Am I a Candidate for Partial Dentures?
You may be a candidate for partial dentures if you have one or more missing teeth with healthy natural teeth remaining on both sides. Michael Fijolek, RD evaluates the following at your free consultation:
| Factor | Good Candidate | May Need Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Number of missing teeth | 2 or more missing, not all teeth | All teeth missing → complete denture |
| Remaining teeth health | Stable natural teeth to anchor clasps | Severely compromised teeth → extractions first |
| Gum and bone health | Healthy gums, adequate bone ridge | Active gum disease → treat first |
| Budget | Looking for most affordable tooth replacement | Budget for implants → see dental implants page |
| Timeline | Need teeth replaced within 3–5 weeks | Willing to wait 3–6 months → implants |
| CDCP eligibility | Income under $90K/year → partial covered | Income $90K+ → private pay rates apply |
Types of Partial Dentures Available in Hamilton Ontario
1. Acrylic Partial Denture (Most Common — CDCP Covered)
The most commonly fitted partial denture in Hamilton. Acrylic base with pink gum-coloured resin holding the replacement teeth. Covered at $0 under CDCP for eligible patients. Wire clasps attach to remaining natural teeth for retention. Easy to adjust and repair. Lifespan 5–8 years.
2. Cast Metal (Chrome-Cobalt) Partial Denture
A thin metal framework supports the acrylic saddles and replacement teeth. More durable and less bulky than all-acrylic. Strongest bite force of all partial denture types. Lifespan 10–15 years. CDCP may partially cover. Best for patients with strong natural teeth and a demanding bite.
3. Flexible (Valplast) Partial Denture
Made from flexible thermoplastic nylon with tooth-coloured clasps — no visible metal. More comfortable and aesthetic than traditional partials. Best for anterior (front) teeth replacement or patients with metal sensitivities. Lifespan 5–10 years. Limited CDCP coverage.
