Types of Dentures Explained: Partial, Full, and Implant-Supported

For many individuals, dentures are more than just a solution to missing teeth—they’re a gateway to renewed confidence, improved chewing function, and a healthier smile. At Dental Wellness of Camby, Dr. Robin Singh Warainch and her compassionate team understand that every smile is unique.

That’s why we take a personalized approach to restorative dentistry. Whether you're just beginning to explore your tooth replacement options or seeking to upgrade your current dentures, understanding the different types of dentures (partial, full, and implant-supported) can help you make an informed decision about your oral health.

What Are Full Dentures?

Full dentures, also known as complete dentures, are designed for individuals who have lost all of their teeth in either the upper or lower arch (or both). These custom-fitted prosthetics rest on the gumline and are typically made from acrylic for a natural appearance and durable wear.

Dr. Warainch and her team use advanced dental technology to ensure a highly accurate fit, greatly improving comfort and functionality. Full dentures may be a good fit for you if:

• You’ve lost all or most of your natural teeth in an arch
• You want to restore your facial structure and ability to chew/speak comfortably
• You need an affordable full-mouth restoration option

At Dental Wellness of Camby, we provide personalized consultations to ensure your full dentures meet both your functional and aesthetic needs in a warm, supportive environment.

Understanding Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are an ideal solution for patients who still retain some of their natural teeth. These removable dental appliances seamlessly fill in the gaps left by missing teeth, helping to prevent remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment.

Partial dentures typically consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic base, supported in the mouth by clasps or precision attachments. The benefits of partial dentures include:

• Preserving the alignment of your natural teeth
• Improving your ability to speak and eat comfortably
• Blending aesthetically with your existing teeth
• Affordable compared to single-tooth implants and bridges

Each partial denture at Dental Wellness of Camby is personally crafted to complement your smile, combining the latest materials and technology with hands-on, compassionate care.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

For those seeking a more stable and permanent tooth replacement option, implant-supported dentures offer an advanced, modern solution. Unlike traditional removable dentures, these are anchored securely in place by dental implants surgically placed into the jawbone. 

This system provides enhanced stability and function, making them feel and behave more like natural teeth. Implant-supported dentures may be ideal if you:

• Desire a more secure denture with no slipping or shifting
• Have sufficient jawbone density for implant placement
• Are looking for a long-lasting solution to tooth los

Dr. Robin Singh Warainch is skilled in planning and coordinating implant procedures with a focus on patient comfort and optimal outcomes. At Dental Wellness of Camby, we use cutting-edge imaging and planning tools to simplify the implant denture process for our patients.

Choosing the Right Type of Denture for You

Each type of denture offers unique benefits, and the right choice depends on your oral health, lifestyle, and cosmetic goals. Dr. Warainch takes the time to understand each patient's individual situation, guiding you through your options in a friendly and pressure-free way. Key considerations when selecting the right type of denture include:

• The number of teeth you’re missing
• Your bone health and overall oral condition
• Preferences for comfort, stability, and maintenance
• Your long-term dental health goals
• Your budget, schedule, and desired treatment timeline

Whether you’re a candidate for full dentures, partials, or implant-supported solutions, the team at Dental Wellness of Camby will create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. Our comfort-focused environment and thoughtful amenities make every step of the journey a positive experience.
