Full Dentures & Partial Dentures in Woodbridge

Smile Confidently with Dentures and Partial Dentures in Woodbridge

Missing teeth can make you feel less confident and make it more difficult to speak and chew. If you are missing one or more teeth because of disease, damage, or decay, there is hope. 

How Do Dentures Work?

Dentures are custom-made dental appliances that come in a variety of forms, including permanent, removable, and implant-supported. In general, a denture consists of artificial teeth made from porcelain or acrylic resins to match the shape, color, and translucency of natural tooth enamel. The teeth may have an acrylic base that sits on the gums or attach to a metal frame or implant post that is embedded in the jaw. In addition to the obvious aesthetic benefits, artificial teeth help to support the facial structure and restore natural tooth and jaw function. With proper care, artificial teeth can last and look beautiful for many years.

What Types of Affordable Quality Dentures Are Available in Woodbridge?

We are proud to offer a wide range of denture options to meet every dental need and budget. The following are just a few examples of the types of dentures that we carry:

Full Dentures

Also known as a complete denture, a full denture is used when all of the teeth on the upper or lower arch must be replaced. Any existing teeth are extracted to prepare the mouth for the denture. You will be given a temporary denture the day of the procedure and return once you have healed to have your permanent teeth fitted. A removable full denture rests on the gums and can be taken out for cleaning. A fixed or permanent full denture is held in place using implant posts.

Partial Dentures

With a partial denture, you keep any healthy teeth, and the partial acts like a bridge to replace any missing teeth. Unlike bridges that are attached to the supporting teeth by crowns, a partial is held in place by clasps that slip over the adjacent supporting teeth.

Flexible Partial Dentures

Instead of the metal clasps and rigid base used for a traditional partial, a flexible partial denture has a base and clasps made from a flexible material that is able to move with your mouth for greater comfort. The base is even gum-colored for a more realistic appearance.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Instead of resting on the gums, an implant-supported denture is secured to implants. With a bar-retained denture, the teeth connect to the implants using clips attached to a metal bar. With ball-retain implants, the implant has a ball-shaped attachment that fits into a corresponding socket on the denture. Depending on the type of implant, the dentures may be removable or fixed in place.

What Makes All-on-4® Dentures Unique?

The All-on-4® technique is a revolutionary tooth replacement concept using Nobel Biocare dental implants. Four implant posts are surgically implanted into the jaw. A permanent denture is then attached to the posts. The All-on-4 system is more stable than a traditional denture for a more natural look and feel.

What Is the Process for Getting Dentures?

The process of getting replacement teeth typically takes place in several stages; however, the exact steps vary based on the type of denture used. To ensure the best possible fit and bite, the dentist will normally take detailed measurements of your mouth and make an impression of your teeth. This is normally followed by dental surgery to remove any diseased or damaged teeth or to place the implant posts. Depending on the circumstances, your dentist may provide you with a temporary denture to wear while you heal. Once you have completely healed, you return to have your permanent denture fitted. It is common to have to return for a follow-up visit to make minor adjustments to improve the comfort and functionality of your new teeth.
