Dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and restore your smile’s functionality and aesthetics. They come in two primary types: complete and partial dentures, tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient.

At Zoom Dental Clinic, we understand the profound impact that missing teeth can have on your life. Dentures not only restore your ability to chew and speak but also enhance your appearance by providing support to facial structures, ultimately improving your self-esteem and quality of life.

What Are Dentures?

When people think of dentures, they often picture a full set of teeth and gums, top and bottom, which are removable. While such dentures are an option for patients who have lost all of their teeth, there are actually many types of dentures which replace a few teeth, or even for replacing all of the teeth in the jaw. Some dentures are removable, and some may be permanent. Three main types of dentures are:

Full Conventional Dentures: Full dentures are made to replace all of the teeth on the jaw – either just the upper, or lower jaw, or both. This is the most economical custom made option and they are tailored to fit precisely over your jaw and realistically replace your teeth and gums. Over time, as you experience bone loss in your jaw, due to missing teeth, the fit may become less perfect, leading to shifting, so other options may be preferred, if your budget and your mouth are suited to them.
Overdentures: Overdentures do not simply fit over your gums, they fit over and are supported in place by either titanium implants, or by natural teeth, if there are some left. They are more expensive than conventional full dentures, however, they may be more stable. As well, the remaining natural teeth, or implants which support the dentures help to mitigate bone loss in the jaw.
Partial Dentures: An excellent option if only some teeth need to be replaced, partial dentures fit between the remaining teeth and are held in place by clasps which grasp crowns on the adjoining teeth. Even in cases where a missing tooth is at the back of the jaw and not visible when you talk, or smile, a partial denture is advisable, as it helps to keep the natural teeth from shifting, due the empty space. There are two types of partial dentures:

While the loss of your teeth may be devastating, Dr. Sushma Bajaj will help you to choose the best option for replacement and ensure that your custom dentures are natural looking and comfortable, so that you will feel like smiling again.

The Denture Fitting Process in Burnaby

Initial Consultation

During your first visit to Zoom Dental Clinic, our team will conduct a comprehensive discussion regarding your dental history and any specific concerns you may have. This is a crucial opportunity to assess your overall oral health and determine the most suitable type of dentures for your needs, whether complete or partial.

Examination & Diagnosis

A thorough examination of your mouth and jaw will be performed to identify any underlying issues, such as gum disease or bone loss, that could affect the fitting of your dentures. This diagnostic process helps us understand your unique oral structure and ensures that we develop a tailored approach for your dentures

Creating Custom Impressions

We will take precise impressions of your gums and any remaining teeth, using special materials that capture the unique contours of your mouth. These impressions are vital as they serve as the foundation for crafting custom dentures that fit comfortably and securely. This step ensures that your dentures will align correctly with your mouth and jaw for optimal functionality and comfort.

Design and Fabrication

Once we have the impressions, our skilled technicians will design and fabricate your dentures using high-quality materials. The process involves careful craftsmanship to create dentures that mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth. We prioritize durability and aesthetics, ensuring that your new dentures not only fit well but also enhance your smile.

Fitting Appointment

When your dentures are ready, you’ll return for a fitting appointment. During this visit, we will place the dentures in your mouth to assess their fit and comfort. Our team will make any necessary adjustments to ensure that the dentures sit correctly and function smoothly, addressing any concerns you may have about how they feel during everyday activities like eating and speaking.

Follow-Up Care

After your dentures have been fitted, we’ll schedule follow-up appointments to monitor their fit and function. These visits are essential for addressing any adjustments needed as your mouth adjusts to the new dentures. Regular check-ups also allow us to ensure the overall health of your gums and oral cavity, providing ongoing support for your dental health and comfort.
