Who Qualifies for Dentures?
Our dentists can assist you with your oral health needs. When you come in for a visit, your smile will be examined, and if you’re dealing with any of the following, you may be an ideal candidate for dentures:
- Missing or looking to replace multiple or all your teeth
- Have a healthy jaw
- Have healthy gum tissue
Based on your requirements, you can acquire one of two main denture styles: partial and complete.
Styles of Dentures Available
We offer each type of denture at Bloor West. The primary characteristics of each one is noted below for your convenience:
| Partial | Complete |
|---|---|
| Replaces several teeth on either your upper or lower jaw | Replaces all the teeth in your mouth |
| Supported by your surrounding teeth and gums | Only supported by your gums; structure may require additional stability |
| Helps preserve your naturally existing teeth | May experience a longer adjustment period |
| Can be more expensive to acquire | Cost-effective |
Whether you choose a partial or a complete denture, each requires daily cleaning, so bacteria and food debris don’t build up and cause future problems. Additionally, it’s important to give yourself some time to get used to wearing them. If you need assistance or have questions, don’t be afraid to reach out to our dentist in Toronto.
