Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
For individuals who have lost several (or all) teeth, dentures can be an excellent solution to restore both functionality and appearance. During your initial consultation at our office, our dental professionals will thoroughly assess your oral health to determine if you are a suitable candidate for dentures. It is important that your mouth is free from active gum disease, as well as possesses adequate gum and bone tissue to provide a stable foundation for the prosthetic.
If you currently do not meet all the necessary criteria, our team may recommend preliminary treatments, such as periodontal therapy or bone augmentation, to help prepare your mouth for tooth replacement. With the right care and preparation, almost anyone can get dentures!
Types of Dentures
Did you know there are different types of dentures? Each comes with its own unique benefits. During your consultation, we will examine your mouth and determine which type of prosthetic best fits your situation. Depending on what we learn, we may tell you that a partial denture, full denture, or implant denture would serve your needs.
Partial Dentures
As their name indicates, partial dentures do not replace a full arch of missing teeth. Rather, they fit in around the remaining natural teeth, almost like a puzzle piece that goes exactly where it is needed. Small clasps, made of either metal or acrylic, help to keep a partial denture in place throughout normal activities like eating and speaking.
Full Dentures
A full denture replaces an entire arch of lost teeth (either all the upper or lower teeth). Natural suction or adhesive can keep this type of prosthetic in place during eating and speaking. Full dentures are custom-made for each patient and designed for all-day wear.
Implant Dentures
Rather than relying on suction or adhesive to remain secure in the mouth, implant dentures are anchored directly in the jawbone with the help of prosthetic tooth roots (dental implants). Although implant dentures have a longer treatment process than non-implant alternatives, they offer outstanding stability and strength that cannot be beat.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer some remarkable benefits, including the following:
- Restores Function: Dentures make it possible to chew a wide variety of foods and speak clearly, which can greatly improve daily comfort and boost self-confidence.
- Enhances Appearance: By filling the spaces left by missing teeth and supporting your facial muscles, dentures help create a full, natural, and youthful-looking smile.
- Custom Fit: Every denture is carefully crafted and tailored to the unique shape of your mouth, providing a secure, comfortable fit for all-day wear.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Traditional dentures are often more affordable compared to other tooth replacement options, making them a practical way to restore your smile.
- Supports Overall Health: With improved chewing ability, dentures allow you to enjoy a more varied and nutritious diet, contributing to better overall health and wellness.
