Dental Dentures

Restore your smile’s function and appearance with custom complete or partial dentures at Just Dentistry.

We offer traditional removable options as well as advanced implant-supported dentures for maximum stability and comfort.

Types of Dentures: Complete and Partial Dentures

There are two types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all of the natural teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are a replacement option for when all the teeth in an arch are missing. They can be made for either the upper or lower jaw and are secured by suction and/or an oral adhesive. They are removable, similar to partial dentures.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are a common solution for replacing missing teeth when the surrounding natural teeth are not strong enough to support alternatives such as bridges, or when multiple teeth are missing.

Complete and partial dentures can provide patients with a functional replacement when teeth have been lost.

Construction of Complete and Partial Dentures

Complete dentures are designed to replace all missing teeth in an arch. They consist of an acrylic base that mimics the look of gums and can have acrylic or porcelain teeth. The base is custom-fitted to the contours of the arch to ensure stability while eating, speaking, or swallowing.

Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. They consist of a metal framework with teeth attached in the areas of missing teeth. The framework also has clasps or arms that fit around some of the remaining natural teeth. This combination provides stability during normal oral functions.

The Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures

An implant-supported denture is a type of removable denture that is supported and secured by dental implants. Unlike regular dentures which rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures are anchored to the jawbone. They are typically recommended for patients who have lost all their teeth in the jaw but have enough healthy jawbone to support the implant.

Denture Cleaning and Maintenance

  1. Proper cleaning of dentures is crucial for their longevity and to prevent oral health issues. To ensure the proper hygiene of your dentures, it is essential to clean them daily. The following steps should be taken to properly clean your dentures:
  2. Remove dentures and rinse them thoroughly under running water to remove any food particles.
  3. Use a denture brush or a soft toothbrush and a mild soap or denture cleaner to scrub the surface and in between the teeth.
  4. Clean the gums and any remaining natural teeth as well while the dentures are out of the mouth.
Just Dentistry in London offers both complete and partial dentures. If you are missing teeth, we encourage you to book a consultation and see if dentures are the right option for you. Please call us at 519-471-0984

Frequently Asked Questions

Complete dentures are used when all the natural teeth in either the upper or lower arch are missing, relying on natural suction or adhesives for stability. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain; they utilize a discreet metal or acrylic framework that clips onto your existing teeth to fill the gaps and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting.
Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures are securely anchored to the jawbone using dental implants. This provide significantly more stability, meaning you don’t have to worry about the dentures slipping while eating or speaking. They also help preserve the jawbone and typically feel more like natural teeth.
It is normal for new dentures to feel a bit bulky or loose for the first few weeks while your cheek muscles and tongue learn to keep them in place. You may experience minor irritation or increased saliva flow initially. We will schedule follow-up appointments to make any necessary adjustments to ensure your dentures fit comfortably and securely.
To keep your dentures in top condition, you should remove and rinse them after every meal. Clean them daily using a soft-bristled brush and a non-abrasive denture cleaner or mild soap—regular toothpaste is often too harsh for denture materials. When not in use, keep them in water or a soaking solution to prevent them from drying out or losing their shape.
