Dentures
The Results Speak for Themselves
What Are Dentures?
- Dentures are restorations that dentists use to replace natural teeth lost due to trauma, disease, and other causes. They are crafted to look like natural teeth and gums.
- Some dentures are removable, while others are permanently attached to dental implants surgically anchored into your jaw.
- The skilled doctors at our dental office in Coquitlam, BC, provide high-quality, natural-looking dentures.
Benefits of Dentures

Boosted Confidence
A bright, healthy smile can make you feel more at ease in personal or professional situations.
Improved Oral Functions

Traditional Removable Dentures
Full dentures can replace an entire lower or upper arch of teeth. They consist of an acrylic base that fits over your gums, secured with mild adhesive.
Partial dentures can replace a few consecutive or non-consecutive missing teeth. Partials are held in place by metal clasps that attach to surrounding teeth.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Traditional vs. Implant-Supported Dentures
Increased Stability
Traditional dentures are usually held in place by mild adhesive. They can slip or even fall out from time to time. An implant-supported denture is attached to your jawbone for superior stability.
Long-Lasting Results
Implant-supported dentures can provide decades of benefits. The dentures themselves may need replacing after 10 to 15 years, but dental implants can last a lifetime with proper care.
Better Jawbone Health
When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone tissue will begin to atrophy, or shrink. Dental implants provide the stimulation necessary to prevent jaw atrophy. Traditional dentures don't provide this benefit.
Easier Cleaning/Care
Traditional dentures need to be removed and either soaked in cleanser or brushed at night for cleaning. Soaking is also necessary to keep them from drying out. Implant-supported dentures are brushed and flossed in the same way as natural teeth.
