Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures can be a suitable option for almost anyone who has lost multiple teeth. When you visit us for a consultation, we will examine your mouth to make sure that it is healthy enough to support a prosthetic. For example, you should be free of active gum disease and have enough gum and bone tissue to serve as a base for a denture. Even if you are not a candidate for dentures right away, you might become one after preliminary care.
Types of Dentures
There are a few different types of dentures, each of which comes with its own set of unique advantages. When you attend your consultation, we will recommend the specific type of prosthetic that best fits your circumstances and preferences. Depending on what we discover, we might suggest that you get a partial denture, full denture, or implant denture.
Partial Dentures
As their name implies, partial dentures do not replace an entire arch of missing teeth. Rather, they fit in around the remaining natural teeth, sort of like a puzzle piece that goes exactly where it is needed. Small metal or acrylic clasps help to keep a partial denture in place throughout normal activities.
Full Dentures
A full denture replaces either all of the upper or lower teeth. Natural suction or a bit of adhesive can keep a denture in place during eating and speaking. Since these prosthetics are custom-made and designed to rest comfortably on the gums, they can easily be worn all day.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are anchored in the jawbone via small prosthetic tooth roots, known as dental implants. This makes them incredibly strong and sturdy, and they tend to have a longer lifespan than traditional dentures. Due to the many benefits of dental implants, this is the solution we most often recommend for patients who qualify for it.
The Benefits of Dentures
Some of the most outstanding benefits of dentures include:
- Restores Function: Dentures allow you to chew and speak more effectively, improving daily comfort and confidence.
- Enhances Appearance: Dentures fill gaps caused by missing teeth and support facial muscles, creating a natural, youthful look.
- Custom Fit: Each denture is personalized for comfort and stability, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit throughout the day.
- Improves Oral Health: Dentures help prevent remaining teeth from shifting and reduce the risk of further oral health complications.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to some alternatives, traditional dentures provide an affordable way to restore lost teeth.
