Dental Dentures Toronto
Losing teeth can impact your confidence and ability to enjoy life. Dental dentures offer a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. If you're in Toronto and have lost some or all of your teeth due to accident, illness, or inadequate oral care, Dr. Ramin Hassanein & Associates can help. Dentures may be the ideal replacement option for you.
Dental Dentures in Toronto: Complete and Partial Options
You have two main types to consider: complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all natural teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. Dr. Ramin Hassanein & Associates offers both.
Complete Dentures: A Full Smile Restoration
Complete dentures are the answer when all the teeth in an arch are missing. These dentures, designed for either the upper or lower jaw, are held in place by suction and/or a denture adhesive. Like partial dentures, they are removable for cleaning and care.
Partial Dentures: Filling the Gaps
Partial dentures are a popular choice for replacing missing teeth, especially when the remaining natural teeth aren't strong enough for bridges or when multiple teeth are missing. They offer a stable and functional solution.
Both complete and partial dentures from Dr. Ramin Hassanein & Associates can provide a functional and aesthetically pleasing replacement when teeth have been lost, improving your smile and quality of life.
How Dentures are Made: Custom-Crafted for You
Crafting Complete Dentures
Complete dentures are carefully designed to replace all missing teeth in an arch. They feature an acrylic base, tinted to resemble gums, and can be fitted with either acrylic or porcelain teeth. The base is custom-fitted to the unique contours of your mouth to ensure stability during everyday activities like eating and speaking.
Crafting Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when you still have some natural teeth. They consist of a metal framework that holds replacement teeth in the areas where teeth are missing. The framework also includes clasps or arms that attach to your remaining natural teeth, providing stability during normal oral functions.
The Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
Considering a more secure option? An implant-supported denture is a removable denture that's supported and secured by dental implants. Unlike regular dentures that rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures are anchored to the jawbone. Dr. Ramin Hassanein & Associates often recommends them for patients who have lost all their teeth in a jaw but have sufficient healthy jawbone to support the implants. This approach offers increased stability and comfort.
Keeping Your Dentures Clean: A Daily Routine
Proper cleaning is key to the longevity of your dentures and your overall oral health. To maintain hygiene, clean your dentures daily with these simple steps:
- Remove your dentures and rinse them thoroughly under running water to get rid of any food particles.
- Use a denture brush or a soft toothbrush, along with a mild soap or denture cleaner, to gently scrub the surface and between the teeth.
- Don't forget to clean your gums and any remaining natural teeth while the dentures are out of your mouth.
