Losing one or more teeth can significantly impact your daily life – from eating and speaking to wanting to show off your smile. At ABN Family Dental, we offer complete and partial dentures in Aurora, Ontario, to help patients restore the appearance and function of their smiles. Whether you’re missing a few teeth or need a full replacement, our dental care team is here to provide personalized denture solutions that fit comfortably and look completely natural.
Dentures are custom-made removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They can be made from various materials that feel and look natural. Depending on your needs, dentures can be used to replace a few missing teeth (partial dentures) or an entire arch (full dentures).
Full dentures replace all the teeth missing in either the upper or lower jaw. These dentures sit comfortably on your gums and are held in place by natural suction, adhesives, or dental implants for added stability. Full dentures are designed to restore your entire smile and improve your ability to chew and speak clearly.
Partial dentures are ideal for patients who are missing several teeth but still have healthy natural teeth remaining. These dentures consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-coloured base, often secured in place with metal or acrylic clasps that attach to your natural teeth, similar to dental bridges. Partial dentures fill the gaps in your smile and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of place.
For added security and comfort, implant-supported dentures are anchored directly to dental implants that are surgically placed in the jawbone. These dentures offer superior stability, preventing slipping and improving chewing efficiency. Implant-supported dentures are a great option for patients looking for a long-term, secure solution to tooth loss.
Different dentures are designed to address different levels of tooth loss, ensuring that each patient receives a solution tailored to their specific needs. For individuals missing all their teeth in the upper or lower arch, complete (full) dentures provide a natural-looking, functional replacement that restores their ability to eat and speak. For those still with some healthy natural teeth remaining, partial dentures are ideal to fill in the gaps, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and improve oral function. Additionally, implant-supported dentures offer a secure fit for patients seeking greater stability and comfort by anchoring the denture to dental implants placed in the jawbone. Implants can also prevent jawbone loss and changes in the facial structure often caused by gaps left by missing teeth.
Full or partial dentures are used to replace missing teeth and restore the overall function of your smile. The first step in your denture journey should be to book a consultation with our dentist to assess your dental health, take impressions of your mouth, and determine the best treatment plan going forward.

There are many benefits to undergoing denture treatment to improve your overall oral health, no matter the type of denture you receive:
Dentures can be made from a variety of materials. Typically acrylic resin is commonly used as it’s known for being lightweight and easy to adjust for a comfortable fit. Porcelain is often used for artificial teeth because of their natural appearance and durability, closely mimicking the look and feel of real teeth. Partial dentures are made from a metal framework, typically made from cobalt-chromium alloys, and may be used to provide extra strength and stability while keeping the design thin and comfortable. In some cases, flexible nylon-based material is used for a more comfortable and discreet option. We’ll carefully select materials tailored to your unique smile, needs, and goals to ensure a comfortable, natural-looking result.
Getting dentures may seem daunting at first, but if you’re losing teeth, dentures can help. Many people need dentures due to various reasons, such as advanced tooth decay, gum disease, or injury. While the thought of wearing dentures can be intimidating, it’s important to remember that they offer a practical solution for restoring your smile and improving your ability to eat and speak. Call us today to begin assessing your oral health, discussing your options, and creating a treatment plan that fits your needs. While the journey to getting dentures may come with challenges, the benefits can make it all worthwhile.
