Our knowledge and attention to detail will get you back on the path to greater confidence with a healthy, functional smile. Whether you need to replace one or multiple teeth, we provide customized solutions to meet your needs. Our dentures are designed using high-quality materials, ensuring durability, comfort, and a natural appearance.
Partial Dentures: Partial dentures are perfect for patients who have lost one or more teeth. A partial denture for one or several teeth is tailored to fit comfortably around your remaining natural teeth, restoring your smile and bite. Removable devices, such as retainers, can be taken out for cleaning and maintenance, making them more convenient for patients to use. Additionally, partial dentures help prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of place, ensuring long-term oral health and stability.
Full Dentures: Complete Restoration for Missing Teeth
People who have lost all their teeth in their upper or lower arch can achieve full coverage with full dentures. Full dentures are prosthetic teeth set into a gum-colored base, giving the appearance of a complete set of natural teeth. These dentures restore essential functions such as chewing, speaking, and confidently smiling. For added stability, you may also consider implant-supported dentures, which offer enhanced security and comfort. We can advise you from our own experience on which option will be best for you depending on your specific situation and requirements.

FAQ's
What’s the difference between a partial denture and a full denture?
A partial denture changes multiple missing teeth while you still have some natural teeth in place. It typically uses clasps or attachments that anchor to the existing teeth for support.
A full denture (complete denture) is used when all the teeth in the upper one or lower arch are not there. It rests directly on the gums and underlying bone.
How do I know whether I need a partial or full denture?
The right type depends on:
- How many teeth you’re missing
- The health of your remaining teeth
- The condition of your gums and jawbone
- Budget and comfort preferences
During your visit at Mackenzie Dentistr, we’ll perform an exam, take any necessary imaging, and recommend the option that will give you the best function, appearance, and long-term stability.
What is the process for getting dentures?
Getting dentures typically involves:
- A full evaluation of your oral healt
- Taking impressions or digital scan
- Creating models and doing “try-in” fitting
- Making adjustments before final placemen
If extractions are needed, you may wear a temporary denture while healing. Your dentist will review a personalized timeline based on your treatment needs.
How long do dentures last, and will they feel natural?
With proper care, most dentures last 7–10 years before needing repair or replacement.
At first, dentures may feel bulky or unfamiliar, but most patients adapt within a few weeks as the muscles and soft tissues adjust. Follow-up visits help ensure the fit stays comfortable.
Will I be able to eat and speak normally with dentures?
Yes — dentures are designed to help restore your ability to chew and speak clearly.
During the adjustment phase you may:
- Start with softer foods
- Cut food into smaller pieces
- Avoid very sticky or hard items
If you want added stability, implant-supported dentures can provide a more secure option.
How do I care for my dentures and oral health?
Daily care includes:
- Removing and brushing dentures with a non-abrasive cleaner
- Soaking them overnight in water or denture solution
- Brushing your gums, tongue, and any remaining teeth
- Keeping up with regular checkups to maintain fit and oral health
This prevents odour, staining, gum irritation, and premature wear.
What if my dentures become loose or uncomfortable over time?
Changes in the jawbone are normal after tooth loss, and this can cause dentures to loosen.
Common solutions include:
- A denture relin (reshaping the base)
- Adjustments to reduce sore spots
- Creating a new denture when needed
- Discussing implant-supporte options for added stability
If your denture slips, rubs, clicks, or no longer feels secure, schedule a visit so we can restore comfort and function.
