Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures can be a suitable choice for almost anyone with missing teeth. During your tooth replacement consultation, we will assess the state of your oral tissues, learn about your goals for treatment, and make an appropriate recommendation on your next steps. If dentures are not quite right for you, we may propose an alternative plan. For example, you may need gum disease therapy or other services before your mouth can support dentures. Or, we might suggest that you get a bridge or dental implants instead.
Types of Dentures
There are a few different types of dentures, each of which is suited to different situations. During your consultation, we will recommend the type of prosthetic that best fits your circumstances and preferences. Depending on the details of your situation, you might be a candidate for partial dentures, full dentures, or implant dentures.
Partial Dentures
Instead of replacing a full arch of teeth, a partial denture fits in around the remaining dentition. Small clasps, usually made of metal or acrylic, help partial dentures to stay in place during eating and speaking. They can be a great option if your natural teeth are still in decent health.
Full Dentures
A full denture replaces an entire arch of missing teeth. Suction or a bit of adhesive can help full dentures to remain secure throughout each day. These prosthetics are fully customized for each patient, and they are designed to be as functional and attractive as possible.
Implant Dentures
Instead of relying on clasps, suction, or adhesive to stay in place, implant dentures are anchored in the mouth via prosthetic tooth roots (dental implants). The implants bond with the jawbone and can provide a very strong base of support for artificial teeth. Due to their outstanding stability and strength, we often recommend dental implants as the gold standard of tooth replacement.
The Benefits of Dentures
Some of the most noteworthy benefits of dentures include:
- Restored Appearance: Dentures provide a natural-looking smile, which allows them to enhance facial aesthetics and potentially boost your self-confidence.
- Improved Speech: After you adapt to speaking with dentures, you can expect to be able to communicate clearly and easily.
- Better Chewing Ability: Dentures improve chewing function, allowing you to enjoy a wider variety of foods and maintain good nutrition.
- Cost-Effective: Compared to other tooth replacement options, traditional dentures are generally more affordable and accessible for most patients.
