We help you rediscover your smile with natural looking, comfortable dentures tailored to your lifestyle.
What Are Full Dentures and Are They Right for You?
If you’ve lost all your teeth in the upper or lower jaw—or both—full dentures might be the right fit for your next chapter. They’re more than just a cosmetic fix. They restore chewing ability, speech clarity, and overall facial structure, giving you back control over daily comfort and confidence.
At Granada Dental, we’ve supported countless patients in Sherwood Park with personalized full denture care. Whether you’re new to dentures or exploring a replacement, our focus is helping you move forward with clarity and peace of mind.
Types of Full Dentures Available
Depending on your situation, you’ll have a few different options—each offering specific advantages:
Immediate Dentures
Made in advance and placed right after your natural teeth are removed. You leave the office with teeth in place the same day, but adjustments are usually needed as your gums heal.
Conventional Full Dentures
These are fitted after your gum tissue has healed—typically about 6–8 weeks after extractions. They provide a more stable and refined fit.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Combines traditional dentures with the security of dental implants for added stability and less movement—especially helpful for lower jaws.
We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each so you can make an informed decision that supports your comfort, function, and appearance.
Why People Choose Full Dentures
Tooth loss can feel overwhelming, but full dentures provide a reliable solution that’s stood the test of time. Here’s why they remain a preferred choice for many Sherwood Park residents:
Affordable and accessible compared to full-mouth implants
Custom-fit design tailored to your bite, jaw, and facial shape
Restored chewing function—so you can enjoy meals again
Improved speech clarity and confidence in conversation
Support for facial muscles, helping reduce a sunken or aged appearance
They’re not just about restoring teeth—they help restore routines, relationships, and self-confidence.
