Dentures Near You
Dentures, those teeth in a glass beside your bed, the ones grandpa used to prank you with by removing his teeth in front of you, and the reason grandma won’t eat popcorn anymore. Dentures might bring up images of elderly people with puckered lips, but denture technology has improved a long way! Dentures in SW Calgary are a common solution for people who have lost a significant number of teeth or a few. They come in partial and full versions.
Partial vs. Full Dentures
Partial dentures near you (or simply “a partial”) has a gum-coloured base with multiple teeth, not necessarily in a row, along the base. These fit in the spaces between your existing natural or implanted teeth. They are secured with clips or brackets and can be removed.
Full dentures in SW Calgary, on the other hand, have a complete row of teeth attached to a gum-coloured base and can be made for either the top or bottom of your mouth. The palate, or roof of your mouth, may be covered with a denture or it may be open, depending on style. Sometimes you will need dental adhesive to hold them in.
When you schedule an appointment for dentures near you, our dentist will evaluate the health and state of your mouth to determine whether you would benefit from partial or full dentures in SW Calgary, AB T3E 0B2.
