Dentures in Windsor

Full and Partial Dentures Tailored to You

Losing teeth can feel like a big adjustment. It affects how you eat, how you speak, and often how you feel about your smile. Dentures have been used to replace missing teeth for generations, and modern dentures are more comfortable, more natural-looking, and better fitting than the dentures many people remember from their parents or grandparents.

At Good Smile Dental in Windsor, we offer full dentures, partial dentures, and implant-supported dentures, with each option tailored to your mouth, your budget, and how much support you would like.

What Are Dentures?

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth. They are custom-made to fit your mouth, and are designed to look like natural teeth and gums. There are several types, suited to different situations.

Full Dentures

Full (or complete) dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. They rest on the gum tissue and are held in place by suction and the natural shape of your mouth. Full dentures are typically chosen when all the teeth in one or both jaws have been lost or need to be removed.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth when some natural teeth remain. They attach to the remaining teeth using clasps or precision attachments, and fill in the gaps while keeping the rest of your bite stable. Partial dentures help prevent neighbouring teeth from drifting into the gap over time.

Implant-Supported Dentures

Implant-supported dentures (sometimes called snap-in dentures) combine dentures with dental implants for added stability. Two or more implants are placed in the jaw, and the denture clips onto them. This option holds the denture firmly in place, which means more confidence when eating and speaking, and generally less of the slipping that some patients experience with traditional dentures.

Is a Denture Right for Me?

Dentures can be a good option for many people, but they are not the only way to replace missing teeth. The right approach depends on a few things:

  • How many teeth are missing and where they are in your mouth
  • The condition of your gums and remaining teeth
  • Your jawbone health, particularly if implant-supported dentures are an option
  • Your budget and how soon you’d like the gap addressed
  • Whether you’d prefer a removable option (denture) or a fixed option (bridge or implant)

During your consultation, we will talk through dentures alongside alternatives like dental bridges and dental implants, so you can make a decision based on the full picture.

The Denture Process at Our Windsor Clinic

Getting dentures typically takes several appointments over a few weeks to make sure the final result fits well and feels comfortable.

  1. Consultation and planning. We examine your mouth, take any X-rays needed, and discuss which type of denture suits you best. We will also provide a quote.
  2. Impressions and measurements. We take impressions of your gums (and any remaining teeth) and measure your bite. These are used to design your custom denture.
  3. Try-in appointment. Before the final denture is made, you try on a wax version so we can check the fit, colour, and how it looks. Adjustments are made at this stage.
  4. Fitting your denture. Once you’re happy with the try-in, the final denture is made and fitted. We’ll show you how to put it in and take it out, and give you home-care instructions.
  5. Adjustment visits. Small adjustments are normal in the first few weeks. We schedule follow-up visits to fine-tune the fit and address any sore spots.

For implant-supported dentures, the process is longer, as it includes time for the implants to fuse with the jawbone before the denture is attached.

Cost of Dentures and Payment Options

The cost of dentures in Windsor depends on the type (full, partial, or implant-supported), the materials used, and whether any extractions or other preparation work is needed beforehand. We will provide a personalised quote at the consultation, so you know what’s involved before deciding.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does It Take to Get Dentures?

The denture process typically takes several weeks and involves multiple appointments for impressions, try-in, fitting, and adjustments. Implant-supported dentures take longer, as they include healing time for the implants to fuse with the jawbone.

Can I Sleep With My Dentures In?

Most dentists recommend taking your dentures out at night so your gum tissue can rest and to clean the dentures properly. Sleeping with dentures regularly has been linked with a higher risk of gum irritation and infections.

How Much Do Dentures Cost in Windsor?

The cost of dentures varies depending on the type (full, partial, or implant-supported), materials, and any preparation work needed. We provide a personalised quote after an initial consultation, and flexible payment options are available.

What Is the Difference Between Full and Partial Dentures?

Full dentures replace all the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain, filling in the gaps while attaching to the remaining teeth for support.

How Long Do Dentures Last?

With good care, dentures typically last 5 to 10 years before needing to be relined or replaced. The shape of your gums and jawbone naturally changes over time, which is why regular check-ups are important to keep the fit comfortable.

Will Dentures Affect How I Eat or Speak?

There's usually an adjustment period of a few weeks when you first get dentures. Starting with softer foods and practising speaking can help. Most patients adapt well, though it can take a little time to feel completely natural.

Can Dentures Be Repaired If They Crack or Break?

Yes, in most cases, dentures can be repaired. Bring the denture in (along with any broken pieces if it has fractured), and we can assess whether it can be repaired or whether a new denture is needed. 

Avoid trying to glue it yourself, as household adhesives can damage the denture.

What Are Implant-Supported Dentures?

Implant-supported dentures clip onto two or more dental implants placed in the jaw. They're more stable than traditional dentures and reduce the slipping some patients experience, particularly with lower dentures. Treatment takes longer and costs more than standard dentures, but for many patients, the added stability is worth it.
