Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures offer those suffering from tooth loss the opportunity to regain a healthy, beautiful smile. However, the only way to know if you are a good candidate for this type of treatment is to schedule an appointment with one of our qualified dental experts. When discussing your options with one of our dentists, you can expect to learn about the different types of dentures as well as which one will deliver the greatest benefits based on your needs.
Depending on how many teeth you are missing, the type of denture you require, the state of your oral health, and your budget, we will develop a plan that offers a personalized solution designed to give you the smile you truly desire.
Types of Dentures
There are three types of dentures you can expect our team to go over with you during your consultation. Each offers a unique opportunity to embrace a complete, healthy, and beautiful smile.
Partial Dentures
Combining an acrylic base with a metal framework and artificial teeth, a partial denture is crafted to fill in the gaps of missing teeth along the upper or lower arch. Working like a puzzle piece, it fits into place and attaches to healthy abutment teeth for added stability. A partial can be easily removed so that you can maintain it over time and ensure its longevity.
Full Dentures
Similar to a partial denture, full dentures are made using an acrylic base and artificial teeth. Their purpose is to replace an entire arch and provide a greater ability to eat and speak. These prosthetics are held in place by natural suction; however, many people choose to use a small amount of denture adhesive for greater stability, especially when eating a meal or preparing to make a speech. They are completely removable, so you can adequately clean them and soak them overnight.
Implant Dentures
Vastly different from full and partial dentures are those held in place by dental implants. These prosthetics consist of titanium posts that fuse with surrounding bone tissue after being placed within the jawbone. Mimicking the natural function of tooth roots lowers the risk of bone loss and facial collapse over time as well as allows for an improved bite force and clearer speech. With careful maintenance, these artificial teeth can last at least 30 years.
Benefits of Dentures
You cannot overlook the countless benefits that come with dentures. While the most prominent might be the opportunity to enjoy life with a complete smile again, there are others you should also consider:
- Better bite force, so you can eat some of your favorite foods again
- Ability to preserve your facial shape
- Prosthetics that are easy to clean
- Teeth that can last several years or a lifetime (implant dentures)
- No longer worrying about slurring your speech
