If you’re dealing with missing or damaged teeth and want to enhance your appearance and confidence, dentures may be the solution. There’s nothing quite like the feeling of seeing yourself in the mirror with a new set of dentures for the first time. Sure, your face might ache from smiling so much initially, but the joy it brings is priceless.
It’s important to remember that dentures come in various types. Are you in the market for a new set? There are several factors to think about before making a decision. Maybe you only need to replace a few teeth instead of an entire set, or perhaps you’re curious about the benefits of digital dentures. Whatever your situation, you’re eager to improve your life with dentures.
At St. Boniface Denture Clinic, we take pride in being Manitoba’s foremost experts in denture technology. With our team’s commitment and top-notch quality, you’ll find the Denturist in Winnipeg you’ve been searching for. We’ve put together a comprehensive guide outlining the different types of dentures we offer. Take a look before making your final decision, and choose the denture that best suits your needs.
Complete Dentures
Complete dentures replace all of the teeth in a mouth and rest on the gums rather than being anchored to existing teeth like dental bridges. If you have multiple missing teeth causing ongoing issues, complete dentures could be the solution you need. With a new set of full dentures, you’ll not only improve your appearance but also enhance your ability to chew food and boost your confidence.
At St. Boniface Denture Clinic, we provide four types of dentures:
- Standard Dentures: These are quality dentures made with typical tooth shades and shapes.
- Standard Dentures with High-Quality Teeth: Traditional dentures with premium tooth shades and shapes, offer more options.
- Immediate Dentures: These dentures are crafted before extracting the remaining teeth and are inserted on the same day as the extraction. This way, you’re not without teeth!
- Equilibrated (Premium) Dentures: Offering a personalized fit, superior function and aesthetics.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth. They can be made with or without clasps and made with flexible or cast metal materials. Unlike a dental bridge that is cemented to neighbouring teeth, partial dentures are removable. Replacing missing teeth with partial dentures also keeps any neighbouring teeth from shifting which may cause other dental problems in the future. Our Denturist here at St. Boniface Denture Clinic will be able to show you various options suited to your needs and style.
Digital Dentures
Did you know you can wear dentures made from sophisticated computer-aided design and engineering? We offer digital dentures here at St. Boniface Dentures Clinic. It’s a precise, efficient denture-making process that also provides an effective digital management system. When you decide to get digital dentures, you’ll also have a permanent digital record on your prosthesis file.
If you lose or damage your dentures, having a permanent digital record of them on file will make repairing or replacing those dentures quick, easy and without any additional appointments.
Digital Dentures are ideal for those who travel ( would like an extra set) and those living in personal care homes where dentures may become misplaced.
Lower Suction Dentures
St. Boniface Denture Clinic is proud to have completed an in-depth training and certification program with one of Canada’s leading practitioners of SEMCD (Suction Effective Mandibular Complete Denture). We’re now a certified laboratory and clinician for this revolutionary denture technology. Until SEMCD, denture specialists didn’t believe that lower suction dentures could exist — that suction was impossible and that the only way dentures could securely fit in the mouth was with costly implants.
However, with this new technology, it is possible! We use a revolutionary impression technique with a slow setting and high-definition material to capture the cheek and tongue muscles. Such precise teeth impressions work in harmony with your tongue and cheek muscles, creating better comfort and fit.
Our clients receive a consultation and non-invasive exam to see if lower suctions dentures are right for them, and 80% of our patients are candidates. They’re significantly more biocompatible than conventional dentures since they fit and function well inside the mouth. We encourage our clients to check them out, but we also continue to offer traditional dentures.
We love helping people feel better about themselves and believe that dentures have the power to do precisely that. Just remember to find the right type for you and your lifestyle. Give us a call anytime at St. Boniface Denture Clinic.
