Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
When determining whether dentures are a good choice for you, our team will need to consider a number of factors. For example, the number of teeth being replaced makes a difference; dentures are more likely to be recommended for extensive cases of tooth loss. Furthermore, we’ll need to confirm that the gum tissue that will support your dentures is in good health overall. Rest assured that we’ll go over all of your options for tooth replacement so that you can pick the one that’s truly right for your smile.
Types of Dentures
Our practice is proud to offer traditional partial and full dentures along with state-of-the-art implant dentures. At your initial consultation, we can help you figure out which type is best suited for restoring your smile. Here are the basics that you will want to keep in mind when it comes to choosing the right denture.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture consists of a certain number of lifelike replacement teeth, a gum-colored base, and metal clasps. This type of prosthesis can fit in the gaps in your smile like a puzzle piece, thus replacing missing teeth in different parts of the mouth.
Full Dentures
A full denture comes with an entire arch of replacement teeth as well as a gum-colored base that will stay in place with the help of natural suction. This is a popular option for patients who have lost all of the teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are unique in that they’re anchored to dental implant posts that have been surgically inserted into the jaw. The posts help prevent the prosthesis from slipping, and they also act as artificial tooth roots that stimulate the jaw in order to prevent bone loss. Some implant dentures are removable, but others are fixed and can be brushed like natural teeth.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures remain a popular tooth replacement option thanks to the many benefits they provide:
- They can restore your bite and allow you to eat more kinds of foods.
- They can help you speak more clearly when it counts the most.
- They are relatively easy to take care of.
- They can help preserve the shape of your face.
- They can potentially last for 10 years or more with proper maintenance.
