Dentures in Winnipeg
Dentures in Winnipeg offer an affordable way to replace missing teeth and maintain good oral health. At our dental clinic, we use only the best materials to ensure every patient receives attentive, personalized care throughout the entire process.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures consist of artificial teeth attached to a custom-designed acrylic or metal framework. Full dentures replace all the teeth in an upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures fill gaps from individual missing teeth, helping prevent your natural teeth from shifting. Immediate dentures can even be provided on the same day as tooth extraction, so patients never need to worry about leaving the clinic without a complete smile.
Our dentists collaborate closely with skilled technicians to ensure that your dentures match your unique facial structure, providing a comfortable and natural-looking smile for our patients. We also offer quick, reliable denture repairs, knowing that unexpected incidents can occur, and guide you gently through the healing process to ensure your new dentures feel just right.
Dentures vs Implants
When comparing options, many patients wonder which solution best ensures long-term functionality. Traditional dentures rest on the gums, while dental implants integrate directly into the jawbone just like your natural dental roots, providing strong support for either implant-supported dentures or individual crowns. Implants help stabilize the whole jaw, significantly reduce bone loss, and allow for slimmer, more stable prosthetics. Implant-supported dentures attach securely to dental implants, preventing unwanted movement while talking or eating. While dental implants sometimes require a brief healing period, many patients initially choose immediate dentures for convenience and later transition to implants, balancing their budget with optimal results.
How much do Dentures cost?
The cost of dentures in Winnipeg can vary depending on your specific dental needs and the type of denture you choose. For example, complete dentures typically range from $2,500 to $5,000 per arch, while partial dentures can cost anywhere from $2000 to $4,500, depending on materials and complexity. If you're considering implant-supported dentures, the price might add $5,000 or more, as it includes the placement of dental implants. Other factors, such as immediate dentures, future denture repairs, and adjustments, can also impact the total cost. During your consultation, our dentist will walk you through your options, provide a detailed estimate, and discuss payment plans to ensure you feel confident moving forward.
Full Dentures in Winnipeg — Conventional & Implant-Supported Options
Advanced tooth decay or gum disease can sometimes lead to the removal of remaining natural teeth. When all teeth in one or both arches require extraction, complete dentures offer a practical and economical solution to restore both appearance and chewing function.
Conventional full dentures are crafted after gum tissues have healed, while immediate dentures are placed immediately after extractions, ensuring patients maintain their smile throughout the recovery process. Immediate dentures typically require adjustments as tissues settle and heal.
To enhance stability, two to six dental implants can transform traditional dentures into implant-supported dentures, reducing the likelihood of future denture repairs and offering a more natural feel. Our Winnipeg dentists will carefully explain your options, provide exceptional care, and closely monitor your progress at every appointment.
Partial Dentures in Winnipeg
Whether you are missing one tooth or several, partial dentures offer an economical solution to replace those missing teeth and prevent nearby natural teeth from shifting.
A streamlined cobalt-chromium framework fits securely around your gums and natural teeth, providing patients with a comfortable appliance that isn’t bulky. Natural-looking artificial teeth and gum-coloured acrylic blend seamlessly for a realistic appearance. When bone density allows, our dentist can strategically place dental implants to create implant-supported dentures, which are secure yet removable for cleaning. This often minimizes the need for long-term denture repairs and helps preserve bone density.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures withstand chewing and biting forces far better than traditional dentures. Secured by two or more dental implants, these dentures don’t irritate or rub the gums. On the lower jaw, they eliminate the common problem of forward shifting found with conventional dentures.
Patients appreciate the increased security and confidence that implant-supported dentures provide. Teeth remain firmly in place while speaking, eating, or laughing, and the open-palate design on upper dentures significantly enhances the ability to taste food. Implants also stimulate bone growth, dramatically reducing bone loss throughout the whole jaw and extending the lifespan of the dentures, ultimately minimizing future denture repairs.
Many Winnipeg patients begin their denture journey with immediate dentures and then transition to implant-supported dentures once healing is complete. Others find the security of moving into implants right away an ideal option. Whatever path you choose, our team will be there to support you at every stage.
