Am I a better candidate for an overdenture or a standard removable denture?

Most patients are good candidates for either. However, sometimes you’ll require pretreatments for overdentures (implant dentures), such as bone grafting or a sinus lift.

Denture Types and How They Work

Whether you choose removable dentures in East Vancouver or the implant-supported option, we customize the colour and shape of the prosthetic to complement your smile. 

  • Partial Dentures: Partial dentures stand in for partial tooth loss and rely on your remaining teeth, clips, and gravity for support. 
  • Complete Dentures: Complete dentures take over when all teeth are missing. They fit snugly over the gums and use bony ridges, gravity, and suction for stability. 
  • Overdentures: Typically, implant-supported dentures require six or fewer dental implants per arch for a more fixed and stable solution to tooth loss.  

Get Started with a Tooth Replacement Consultation

Your consultation answers all your questions and determines candidacy. You’ll meet with your East Vancouver dentist to discuss your goals and have an exam. 

If you choose implant dentures, we begin treatment planning, which includes image-guided technology and a conversation about what to expect.
