Full Dentures
Handcrafted Full Dentures for a natural look and restored function.
A complete solution for patients missing all teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches. We custom-design each set to match your facial structure for a natural look.
Key Features
- Custom Esthetics: Every set is handcrafted to reflect your unique personality, matching your facial contours and desired tooth shade.
- Functional Restoration: Designed to restore your ability to chew a variety of foods and improve the clarity of your speech.
- Precision Fit: Utilizes advanced jaw movement analysis (Precision Dentures) to ensure the denture works in harmony with your TMJ (jaw joint).
Pros
Provides full lip and cheek support, preventing a “collapsed” facial appearance. The most cost-effective solution for total tooth loss.
Non-invasive process (no surgery required).
Cons
It may take several weeks to fully acclimate to the feel and function. The lower denture relies solely on suction and muscle control, which can be challenging
for some patients.
Requires periodic relines as the jawbone naturally shrinks over time.
Partial Dentures
Seamless Partial Dentures designed to protect your remaining natural teeth.
Ideal for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth.
We fill the gaps with high-quality materials that blend seamlessly while protecting your remaining teeth.
We fill the gaps with high-quality materials that blend seamlessly while protecting your remaining teeth.
Key Features
- Structural Support: Uses high-quality metal (Cast Chrome) or flexible acrylic frames that clasp onto existing teeth for stability.
- Tooth Migration Prevention: Actively prevents your remaining natural teeth from shifting or tilting into empty spaces.
- Seamless Blend: We use premium composite teeth that are color-matched to your natural dentition.
Pros
Significantly increases chewing efficiency compared to having missing teeth.
Less invasive and more affordable than dental bridges or multiple implants.
Helps maintain the health of your remaining teeth by distributing the biting force evenly.
Cons
Depending on the design, metal clasps may be slightly visible (though we strive for
maximum discretion).
Requires extra care to clean both the appliance and the supporting natural teeth.
Implant Supported Dentures
The ultimate stable solution eat your favorite foods in Salmon Arm with confidence.
The ultimate choice for stability. These are securely anchored by dental
implants, allowing you to eat your favorite foods like steak or apples with absolute
confidence.
Key Features
- Secure Anchoring: These dentures "snap" or screw onto 2 to 4 dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone.
- Palate-Free Design: For upper dentures, we can often remove the bulky palate portion, allowing you to taste food better and speak more naturally.
- Bone Preservation: Implants stimulate the jawbone, significantly slowing down the process of bone resorption (shrinkage).
Pros
Eliminates the need for messy denture adhesives.
Unrivaled stability eat steak, apples, and crunchy foods with absolute confidence.
Greatly reduces tissue irritation and sore spots caused by shifting dentures.
Cons
Requires a surgical procedure and a healing period (integration) before the final denture
is attached.
Higher initial investment compared to conventional dentures.
Surgical Immediate Dentures
Never spend a day without your smile. Same-day transformation
available
Designed for patients who need extractions but want to maintain their smile. We prepare these in advance so you can walk out of your extraction appointment
with a complete smile on the same day.
Key Features
- Same-Day Transformation: Fabricated before your extractions and inserted immediately after the teeth are removed.
- Protective Bandage: Acts as a protective layer over extraction sites, reducing swelling and aiding in the healing process.
- Immediate Adaptation: Allows you to begin practicing speech and chewing with dentures right from day one.
Pros
Avoid the embarrassment of being seen without teeth during the healing months.
Maintain your facial height and jaw position immediately following surgery.
Cons
Temporary Fit: As the gums and bone heal and shrink, the denture will become loose and require frequent adjustments.
Additional Maintenance: A professional reline (refitting) is mandatory 3 to 6 months after healing is complete.
You cannot “try on” the teeth before the extractions, so minor aesthetic adjustments may
be needed later.
