Who Needs Dentures?
If you have lost some or all of your teeth due to an accident, illness, or inadequate oral care, your dentist or prosthodontist may recommend dentures as a replacement option. There are two main types, depending on how many natural teeth remain:
Complete Dentures
Used when all of the teeth in an arch are missing. Complete dentures can be made for the upper or lower jaw and are secured by suction and/or an oral adhesive. They are removable.
Construction: An acrylic base that mimics the look of gums, with acrylic or porcelain teeth. The base is custom-fitted to the contours of your arch for stability while eating, speaking, or swallowing.
Partial Dentures
Used when some natural teeth remain. A common solution when multiple teeth are missing, or when surrounding teeth are not strong enough to support alternatives such as dental bridges.
Construction: A metal framework with teeth attached where teeth are missing. Clasps or arms fit around some of the remaining natural teeth to provide stability during normal oral function.
The Benefits of Implant-Supported Dentures
An implant-supported denture is a removable denture that is secured by dental implants. Unlike regular dentures, which rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures are anchored to the jawbone.
They are typically recommended for patients who have lost all of their teeth in a jaw but have enough healthy jawbone to support the implants. Your dentist will assess your bone and gum health to determine whether this is right for you.
Which Denture Is Right for You?
- ✓ Missing almost all teeth: Complete dentures may be the best fit.
- ✓ Missing a few teeth on the top or bottom: Partial dentures may be the solution.
- ✓ Want a more natural look: Custom dentures are designed to match the shape, structure, and colour of your natural teeth.
- ✓ Want added stability: Ask about implant-supported dentures.
Your dentist will recommend the best option based on the look you want, whether you want to remove them, and the amount of tooth loss or decay you have.
Denture Care & Maintenance
Cleaning your dentures daily is crucial for their longevity and helps prevent bacterial buildup, which can otherwise lead to decay or infections in your remaining teeth and gums.
Rinse After Eating
Remove your dentures and rinse gently with room-temperature water to wash away food and loose particles.
Brush Gently
Use a denture brush or soft-bristled toothbrush with mild soap or denture cleaner, including between the teeth.
Clean Your Mouth
While the dentures are out, clean your gums and any remaining natural teeth.
Soak Overnight
Soak them in water or a mild denture-soaking solution to keep them clean and in shape. Dry them on a clean towel before wearing them again.
How Much Do Dentures Cost?
Dentures are not covered by the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP), although your private health insurance plan may include them. Typical price ranges in Toronto are below. Your dentist will provide an exact estimate after your consultation.
| Denture Type | Typical Range |
|---|---|
| Conventional dentures | $1,200 to $3,000 |
| Immediate dentures | $1,400 to $3,300 |
| Partial dentures | $500 to $2,500 per arch; $600 to $5,000 for a full set |
| Implant-supported dentures | $3,500 to $35,000 for a top or bottom set; $7,000 to $90,000 for a full set |
What Else Affects the Cost?
- ✓ Type of denture: Implant-supported and custom dentures cost more because they require an advanced technique to design and fit.
- ✓ Tooth extractions: If remaining teeth must be removed before you receive dentures, this affects the total cost.
- ✓ Immediate dentures & follow-ups: Temporary dentures worn before your permanent set is ready, and follow-up appointments, can add to the cost.
