  1. 7 Different Types of Dentures: Which One Is Best for You? When it comes to restoring your smile and oral function, dentures remain one of the most effective and accessible solutions. But did you know there are several different types of dentures — each suited for unique dental needs, lifestyles, and preferences? At Mayfair Denture Clinic, we help patients across Calgary understand their options and choose what is best for them. Here’s a breakdown of the 7 most common types of dentures, including who they’re ideal for and how to decide which one is right for you. 1. Complete Dentures (Full Dentures) Best for: Individuals who are missing all their teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches. Complete dentures are removable prosthetics that replace all missing teeth in your mouth. They rest on the gums and are typically made from acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal. Pros: Affordable, non-invasive Cons: May need periodic relining or replacement due to gum shrinkage 2. Partial Dentures Best for: Patients missing several teeth but still have healthy natural teeth remaining. Partial dentures are made with a metal or acrylic base and attach to existing teeth using clasps. They help restore chewing function and prevent natural teeth from shifting. Pros: Less invasive than implants, helps preserve remaining teeth Cons: May feel bulky at first, visible clasps on some models

  2. 3. Immediate Dentures Best for: Individuals who need teeth extracted and want to avoid being without teeth during healing. Immediate dentures are prepared in advance and placed right after your teeth are removed. This allows you to leave the clinic with a complete smile the same day. Pros:No “toothless” period Cons: May require adjustments or relining after healing 4. Surgical Dentures Best for: Patients undergoing oral surgery who need custom-fitted dentures to work with their treatment plan. These dentures are created in tandem with surgical procedures, such as extractions or bone grafts. At Mayfair, we tailor surgical dentures in Calgary to match your post-op oral structure and speed up recovery. Pros: Customized for surgical needs, helps shape healing gums Cons: More planning and follow-ups required 5. Implant-Supported Dentures (Dentures Over Implants) Best for: Patients seeking a more stable, long-term solution to traditional dentures. These dentures are anchored to dental implants that are surgically placed in your jawbone. They’re available as either removable or fixed options. Pros: Extremely stable, natural-looking, better bone preservation Cons: Higher upfront cost, requires surgery

  3. 6. Overdentures Best for: Patients with a few remaining natural teeth or implants to support the denture. An overdenture sits on top of existing teeth roots or implants, providing added stability. This can help maintain jawbone and give a more secure fit. Pros: Excellent fit, preserves bone Cons: May require tooth preparation or implants 7. Flexible Dentures Best for: Patients looking for comfort and a more natural-feeling option. Made of softer materials like thermoplastics, flexible dentures adapt to the contours of your mouth. They’re ideal for patients who find traditional rigid dentures uncomfortable. Pros: Lightweight, less likely to cause sore spots Cons: May not be suitable for severe tooth loss or advanced cases So, Which Type of Denture Is Best for You? The best type of denture depends on several factors: •Number of teeth missing •Condition of your gums and bone •Budget and insurance coverage •Desired comfort and aesthetics •Eligibility for the Canadian Dental Care Plan At Mayfair Denture Clinic in Calgary, we offer comprehensive consultations to help you determine the ideal option.
