Your dentures help you live a better quality of life. Think about it; they fill your mouth with a set of teeth you can use to eat, chew, and flash a full smile to those you come in contact with every day. This makes them invaluable. As such, it’s crucial that they are properly cared for and maintained so that they can go the distance.

Simply put, a denture is a removable oral device that supersedes missing teeth and neighbouring tissues. More than likely, if you thought about dentures, the stereotypical image that would come to mind would be that of a comedy movie with the grandparents’ false teeth falling from their mouths during a holiday dinner.
If that’s the vision you have in mind when you think of dentures, you’ve hit the nail on the head. Typically, removable dentures are the ones most commonly thought of when this oral device is brought to attention. However, permanent dentures are also available.
But those aren’t the only denture variations. There are also complete and partial dentures as well. Let’s take a closer look at each one.
A partial denture is a denture variation for partially edentulous individuals who require replacement teeth for functionality purposes or appearance reasons. These types of patients usually forgo a bridge due to such reasons as a lack of necessary teeth to support the bridge or budgetary restrictions.
Your dentist will usually suggest partial dentures if you have 3 or more missing teeth located side by side with one another. At Stoney Trail Dental, we have the tools, experience, and expertise to fit the proper partial dentures for your unique oral formation.
A complete denture is exactly what its name entails: it’s a complete and all-encompassing removable acrylic tooth, bone, and soft tissue replacement. Used to supplant the whole of a dental arch, this convenient oral device is affordable, simple to manufacture and restore, and offers a degree of aesthetical appeal and functionality.
Moreover, complete dentures serve many patients by helping them to live more confidently due to their full smiles.
Regardless of whether you need partial or complete dentures, the end result is the same: a bright smile that will add life to any room you occupy. Few things are more welcoming than a genuine flash of healthy pearly whites. And here at Stoney Trail Dental, we want to help you get there.
We house a team of dedicated dental professionals. And with an unwavering commitment to service and a strong passion for oral health and hygiene, our team is ready to serve in any capacity in order to meet your dental needs. Contact us today to learn more.
