Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Almost anyone with missing teeth can benefit from dentures. When you attend your consultation, we will examine your mouth and learn about your goals before we determine which type of tooth replacement may be right for you. Generally speaking, candidates for dentures should have healthy gums and adequate jawbone support for a prosthetic. If you are not a candidate for dentures right away, you might become one after some preliminary care.
Types of Dentures
There are a few different types of dentures, which are suitable for people in different situations. During your consultation, we will recommend the one that best fits your circumstances, goals, and budget. Depending on what we learn, we might advise you to get a partial denture, full denture, or implant denture.
Partial Dentures
As their name indicates, partial dentures are not meant to replace a full arch of teeth. Rather, they fit in around your remaining natural teeth in order to provide you with a better bite and more aesthetically pleasing smile. Small metal or acrylic clasps help them to stay in place throughout the day.
Full Dentures
A full denture replaces either all of the upper or lower teeth. Full dentures are highly customized for each patient, and they are held in place via natural suction or with the help of a bit of adhesive. They are designed to be comfortable for all-day wear and to provide natural-looking aesthetics.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are anchored in the jawbone with the help of prosthetic tooth roots (dental implants). They require a longer and more complex treatment process than non-implant dentures, but they are also much stronger and longer-lasting. We often recommend them as the best form of tooth replacement for qualifying patients.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer some truly remarkable benefits:
- Improved ability to eat: Dentures can allow you to enjoy a wide variety of foods without difficulty, which helps support a balanced diet and overall health.
- Enhanced speech: Dentures help you pronounce words more clearly so you can communicate with confidence in social and professional settings.
- Restored facial appearance: Dentures fill out your cheeks and lips, giving your face a fuller and more youthful look.
- Protection for remaining teeth: Partial dentures help distribute your bite force, reducing strain on your natural teeth.
- Easy maintenance: Taking good care of dentures is neither complicated nor overly time-consuming.
