Explore care for Simcoe patientsMatch the replacement to the teeth you have
Different patterns of tooth loss need different designs.
A complete denture replaces all teeth in an arch. A partial denture fills selected spaces while working around remaining teeth, which also need to be assessed and cared for as part of the plan.
At our Port Dover office, Simcoe residents can compare these approaches with other suitable replacements. We discuss stability, appearance, cleaning and the practical experience of wearing a removable appliance.
Your care, step by step
Choosing a denture design
01
Assess support
The gums, jaw relationships and any remaining teeth are reviewed before deciding how the appliance will be supported.
02
Plan and fit
Records and fitting stages help establish tooth position, appearance and how the denture meets the opposite arch.
03
Adapt and maintain
Follow-up adjustments and daily care instructions help manage the transition to the new appliance.
A detail worth discussing
Keep remaining teeth in the plan.
A partial denture does not replace cleaning or maintaining the teeth that support it. Their condition may affect the design and future changes to the appliance.
Ask which remaining teeth are involved in the proposed design and how you would clean around the attachments. If further dental treatment is being considered, discuss its order before the appliance is made. The conversation should also cover what happens if your mouth changes later, including whether adjustment, repair or replacement may be needed. These details help you compare the complete care plan rather than choosing only by how the new teeth will look.

Comparing complete and partial options
Have a question about your situation? Our team can help you plan a visit.
Can one jaw have a partial and the other a complete denture?
Yes, when appropriate. Each arch and the way they work together must be assessed.
Can I expect immediate normal eating?
There is usually an adaptation period. The team can discuss practice, food choices and when discomfort needs an adjustment.
Can implants be considered later?
Possibly. Mention the interest during planning because future implant support may affect the preferred design and sequence.

Could an existing denture be adapted for implant support? Bring yours from Simcoe so its fit and condition can be considered alongside a possible new appliance.
Denture Repairs and Relines
Filing a sore spot or gluing a cracked denture can complicate repair. Simcoe residents can bring the pieces for a fit assessment and discuss professional options.
