Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Patients who are missing several teeth, or even one or both arches, are often great candidates for dentures, but you’ll need to come in first for an appointment with our team. During this consultation, we’ll carefully examine your mouth, note the extent of your tooth loss, and review all of your possible options with you, considering your needs as well as your lifestyle tendencies. In any case, we recommend that missing teeth be replaced in a timely manner, as to avoid additional oral health problems down the road such as gum disease, decay, or even additional tooth loss.
Types of Dentures
Thanks to several recent advancements in technology, dentures are now more natural-looking than ever before, in addition to being outstandingly comfortable to wear. Better yet, dentures are highly versatile and can be customized based on a patient’s individual circumstances. Depending on your situation, we might recommend one of the following options:
Partial Dentures
As their name implies, partial dentures only replace some of the teeth. By attaching a clasp to your remaining natural teeth, the gum-colored base and custom prosthetic teeth can seamlessly fill the gaps left in your existing smile. Partials are conveniently removable, making cleaning and caring for them a breeze!
Full Dentures
Traditional full dentures are designed to restore an entire arch of missing teeth (or both) by anchoring to the jawbone and gums with the help of special adhesives and careful muscle control. They feature a lifelike, gum-colored base made from acrylic, as well as porcelain or ceramic replacement teeth that look and function exactly like the pearly whites they’re replacing.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures take the lifelike aesthetic benefits of traditional dentures and merge them with dental implants, which have completely revolutionized the tooth replacement process. Using small titanium rods that are surgically placed beneath the gumline, we can actually restore the missing roots of the lost teeth, in addition to their chewing surfaces.
The Benefits of Dentures
There are countless benefits that you can enjoy when you decide to receive dentures. Some of the most notable ones include:
- Dentures effectively restore your bite, allowing you to chew all your favorite foods with the utmost ease and without any pain.
- Dentures can be completely customized to address your tooth loss, no matter how many teeth are lost or where they are located within the mouth.
- Cleaning dentures is a relatively straightforward task, assuming you have access to a toothbrush and mild dish soap. Denture-cleansing solutions can also be used.
- They’re considered a cost-effective solution and can be adjusted, repaired, or replaced as needed.
- Wearing dentures helps to preserve the shape of your face, granting you a more youthful appearance.
