Dentures are removable prosthetic dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and support facial structure. They help patients restore oral health, improve chewing ability, and regain the confidence to smile and speak clearly after losing teeth due to age, injury, or disease.

There are several primary types of dentures available depending on a patient’s needs:

Full Dentures: These replace all the teeth in a dental arch and are ideal for patients with complete tooth loss. They help prevent jawbone shrinkage and improve overall function.

Partial Dentures: These are used when some natural teeth remain. They fill the gaps by attaching to existing teeth with clasps, which prevents the remaining teeth from shifting.

Implant-Supported Dentures: These are more advanced solutions that use titanium implants embedded in the jawbone to anchor the prosthetic. This provides superior stability and a more natural feel compared to traditional removable options.

In Canada, traditional dentures typically range in cost from $600 to $3,000, depending on the materials used and whether they are partial or full. Modern dentures are often crafted from durable materials like acrylic to ensure both longevity and comfort.
