Dentures are prostheses, devices or appliances used to replace missing or lost teeth. Dentures are of several types – complete or partial, fixed or removable, metal or plastic and rigid or flexible. Complete dentures replace all the teeth in the mouth, whereas partial dentures replace only a few missing teeth.
Dentures enable patients to chew comfortably while enhancing aesthetics, restoring the youthful looks and maintaining the correct facial height. Dentures are supported by the hard and soft tissues of the mouth or natural teeth or dental implants.
Loose or ill-fitting dentures can be relined or adjusted for adequate retention and better fit. Denture bases made with 3-D printing technology are precise and fit well, avoiding multiple adjustments.
Dentures are often recommended to replace missing teeth and intra-oral structures after oral cancer therapy and when dental implants cannot be offered.
When missing teeth are replaced with dentures, the facial aesthetics and dimensions are restored. Essential functions such as chewing and speech improve; wrinkles and facial folds disappear, making the denture wearer look and feel a decade younger!
Replacing missing teeth with dentures is more cost-effective since dentures are easy to clean, can be adjusted, re-lined, re-based and tend to last longer.

As your body ages, so do your teeth. Our natural teeth become more susceptible to decay and other dental health issues as we get older. Sometimes these dental health issues lead to the extraction of your natural teeth. At My Dentist at Morgan Creek, we provide partial and complete dentures for our patients who have lost some or all of their teeth.
In order to avoid tooth loss, regular brushing and flossing are very important. Flossing especially is important in removing food particles that collect between your teeth. An old saying used by dental professionals is “pick out the teeth you want to keep and just floss them!”
The bottom line? Visit My Dentist at Morgan Creek in South Surrey / White Rock, BC, regularly and if you’re having problems, ask your dentist to try everything possible to avoid having your tooth or teeth pulled. Even the best denture isn’t going to be as good as your natural teeth. We do complete and partial dentures here but at best, dentures are a compromise. Discuss all options with your dentist.
Dentures are a type of prosthesis used to accommodate missing teeth. These devices are typically removable, but some are bonded or implanted. When all teeth are absent, complete dentures are used. When only some teeth are missing, partial dentures are used. Dentures may be for the maxillary arch, mandibular arch or both.
Soreness at the corners of the mouth: If your dentures alter the way your mouth closes, saliva may gather in the corners of the lips. This moisture can, over time, lead to conditions or infections like cheilosis or stomatitis. Your dentist can best determine the cause of soreness and how to alleviate it.
Irritation of the gums: Irritation can be caused by food particles rubbing against the gums after getting trapped under the dentures. Friction can lead to sores or bleeding, and if it’s persistent, you should see your dentist to rule out other possibilities.
Slippage: If dentures fit appropriately, there should not be an issue with suction. As the mouth changes, the seal between the gums and the device may weaken. If your dentures are not adhering the way they once did, contact your dentist.
Dentures will fall into one of two groups: partial or complete.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures, or bridges, are attached to the teeth to fill in gaps where other teeth are missing. Bridges may be removable or may sit in a fixed position using a crown. Bridges help maintain the appearance of a healthy smile while also keeping the remaining teeth in their proper alignment instead of shifting over time.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures replace an entire arch. Following a few months of total tooth loss, conventional dentures are placed in the patient’s mouth. This is done to allow the gums a chance to heal. Immediate dentures can be used immediately following extraction, but immediate dentures do not allow for the tissue and bone to settle, which will require adjustment over time. Immediate dentures are generally exchanged for conventional dentures as time goes on.
