Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Have you lost an entire row of teeth? Or are there a few gaps scattered throughout the arch? In both of these situations, dentures can potentially be a viable solution for re-completing your smile. We recommend scheduling a consultation with our team as soon as you can. Once we have taken a close look at your smile, we can confirm whether you’re a candidate for dentures and give you our recommendation for treatment. Remember, it’s always better to replace missing teeth sooner rather than later.
Types of Dentures
At your initial consultation, we’ll narrow down the type of denture that best fits your needs. Rest assured that we will take the time to explain the advantages and disadvantages of each option before you have to make any decisions. In the meantime, here is a quick overview of the kinds of dentures that you can get.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is designed to fit into the gaps that have been left in your smile by missing teeth. It’s often a good option if you still have plenty of natural teeth that are worth keeping. The prosthesis will stay anchored in place thanks to a clasp.
Full Dentures
A full denture sits directly on your gum tissue. Its purpose is to replace all of the teeth in a single row. You can typically count on a full denture to stay in place thanks to natural suction.
Implant Dentures
If dentures are attached to dental implants, they will be much more stable, and you will be able to use them to enjoy a wider variety of foods. Additionally, dental implants can stop bone loss in your jaw thanks to the stimulation that the implant posts provide. Note that if you choose to pursue implant dentures, the posts will be surgically placed by a separate specialist.
The Benefits of Dentures
- Restored Bite: Having a full set of teeth again will improve your ability to enjoy all kinds of foods.
- Enhanced Speaking Ability: Once you get used to speaking with dentures, it will be much easier to speak clearly enough to be understood by others.
- Durability: Dentures can often last for more than a decade as long as you’re taking good care of them.
