Dentures in Winnipeg

A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth. There are two types of dentures – full and partial.

Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.

Full (Complete) Dentures in Winnipeg

Full dentures replace all of the teeth in the top and/or bottom section of your mouth. 

Full dentures can be either "conventional" or "immediate." Made after teeth have been removed and the gum tissue has begun to heal, a conventional denture is ready for placement in the mouth about eight to 12 weeks after the teeth have been removed.

Partial Dentures in Winnipeg

Partial dentures can be used to replace one or more missing teeth. 

A removable partial denture or bridge usually consists of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, which is sometimes connected by metal framework that holds the denture in place in the mouth. Partial dentures are used when one or more natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw.
