Understanding Dentures

We provide full-mouth restorations at Riverwalk Dental, which means we replace all the teeth in a patient’s mouth. While modern dentistry has created means of permanently affixing false teeth (prosthodontics), such as all-on-four implants, there are still many cases in which the patient benefits from dentures.


Dentures are distinguished by being removable, but they still require permanent changes to the patient’s mouth. Partial dentures, which only replace the front teeth, require the reshaping of the teeth on either side of them. Full-mouth dentures require all the remaining teeth in a jaw to be removed. This is often a sticking point for patients, but it’s usually done because the patient does not have the bone support for implants and should not or does not want to receive a bone graft.


As an office which values our patients’ comfort, we regularly adjust our patients’ dentures throughout their lives to ensure they are comfortable and working properly. If cared for properly, dentures can make a big improvement in the life of a person suffering from poor oral health.


Riverwalk Dental is located at 540 6th Avenue SE, Calgary, Alberta, T2G 1K5, Canada. To schedule an appointment, call 1-403-456-4994 or visit RiverwalkDental.Ca.
