Complete & Partial Dentures in Gloucester, ON

Complete Smile Restoration with Custom Dentures

Dentures are removable appliances that replace missing teeth and restore your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Ogilvie Dental, Dr. Kohila Kandasamy & Associates make dentures to fit your mouth, and adjust them over several visits until they settle.

Types of Dentures

Complete Dentures: Replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Suited to patients who have lost all their natural teeth.

Partial Dentures: Replace several missing teeth while preserving remaining natural teeth. Attached with metal clasps or precision attachments.

Implant-Supported Dentures: Secured to dental implants for added stability.

What to Expect

Getting dentures typically requires several appointments for impressions, fittings, and adjustments.

Assessment and Options

We look at what is left of your natural teeth and go through whether complete, partial or implant-supported dentures suit your situation.

Impressions

Impressions of your mouth are taken so the denture can be made to fit.

Fitting

The denture is fitted and checked, with a natural appearance that complements your facial features.

Adjustments

Dentures are fitted over several visits and adjusted until they settle. New dentures usually need more than one adjustment.

Benefits and Considerations

What dentures can restore, and the practical points that come with a removable appliance.

Benefits of Dentures

Fills the spaces left by missing teeth

Improved Eating

Enjoy your favorite foods again

Better Speech

Speak clearly and confidently

A Removable Option

Considerations

Dentures are removable appliances rather than fixed restorations.
They are fitted over several visits and adjusted until they settle, so treatment is not completed in one appointment.
Partial dentures attach with metal clasps or precision attachments to the remaining natural teeth.
Implant-supported dentures are secured to dental implants, which is a separate treatment with its own requirements.
Which type suits you depends on how many natural teeth remain.

Which type of denture suits you is decided after an examination. Where dentures are secured to implants, the requirements for dental implants apply as well.
