Partial and complete dentures in Montreal
Removable dentures are dental appliances that replace missing teeth and part of the gum. Complete dentures replace all the teeth in the jawbone. Partial dentures replace only a few teeth in the jawbone.
Our Montreal dentists, located near the Papineau metro station, offer removable dentures that offer a wide range of options. Not only are these removable prostheses fitted to your mouth and very stable, but they are also designed to prevent unwanted slipping and falling out, such as during a meal or sneezing.

Why should you get complete or partial removable dentures?
Dentures are one of the options for replacing teeth that have been totally or partially lost. This loss can be due to an accident or to a pathology such as periodontitis or dental cavities. The removable partial denture (RPD) is different from the fixed partial denture (FPP). Your clinical situation will need to be properly assessed and the pros and cons will need to be explained.
Removable dentures play a number of roles. They allow you to chew food (which avoids digestive problems) and improve the look of your smile. They also slow down sagging of the jaws, prevent the loss of lip support and make it easier to speak. Finally, they minimize the loss of other teeth by stabilizing the position of the teeth when the jaws are closed.
How to choose a partial or complete removable denture
The removable partial denture is usually made of acrylic and often stabilized by a metal skeleton. A rigid mesh can also be used to support the replacement teeth of a jawbone. The partial denture is held in place by clasps and is a perfect substitute for natural teeth as it rests on both the gum and the remaining teeth. A dental examination is always recommended before opting for this solution.
A complete removable denture is usually made of acrylic only. It replaces all of the teeth in the upper and lower jaws, resting on the hard palate and gums. The removable full denture is less expensive than a full denture on dental implants. This makes it a cost-effective and practical choice.
How to maintain a removable partial or complete denture
The removable partial denture must be removed and cleaned after each meal. Strict and rigorous hygiene must be observed when wearing a removable denture. It is important to brush teeth, gums and dentures thoroughly after each meal. Unless otherwise indicated, removable dentures should generally be removed overnight.
They are also soaked in a denture bath filled with an appropriate solution. Dentures should never be left to dry in the open air. This could alter their acrylic composition.
