Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Tooth loss can cause a range of problems on a daily basis, such as difficulty chewing, decreased confidence, and more. If you are struggling with such issues, dentures may be able to help you. During your consultation, we will make sure your mouth is healthy enough to support a prosthetic before we move forward with designing your beautiful new smile. Even if you are not a candidate for dentures right away, you may become one after some preliminary treatments.
Types of Dentures
During your consultation, we will examine your mouth and recommend the type of prosthetic that best fits your budget, oral health, and degree of tooth loss. We might suggest that you get partial dentures, full dentures, or an implant denture. Here is an overview of each option:
Partial Dentures
If you still have some healthy teeth, we may urge you to get partial dentures, which can fit around your existing dentition. Partial dentures usually have an acrylic base with metal or acrylic attachments to help them stay in place. The teeth are usually made of acrylic as well.
Full Dentures
A full denture replaces either all of the upper or lower teeth. Usually, full dentures have an acrylic base along with acrylic or porcelain teeth. During eating and speaking, they are held in place by natural suction or a bit of special adhesive. Full dentures are always customized to rest as comfortably as possible against the gum tissue.
Implant Dentures
Dental implants are small titanium posts that get inserted into the jawbone, where they can serve as prosthetic tooth roots. When they are used to support a denture, they provide outstanding stability, strength, and function. Due to their many benefits, we often recommend implant dentures as the best tooth replacement option for eligible patients.
The Benefits of Dentures
Some of the most noteworthy benefits of dentures include:
- Dentures are one of the most cost-effective tooth replacement solutions.
- We carefully design dentures so they look and feel as natural as possible.
- Cleaning and maintaining dentures does not require a lot of time or effort.
- Dentures can fill out your cheeks and prevent the sagging, hollow appearance that often accompanies tooth loss.
- Dentures can allow you to eat a wide variety of nutritious foods.
- With proper care, traditional dentures can last for several years.
