Implant Retained Dentures
For patients seeking the most secure denture solution, Implant Retained Dentures offer unparalleled stability and comfort. Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, these dentures attach to dental implants anchored in the jawbone.
This innovative solution helps prevent slipping, clicking, or shifting while speaking or eating. Implant retained dentures also promote bone health by stimulating the jaw, reducing the bone loss commonly seen with traditional dentures.
At Pinnacle Denture, we work closely with dental implant specialists to ensure seamless integration of implants and dentures. The result is a secure, natural-feeling smile that enhances your quality of life.

Immediate dentures are dentures that are placed immediately after your natural teeth are removed — so you never have to go without teeth. These dentures are made in advance and inserted on the same day as your extraction, which means you leave your appointment with a complete smile. Because your mouth naturally changes as it heals, immediate dentures are considered a temporary solution and usually require a reline or adjustment as your gums and bone settle. At Pinnace Denture, we guide you through this entire transition with compassionate, personalized care.
Not at all — your dentures will be custom-designed to look natural and flattering to your face shape, skin tone, and smile line. We use high-quality materials and advanced techniques to ensure your smile doesn’t just look realistic — it looks like you. At Pinnace Denture, we take the time to fine-tune the shape, shade, and fit so that your dentures look natural, not artificial.
On average, dentures last 5 to 7 years, depending on how well they’re maintained and how much your oral structures change over time. Even high-quality dentures need to be relined, adjusted, or replaced eventually to ensure optimal fit, comfort, and function. Regular check-ups help extend the life of your dentures and keep your smile feeling secure.
Over time, it’s completely normal for dentures to feel loose — especially if it's been a while since your last adjustment. Your gums and jawbone naturally shrink after tooth loss (a process called bone resorption), which can change how your denture fits. Loose dentures may also indicate that it's time for a reline or a replacement. If you're experiencing movement, discomfort, or clicking, book a visit — we can help restore a snug, comfortable fit.
A reline reshapes the underside of your denture so it fits better against your gums. This is often needed after your mouth heals from extractions or as your bone structure naturally changes with time. Without regular relines, dentures can become loose, uncomfortable, or cause sore spots. At Pinnace Denture, we offer in-clinic same-day relines in many cases — so you can get back to your day with a more secure fit.
It’s almost never too late! Many patients assume they’ve missed the window for implants, but thanks to modern advancements in implant dentistry, even long-time denture wearers may still be candidates. Whether you’re considering implants for the first time or exploring options after years of wearing dentures, Pinnace Denture and Implant Centre can assess your bone health and help you explore implant solutions that suit your needs and budget.
