Conventional dentures remain a popular choice for replacing multiple missing teeth or complete arches of teeth. They are cost-effective and non-invasive to create as no surgery is needed.
We Custom Design Every Denture
Our experienced dentists at Margolian Dentistry take enormous care when designing dentures in Oshawa. We can fabricate beautiful partial or complete dentures designed to replace missing teeth comfortably while creating the best possible aesthetic outcome. Modern denture teeth can look amazingly natural, with a huge range of different shapes, sizes and colours to choose from, so you can be sure we have something that will suit you.
A Complete Range of Denture Maintenance Services
Dentures require regular maintenance, and our dental office can provide professional repairs and re-lines to help keep them fitting more accurately. While we do everything possible to make sure dentures fit securely, their fit does change over time because of changes to the shape of your jawbone. These changes are inevitable and reduce the amount of jawbone available for good denture retention. Consequently, you may find yourself beginning to use dental adhesive frequently. At this point, one option is to consider implant-retained dentures.
Implant Retained Dentures
Our implant retained dentures in Whitby look just like conventional dentures and are created using the same high standard denture teeth and denture base. Instead of sitting on the gums, they have special attachments on their fitting surface. These attachments clip directly onto dental implants in your jawbone, so they are held firmly in place, but you can remove them easily whenever you want to clean them.
Why Choose Implant Retained Dentures over Conventional Dentures?
Because the dentures clip firmly in place, you will find it is easier to eat comfortably, and you need not fear your dentures shifting out of place. There is no need to use denture adhesives, and implant dentures cannot rub uncomfortably on your gums. People who generally like their dentures but currently struggle to wear them securely will find this is often a good solution. An implant-retained denture can improve your self-esteem and sense of well being, and general enjoyment in everyday activities such as eating a nice meal or just socializing with friends and family.
An Affordable Solution
An implant-retained denture in Ajax is more affordable than you might imagine because relatively few implants are used to hold the denture in place, normally as few as four implants. The dental implants are situated to make the best use of your jawbone towards the front of your mouth, as this is where it is naturally thicker and stronger. Utilizing your jawbone in this way ensures the implants can fuse with the bone around them, often without the need for bone grafting.
Usually, implant retained dentures replace a lower denture as these tend to fit less stably than upper dentures. However, if you have an upper denture that you would prefer to replace with an implant-retained prosthesis, this is possible, but you may need a greater number of implants to hold it securely. A bonus of an upper implant retained denture is its shape. Your upper palate is no longer covered, as instead, the denture is designed in a horseshoe shape. It will feel less bulky to wear and uncovers all those taste buds in your upper palate. Imagine enjoying much tastier meals!
