Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
You might be a suitable candidate for dentures if:
- You are missing multiple teeth. If you are missing just one tooth, a bridge or single implant might be a better option for you.
- Your oral tissues are healthy enough to support dentures. Our team will perform a thorough evaluation to determine if you meet this criteria. If your oral health is not currently able to support dentures, it may become so after some preliminary care.
Really, almost any adult who has suffered tooth loss can qualify for dentures.
Types of Dentures
Did you know that there are multiple types of dentures? When you visit us for a tooth replacement consultation, we will determine the best prosthetic for you based on your degree of tooth loss, your oral health, and your personal preferences. We may recommend that you get one of the following:
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are like a puzzle piece that fits in around your remaining natural teeth. This type of prosthetic is held in place with the help of small acrylic or metal clasps. If you still have some healthy teeth remaining, this could be an excellent option for you.
Full Dentures
A full denture replaces either all of the upper or lower teeth. Natural suction or mild adhesive helps it to stay in place during eating and speaking. Full dentures usually have an acrylic base along with porcelain or acrylic teeth. They are always customized to rest as comfortably as possible on the gum tissues.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures do not rely on clasps, suction, or adhesive to stay in place. Rather, they are anchored in the jawbone by prosthetic tooth roots. Implant dentures tend to be stronger, longer-lasting, and more natural-feeling than their traditional counterparts. Even though they have a somewhat lengthy treatment process, the good results are well worth it!
The Benefits of Dentures
Some of the top benefits of dentures include:
- Dentures restore your ability to chew and enjoy a wide variety of foods, which can improve your nutrition and overall health.
- They enhance your speech, allowing you to communicate clearly and confidently.
- Dentures support facial muscles, helping to maintain your natural appearance and prevent a sunken look. Implant dentures can even support your jawbone and prevent it from shrinking.
- They boost self-esteem by giving you a beautiful, complete smile.
- Dentures are custom-made for comfort and a secure fit.
- They represent a cost-effective solution for tooth loss.
