Why Complete Dentures?

When every natural tooth has been lost to decay, injury or periodontal disease, full dentures restore chewing ability, clear speech and facial support. Modern plates are lighter, more lifelike and custom-shaded to match your gums and preferred tooth colour.

Traditional Dentures

  • Crafted from durable acrylic resin (lighter and sturdier than older porcelain sets).
  • Fabricated from detailed impressions and a wax try-in to fine-tune fit.
  • Final plate delivered 6–8 weeks after extractions—once tissues have healed.

Immediate Dentures are placed the same day teeth are removed, protecting tissues and preserving appearance during healing. They’re relined as gums shrink, then replaced by a permanent set.

Snap-On Implant-Supported Dentures

Dental implants take dentures to the next level:

  • Titanium posts fuse to the jaw, stopping bone loss.
  • Low-profile locators click into the denture, keeping it firmly in place—no messy adhesive.
  • Chew more foods, speak more clearly and laugh without worry.
  • Many patients can choose TeethXpress® for fixed teeth the very same day.
  • Implant dentures often last 20 + years, offsetting their higher upfront cost.

Traditional vs Snap-On:
Core Differences

Implants Restorations
Stability

Traditional plates may shift unless adhesive is used; snap-on dentures remain locked until you remove them.

Implants Restorations
Bone Health

Conventional dentures sit on the gums, so bone gradually shrinks. Implants stimulate bone, helping preserve facial contours.

Implants Restorations
Taste & Comfort

A full upper plate covers the palate; implant dentures are usually palate-free, so food tastes normal and speech feels natural.

Implants Restorations
Longevity & Maintenance

Acrylic plates typically need to be replaced or relined every 5–8 years. Implant components last decades with simple hygiene and annual checks.

Implants Restorations

Candidacy & Safety

Most healthy adults qualify for implants if they have sufficient bone and healthy gums. Low bone density, active gum disease or certain medical conditions may require grafting or a staged approach first. Dr. Luzar will determine the safest, most effective path for you.
