What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are ideal for patients who are missing a few teeth but still have some of their original teeth as well. These dentures are typically made with either a metal framework or an acrylic resin base and are then attached to existing teeth. Follow-up appointments may be necessary to ensure that proper adjustments are made for maximum comfort. Here are some benefits of partial dentures that you should consider:
-
They can help you chew better and prevent digestion-related problems
-
They last for an extended period
-
They can be easily adjusted to your teeth
-
They prevent existing teeth from drifting
-
They are one of the affordable ways of replacing missing teeth
-
They can restore the shape of your face affected by tooth loss
-
They can help prevent speech problems caused by missing teeth
Complete Dentures
If you need a complete set of artificial teeth, complete dentures are the way to go. We make these dental appliances from an acrylic resin base that supports resin teeth. Dental implants hold them in place, and modern dentures offer both better function and retention when compared to traditional complete dentures.
The three main types of complete dentures are:
-
Immediate complete dentures: Clients wear them before putting their conventional full dentures in place.
-
Conventional complete dentures: We custom-make these dentures for you to wear permanently.
-
Implant-supported overdentures: These dentures use implants to stay in place.
Here are some benefits of our complete dentures in Calgary:
-
They improve your ability to chew and bite
-
They are virtually undetectable
-
They improve your speaking ability
-
They can restore your facial appearance

Types of Partial Dentures
With developments in dental technology, you have many options when choosing dentures.
Removable Partial Dentures
Some common types of removable partial dentures include:
-
Cast metal framework partial dentures: These dentures provide good support for replacement teeth and utilize precision attachment for improved appearance.
-
Acrylic clasp partial dentures: These types of dentures are generally reasonably-priced. Acrylic clasp dentures consist of removable acrylic flippers.
-
Flexible partial dentures: These dentures offer immense comfort and ease of wear. These dentures are gum-coloured, making them less noticeable than acrylic ones.
Fixed Partial Dentures
Some types of fixed partial dentures include:
-
Fixed bridge dentures: These are ideal for one or two missing teeth and healthy natural teeth at the two ends. This denture has a crown on each end, with replacement teeth in the middle.
-
Implant-supported fixed bridge dentures: These dentures are the best choice for those missing many teeth or those who do not want to risk damage to their existing natural teeth. Dental implants are posts that we make from biocompatible titanium to substitute for tooth roots. You can make your implant-supported fixed bridge dentures last forever with proper care.

Candidate for Partial Dentures

Missing teeth: Partial dentures are ideal for those missing some of their teeth and who would like to restore their functioning. Partial dentures can improve the shape of your face and help you smile and chew better.

Budget: In contrast to other teeth replacement options, partial dentures are more reasonably priced.
-
Pain sensitivity: Unlike other teeth replacements, the procedure for partial dentures is relatively minimally invasive. If you're unwilling to undergo extensive dental surgery, these dentures are the ideal choice.

The Procedure for Getting Partial Dentures
-
Initial inspection and consultation: In this initial consultation, we go over your requirements, dental history, lifestyle and budget. We examine your dental health along with overall health to determine whether you're a good candidate for the procedure.
-
Primary impression: We take an initial impression of your teeth to design trays for the second impression. To make the mould, we place a malleable gooey material over your teeth which becomes firm in a while.
-
Recording bite: We then record your bite to capture how your teeth move when you bite. Our team uses an articulator to observe your bite.
-
Designing your denture: This is the most critical stage of the process. We use your impressions to create a model, which we place over our articulator. The impression of your bite in the articulator lets us incorporate your bite into the denture.
If you have any questions about our partial dentures, please get in touch with us. We also provide emergency dentistry services.
