What Are Dentures?
Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth and tissues. Dentures serve several important purposes for patients with missing teeth, including:
-
Designed to restore oral function and aesthetics.
-
Available as removable appliances for convenience and hygiene.
-
Can be combined with dental crowns, bridges, or veneers for improved fit and appearance.
-
Support facial structures and prevent sagging or changes in appearance caused by missing teeth.
Pristine Dental in Winnipeg creates dentures using precise measurements and patient-specific considerations to ensure optimal comfort and alignment.
Types of Dentures
During your visit to Pristine Dental in Winnipeg, our experienced dental team will evaluate your oral health and recommend the best denture option for you. We use precise digital scans of your jaw and teeth to create dentures that fit comfortably and function naturally.
We offer the following types of dentures:
Complete Dentures
-
Replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
-
Suitable for patients who have lost most or all of their natural teeth.
-
Restores both function and appearance, supporting lips and cheeks.
-
It can be conventional (made after teeth are removed) or immediate (placed immediately after extraction).
Partial Dentures
-
Replace one or more missing teeth while retaining the remaining natural teeth.
-
Typically attached to surrounding teeth with clasps or precision attachments.
-
It can be used in conjunction with crowns, bridges, or veneers to enhance stability and aesthetics.
-
Often recommended when patients still have healthy teeth that can support the appliance.
Full Dentures vs. Partial Dentures
The choice between full and partial dentures depends on the number of natural teeth remaining and their overall condition.
Full dentures are ideal when:
-
All teeth in an arch are missing or must be removed.
-
A complete restoration of the bite and smile is necessary.
-
The remaining teeth are too damaged to support long-term oral health.
Partial dentures are best when:
-
Several healthy teeth remain for support.
-
Preserving natural teeth is a priority.
-
Function and appearance can be restored without the need for extractions.
Both options improve chewing, speech, and appearance, but the better fit depends on your individual dental needs.
How to Care for Your Dentures
Proper care keeps your dentures looking their best and your mouth healthy. Even though dentures are artificial, plaque and tartar can still accumulate on them, leading to staining, bad breath, and potential gum issues.
Follow these daily care tips:
-
Remove and rinse your dentures after your meals to remove food debris.
-
Clean them daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and a non-abrasive denture cleanser.
-
Soak your dentures in warm water overnight to maintain their shape and give your gums a break.
-
Do not use hot water when cleaning your dentures. This could warp the material.
Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential even if you wear full dentures. Regular checkups at Pristine Dental help ensure a comfortable fit and long-lasting results.
What Are Implant-supported Dentures?
Implant-supported dentures are dental prostheses held in place by dental implants positioned in the jawbone. Unlike traditional dentures, which rest primarily on the gums, implant-supported dentures attach to implant-supported connectors for greater stability.
Check out our resource sections and get detailed information on our denture services in Winnipeg.
How Do Implant-supported Dentures Work?
Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone and allowed to integrate with the surrounding bone. Once healing is complete, attachments are used to connect the denture to the implants. The number and position of implants depend on the treatment plan and individual oral conditions.
Benefits of Implant-supported Dentures
Implant-supported dentures can provide improved stability during eating and speaking. They may also reduce denture movement and provide support for chewing. Dental implants can help maintain jawbone stimulation compared with conventional dentures.

Who May Be a Candidate?
Candidates generally require adequate jawbone support and healthy oral tissues. A dental assessment is necessary to evaluate bone levels, gum health, general oral health, and suitability for implant treatment. Bone grafting may sometimes be considered when additional bone support is required.
Implant-supported vs. Traditional Dentures
Traditional dentures are removable appliances that rest on the gums and may use natural teeth for support in partial-denture cases. Implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants, providing additional stability and reducing movement.
Fixed vs. Removable Implant-supported Dentures
Fixed implant-supported dentures remain attached to the implants and are generally removed by a dental professional. Patients can take out removable implant-supported dentures for cleaning, while the dentures remain secured during daily activities.

Are Dentures the Right Choice for You?
The appropriate denture option depends on the number of missing teeth, the condition of the remaining teeth, gum health, jawbone structure, and individual treatment needs. A dental assessment can determine whether traditional, partial, complete, or implant-supported dentures are suitable. At Pristine Dental, our team endeavours to explain the available options, treatment process, expected maintenance, and follow-up requirements so patients can make informed decisions about their oral care.
