Partial Dentures in Vancouver, BC
Replace Missing Teeth While Preserving Your Natural Smile
What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of natural-looking replacement teeth attached to a durable acrylic or metal framework that fits securely around your remaining teeth.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures may be recommended if you:
- Are missing several teeth but still have healthy natural teeth
- Want an affordable tooth replacement option
- Have difficulty chewing because of missing teeth
- Want to improve your smile and facial appearance
- Are not currently a candidate for dental implants
- Need a removable solution that’s easy to maintain
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your oral health and discuss the best tooth replacement option for your needs.
Our Partial Denture Process
Comprehensive Consultation: Your journey begins with a complete dental examination. We’ll assess your remaining teeth, gums, and jawbone to determine whether partial dentures are the right solution.
Digital Impressions: Precise impressions and bite measurements are taken to ensure your new partial denture fits comfortably and functions properly.
Custom Fabrication: Your partial denture is individually designed to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth, creating a seamless, natural-looking smile.
Fitting Appointment: Once your appliance is ready, we’ll check the fit, make any necessary adjustments, and ensure you feel comfortable inserting and removing it.
Follow-Up Care: As your mouth changes over time, occasional adjustments may be needed to maintain the best possible fit and comfort.
