Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Losing teeth can set a person up for a host of nasty oral health problems like:
- Inhibiting their ability to chew
- Limiting their dietary options
- Making it difficult to speak clearly
- Setting the gums and remaining teeth up for injury
- Diminishing their confidence in their smile
While many patients who are not missing all the teeth along one of their dental arches may be better served by another type of dental restoration, dentures can be a fantastic option for many people. Virtually anyone with tooth loss can be an excellent candidate for dentures as long as they are free from oral infections, and we’ll be happy to get your mouth ready for your device with appropriate restorative treatments if necessary.
Types of Dentures
After examining your mouth and reviewing your medical history during your consultation, our dentist may recommend:
Partial Dentures
These devices are designed to replace several or many teeth throughout the mouth, and they usually incorporate metal clips designed to attach to the patient’s remaining natural teeth for increased stability. The artificial teeth of a partial denture are usually made from resin or ceramics, and the bases are typically made from gum-colored acrylic.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are similar to partials, but they are designed to replace complete dental arches. Each of these devices is customized to fit the patient’s mouth comfortably while holding its place with natural suction.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures offer superior stability, chewing power, and appliance longevity because they are anchored in place with titanium pieces surgically inserted into the jawbone. These devices can last much longer than traditional restorations and may be excellent for those who are frustrated with the limitations of conventional dentures.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures can improve the life of a patient who has lost teeth in ways like:
- Providing an incredibly comfortable fit.
- Creating a beautiful and complete smile the patient will be proud to show off.
- Bolstering chewing ability so the patient can enjoy a tastier and healthier diet.
- Supporting the facial structure to prevent an excessively aged appearance.
- Being an affordable way to address extensive tooth loss.
- Being easy to clean and maintain.
