Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Aside from prior tooth loss, it doesn’t take much to qualify for modern dentures. Most adults with decent oral health are eligible to receive and use these dental prosthetics. All that said, not everyone with missing teeth is a good candidate for treatment. Some people who still have a few may benefit from a different restoration, while others may lack healthy gums to support dentures.
Due to these (and similar) factors, please consult us to see if dentures suit you. We’ll gladly perform an oral exam to confirm whether the devices would help.
Types of Dentures
Our dentists will advise you on several types of dentures, depending on your consultation results. These are:
Partial Dentures
Per their name, partial dentures only replace a few teeth at most. They work by fitting over your gumline with suction or clasping onto sturdy “abutments” (i.e., nearby natural teeth). Either way, the denture will use its pink acrylic base and color-matched teeth to blend in with your smile.
Full Dentures
Different from a partial one, a full denture replaces a whole arch of teeth at once. It thus relies on suction force or adhesives to remain secure; it doesn’t alter nearby teeth with clasps. At the same time, this denture is tailored to fit snugly and comfortably over your gums.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are most suitable for patients wanting a “permanent” option. Unlike regular ones, they secure themselves with dental implants – metal posts that fuse with your jaw. That means a good implant denture is highly secure and stable; it shouldn’t ever slip or fall. Better yet, the device will also prevent facial collapse.
The Benefits of Dentures
Even if they’re the “old” or “traditional” option, dentures still have great and consistent benefits. Some of the most notable ones include:
- Lifelike Results – Today’s dentures look very realistic, as they use high-quality materials. You can trust them to blend seamlessly with the rest of your grin.
- A Confidence Boost – Once they’ve fully restored your smile, dentures should help you feel much more confident. The prosthetics will leave you self-assured and at ease with friends and family.
- Better Nutrition – Since dentures provide you with new “teeth,” they help you chew and eat food. The result is that they expand your dietary options and improve your health.
- Long-Lasting Savings – Even as dentures remain effective, they don’t cost as much as dental bridges or implants. They’re thus ideal for patients with limited budgets.
