Dentures in Port Coquitlam

Dentures

We work closely with a trusted denturist to provide high-quality dentures. Dentures are custom-made appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Both complete and partial dentures restore function and aesthetics. Typically crafted from acrylic resin with optional metal support, dentures come in two primary types: complete and partial.

Complete Dentures

Complete dentures are used when all natural teeth are absent. They can be “conventional,” created after teeth removal and subsequent gum tissue healing, or “immediate,” prepared in advance and placed following tooth extraction. Conventional dentures are typically ready for fitting within 8-12 weeks post-teeth removal.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are employed when some natural teeth remain intact. They are made up of replacement teeth set into a pink or gum-colored plastic base, and may include a metal framework for added stability within the mouth. Partial dentures effectively fill gaps left by missing teeth and prevent neighboring teeth from shifting position.
