Denture Alternatives in Pickering – Permanent & Secure Solutions
If you’re tired of loose, uncomfortable dentures or seeking a more stable, natural-looking solution, Pickering Smile Centre offers advanced alternatives to dentures that allow better function and aesthetics.
At Pickering Smile Centre, we offer many solutions for missing teeth, including several full mouth options which can replace traditional dentures as the only alternative once teeth are beyond repair.
- Implant Overdenture (Secure, But Removable) A secure and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures.
- Teeth in a Day – All-on-Four – All-on-X (Fixed, Non Removable) A permanent full-mouth restoration that gives the look and feel of natural teeth.
Option 1: Implant Overdentures (Removable)
An implant overdenture is a removable prosthetic supported by dental implants, offering improved stability over traditional dentures. This procedure can be done with two or four implants. (Using four implants offers increased stability over two, but needs vary for each patient.)
Advantages
- 60% functionality compared to natural teeth with increased support
- Relatively inexpensive teeth replacement.
- Provides lip support.
- Easy to remove and clean outside of mouth .
Disadvantages of Implant Overdentures
- May be uncomfortable as it can cause sore spots on gum tissue.
- Some movement still possible when chewing and/or speaking.
- Requires periodic reline to improve fit and comfort as bone deteriorates.
Option 2: Teeth in a Day – All-on-Four (Fixed Dental Implants)
A permanent, full-arch dental implant solution, All-on-Four or All-on-X is a revolutionary procedure that replaces missing teeth with a permanent fixed bridge supported by between four and six dental implants. This process enables us to provide the closest experience to real teeth with maximum functionality and beautiful aesthetics.
Advantages of All-on-Four:
- 90% functionality compared to natural teeth.
- Minimizes need for bone grafting.
- Never without teeth as a fixed healing bridge is provided on day of surgery.
- Removes gum and bone disease – Preserves bone and soft tissue.
- No more cavities, 95% success rate over 30 years.
