Complete dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace a full set of missing teeth. They restore functionality, improve speech, and enhance the appearance of your smile, providing a durable and natural-looking solution for tooth loss. If you’re searching for dentists accepting new patients in St. John’s, Newfoundland, our team is here to help you achieve a healthy, confident smile.
What Are Complete (Full) Dentures?
Complete dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth — either the upper jaw, lower jaw, or both. They consist of a custom-made acrylic base that mimics gum tissue, with a full set of realistic replacement teeth. Whether due to disease, trauma or many missing teeth, full dentures help you:
- Restore your smile and facial structure
- Improve speech and chewing function
- Prevent further changes in your bite or jaw alignment
- Regain confidence in everyday life
Types of Complete Dentures We Offer
We tailor your dentures to your unique needs and budget. Options include:
- Conventional full dentures: Made after gums and bone have healed following tooth extraction—delivered in about 6–8 weeks.
- Immediate full dentures: Inserted the same day or shortly after extractions—so you don’t go without teeth during the healing period.
- Implant-supported dentures: For enhanced stability, we can anchor your denture onto a few dental implants—reducing slipping and improving comfort.
Your dentist will help select the best option based on your health, anatomy, and lifestyle.
Who Can Benefit from Complete Dentures?
Complete dentures are ideal for individuals who have lost all teeth in one or both arches and can benefit from:
- Improved ability to eat and speak after tooth loss.
- Aesthetic restoration for a confident smile.
- A removable option when dental implants aren’t viable.
