on the other hand, are designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth. While there are some similarities with partial dentures, including a gum-colored base and custom prosthetic teeth, there are also some distinct differences, including that it’s held in place with natural suction or denture adhesive.

Implant Dentures

While traditional dentures rest against your gums, implant dentures get their strength from your jawbone. This helps prevent bone loss, but there are other benefits too, including the fact that the results can last for several decades with proper care.

Benefits of Dentures

Dentures have several amazing benefits to your oral, emotional and physical health

When you’re missing multiple teeth, completing daily tasks like eating, speaking, and smiling confidently can be a challenge. Dentures can be a life-changing solution to this problem, replacing several, most of, or all your natural teeth and improving your quality of life in the process. If you suffer from tooth loss, dentures have the power to give your smile a second chance by providing the following amazing benefits.

Psychological Benefits

Having a complete smile benefits your mental health

It can be difficult to accept tooth loss. This can have devastating effects on your self-esteem and social life, as well as an increase your risk of experiencing mental health issues like sadness and depression. Worse yet, when faced with insecurities about tooth loss, you’re less likely to engage in social activities, further increasing feelings of isolation. The great news is that restoring your smile with dentures can help increase your confidence and self-esteem, reducing your anxiety about your appearance, speech articulation, chewing ability, and more while engaging socially.

Clearer Enunciation

You’ll speak more clearly when you have a full set of teeth with the help of dentures

Because you need your teeth to pronounce and perform words, missing even just one can make it difficult to speak clearly. Dentures act as your missing teeth, thereby allowing you to enunciate more clearly during speech. Following a brief adjustment period and a little bit of practice, speaking will once again come naturally to you.

Improves Nutrition

You can once again eat a more nutritious diet with dentures

Because many nutritious foods are tougher in texture (such as certain vegetables, fruits, and healthy proteins) they can be difficult or nearly impossible to eat when you’re missing teeth. This can increase your risk of indigestion and malnutrition.

With dentures, you restore much of your ability to chew, allowing for a more expansive diet full of nutritious, delicious foods. This helps not just your mouth but also assists your body in receiving more of the essential nutrients needed for optimal overall health.

Preserves Oral Health

Your dentures can help protect your remaining natural teeth

If you still have any remaining natural teeth, your new dentures can help prevent them from shifting to other areas of your mouth. Furthermore, because your prosthetics can bear some of the weight of regular chewing, this can reduce the wear and tear on those existing teeth.

Expands Opportunity

Your dentures can give you the confidence to advance your career or personal life

Studies have shown that your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. When it comes to important first impressions like job interviews, sales, dating, and advancing your career, it’s vital to make a great first impression, and having a complete smile is a major advantage.
