Denture Options Available At Our Vaughan Dental Office
There are a variety of styles of dentures available. Each of them is used to address a specific kind of dental need. Some require being manufactured off-site and returned to the patient; some our team can provide the same day. Dentures for patients only missing a few teeth, and those available for patients missing multiple teeth. We also provide total or complete dentures for those who are missing one or both arches of teeth. Whether you’re replacing one tooth or multiple, there are two basic types of denture:
- Conventional Dentures – This type of denture is provided following the two or three months necessary for a patient’s recovery from extraction. While this time does allow the patient’s gums to heal, they also leave them without functional teeth. They will also experience shrinking of the jawbone and gums during this period. When conventional dentures are placed, there’s less need to return for them to be adjusted in response to this shrinkage.
- Immediate Dentures – These dentures are manufactured before the patient has their teeth extracted. When the extraction is complete, our team will provide them with these immediately. However, they will have to return to the dental office to have them adjusted. These adjustments are usually required multiple times over the lifetime of the patient.
Complete dentures are a fantastic way to restore the health and appearance of your smile. They allow you to continue enjoying your favorite foods and smile with pride. However, complete dentures aren’t always the best option. Removing healthy teeth is rarely appropriate simply to make a full conversion to complete dentures. For patients with healthy teeth remaining, partial dentures are an option. These dentures secure themselves to the remaining teeth. This provides a more stable mount for the dentures and ensures that healthy teeth are kept as long as possible.
Partial dentures are affixed to a plastic base that is colored to match your gums and palette. An additional metal framework is also necessary for attaching these dentures to your remaining teeth for support. Partial dentures are generally removable, so you can clean them nightly. However, our team may use a bridge instead of removable partial dentures when appropriate. Bridges use the teeth neighboring a gap created by a missing tooth as mounting points. These teeth are shaped to accept crowns, and a pontic is attached between them to serve as a replacement tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between full and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all teeth in an upper or lower arch, while partial dentures replace selected missing teeth when healthy natural teeth remain.
Can I get dentures immediately after my teeth are removed?
Immediate dentures may be prepared before extraction and placed shortly after the teeth are removed. Because the gums change during healing, adjustments or relining may be required afterward.
How long does it take to get used to dentures?
Adjustment time varies. Speaking and eating can feel different initially while the tongue and facial muscles become accustomed to the new appliance.
How long do dentures last?
There is no fixed lifespan for every denture. Fit can change as the gums and supporting bone change, and the appliance itself can wear or become damaged. Regular professional evaluation is recommended.
Can I sleep with my dentures in?
Your dentist can provide instructions specific to your appliance and oral health. In many cases, removing removable dentures for part of the day gives the supporting tissues an opportunity to rest.
What should I do if my dentures become loose?
Do not rely indefinitely on additional adhesive to compensate for a poorly fitting denture. A loose appliance should be evaluated to determine whether an adjustment, reline or replacement is appropriate.
Are dentures better than dental implants?
Neither is universally better. Dentures, dental bridges and implants have different benefits, costs and treatment requirements. The most appropriate option depends on your oral health and individual circumstances.
Do you accept new denture patients?
Yes. Vibrant Square Dental welcomes new patients looking for full, partial and immediate dentures in Vaughan.
