Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Most patients with tooth loss are good candidates for dentures, but you’ll still need to come in beforehand for an examination so that we can ensure your restoration will be set up for success. During this consultation, we’ll determine which type of denture best suits your needs as well as if any preparatory procedures need to be completed. In some cases, patients with existing oral health issues like gum disease or tooth decay will require treatment before they can receive their dentures.
Types of Dentures
Here’s more about the options we might recommend for addressing your tooth loss:
Partial Dentures
For patients who are missing multiple teeth throughout the mouth, partial dentures are often suggested. These consist of a gum-colored base combined with replacement prosthetic teeth, and they’re designed to fit around your remaining natural teeth with the assistance of anchoring clasps. They can be removed, making them very easy to clean and properly care for.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are ideal for patients who are missing one or both dental arches. Like partials, they also utilize a discreet, gum-colored base with a beautiful row of lifelike prosthetic teeth. However, they rely on a combination of muscle control, suction, and adhesives to remain in place. This solution can improve your bite power and overall quality of life considerably.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures combine all of the perks of full dentures with the ingenuity of dental implants. The implant posts are embedded into the jawbone, which provides an unwavering foundation for the future customized denture to be attached. This means that eating, speaking, and smiling will feel like a breeze!
The Benefits of Dentures
You’ll unlock countless benefits when you rebuild your smile with dentures, including:
- They restore your ability to bite, chew, and speak normally.
- They’re fully customized for your mouth, meaning they’ll look natural and feel comfortable to wear.
- Dentures can last for 7+ years with good maintenance, and they’re fairly easy to maintain and clean.
- They help to preserve a more youthful facial shape, which bolsters a patient’s self-esteem.
