Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Virtually any patient with multiple missing teeth and healthy gums is a suitable candidate for dentures. During your initial consultation, our dentist will first inspect your mouth. If this exam uncovers any problems like tooth decay or gum disease, our dental team will take special care to resolve these issues so you can be on your way to enjoying a restored smile.
Types of Dentures
There are several types of dentures that can address different dental situations. Regardless of the form they take, modern dentures are incredibly comfortable and lifelike, meaning that patients often forget they’re wearing them, while casual observers don’t even notice them. After evaluating the state of your teeth and gums, our team will recommend one of the following types of dentures:
Partial Dentures
If you are missing a few teeth, you may be an excellent candidate for partial dentures. These appliances are designed to clasp to your real teeth, creating a sturdy hold while the gum-colored base and lifelike artificial teeth make them indistinguishable from the rest of your smile.
Full Dentures
Patients who are missing a complete arch of teeth will probably benefit best from full dentures. These appliances have bases made of acrylic resin and artificial teeth that look just like your original ones, and are held in place by suction, muscle control, denture adhesive, or a combination of these.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures provide superior chewing power because they are held in place by state-of-the-art dental implants. Since these implants are surgically placed directly in the jawbone, they provide optimal stability while preventing unwanted shifting.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures are a time-tested solution to tooth loss that can restore a patient’s appearance and much of their chewing power. Just a few of the many benefits dentures provide include:
- Allowing you to chew most foods with ease.
- Cost-effective solution that can last for up to ten years with proper care.
- Maintaining your dentures is very easy; simply soak/cleanse them as needed using an approved denture cleanser.
- Dentures are individually made to meet a patient’s particular needs.
- Maintain the youthful shape of your face.
