Dental Dentures Edmonton
Complete and Partial Dentures in Edmonton
Dentures are removable prosthetic appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore surrounding oral tissues. If you have experienced tooth loss due to trauma, systemic illness, or progressive decay, modern dentures offer a reliable, time-tested approach to re-establishing your bite, supporting facial muscles, and clarifying speech.
Removable Appliance Delivery Systems
Prosthetic treatment options are classified based on the number of healthy natural teeth remaining in the dental arch.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are indicated when all natural teeth across an entire upper or lower dental arch are missing.
- Material Composition: Consists of a custom pink acrylic tissue base that accurately mimics natural gum contours, embedded with high-grade acrylic or porcelain prosthetic teeth.
- Retention Method: Custom-fitted to the precise anatomical boundaries of your ridge, utilizing atmospheric suction, surface tension, and occasionally safe oral adhesives for operational stability.
- Fully removable to allow for daily soft-tissue rest and standard hygiene routines.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are recommended when multiple teeth are missing but healthy natural teeth still remain within the arch to act as supporting fixtures.
- Structural Framework: Constructed using a lightweight, rigid metal or medical-grade resin framework that spans the gap zones where teeth are absent.
- Retention Method: Features micro-engineered metal clasps or flexible supportive arms that grip securely onto remaining healthy natural teeth.
- Serves as an ideal alternative when nearby teeth are not robust enough to support a fixed dental bridge.
The Advantages of Implant-Supported Overdentures
Unlike traditional full dentures that rest entirely on the vulnerable surface of the gums, an implant-supported denture anchors directly onto strategic dental implants placed into the jawbone.
This secure connection vastly improves retention, eliminates the risk of slippage during meals or conversations, and provides the vital stimulation required to prevent long-term jawbone resorption. This system is ideal for fully edentulous individuals with adequate underlying bone volume.
Hygiene and Maintenance Protocol
Meticulous daily care is vital to protect underlying oral tissues, clear away bacterial accumulation, and extend the lifespan of your appliance:
- Remove the appliance from your mouth and rinse it thoroughly under warm running water to flush away loose food particles.
- Using a specialized denture brush or a soft-bristled toothbrush, gently scrub all acrylic and porcelain surfaces with a mild soap or non-abrasive denture cleaning paste. Avoid harsh regular toothpastes that can scratch the material.
- While the appliance is out of your mouth, thoroughly brush your natural gums, tongue, and any remaining anchor teeth to optimize tissue circulation and oral health.
