Removable dental prostheses

Dental prostheses adapted to your needs

Rediscover comfort and aesthetics with our removable dentures, designed to meet your expectations and help you regain confidence. Our specialized denturist services for custom-made dentures provide an effective solution for your functional and visual needs.

We help you choose the type of removable denture that best suits your situation.

There are two types of removable acrylic dentures: complete removable dentures and partial removable dentures.

What are the different types of dentures?

During your visit to our dental center, our denturist will analyze several factors to recommend the ideal denture for you.

We also conduct a complete assessment. Is chewing function impaired? Does the patient still have healthy teeth? Is a full denture necessary, or will partial dentures suffice?

These are some of the questions our professionals consider to help you choose the best solution for your needs. Let’s take a look at the two types of dentures offered by Lapointe dental centres.

Complete dental prostheses

Full dentures are used to replace all natural teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw, providing significant improvements both aesthetically and functionally for chewing and speech.. This type of dental prosthesis is what many people still call “false teeth”.

Full dentures are made in several appointments, but the procedure is simple. To ensure that the shape and colour of the teeth are in harmony with your mouth, we first create an initial wax model based on impressions and precise measurements taken in relation to the shape of your face.

Once you and your denturist are satisfied with the result, the technician makes a final version of your acrylic denture. Your denturist can then fit your new teeth in your mouth.

Finally, a few follow-up appointments will allow the denturist to study and adjust the comfort level of your removable dental prosthesis.

(Note that a complete removable dental prosthesis can also be installed on dental implants).

Partial dental prostheses

Partial dentures are designed for patients who still have some natural teeth. They are used to replace one or more missing teeth, helping with chewing, speech, and aesthetics.

The partial plate is made of an acrylic resin base, with or without metal, which rests on the gums and is anchored to the remaining teeth with clasps.

Easy to maintain, this removable dental prosthesis is quickly made based on impressions and precise measurements.

The differences between dental prostheses and implants

Distinguishing between dental prosthetics and dental implants is essential for choosing the most suitable solution.

A removable prosthesis is an economical option and a less invasive temporary solution than implants for replacing lost teeth or damaged teeth. These artificial teeth are particularly suitable for patients who are not eligible or do not wish to undergo surgery for implants.

Alternatively, dental implants provide a solution that is both more enduring and stable. These fixed prostheses are anchored into the jawbone, providing strong support and stability for the replacement teeth.

We discuss the matter in detail with our patients to determine the best option according to their specific dental situation (for example, the state of their natural teeth) and their personal expectations.

For the proper care of your dental prosthesis, we recommend regular cleaning with suitable products, as well as periodic visits to the dentist for check-ups and adjustments, if you see any complication.
