Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures are often recommended for patients who have lost multiple teeth in one or both arches. If you set up a consultation with our team, we can help you figure out whether dentures are right for you. This will involve a thorough examination of your mouth as well as careful consideration of your options. Remember, it’s important to act quickly if you think you need dentures; waiting too long to replace missing teeth can lead to oral health problems.
Types of Dentures
What kind of denture is the best choice for helping your smile function normally again? This is a question that we can only answer after taking a closer look at your mouth, but in the meantime, you can read below to learn more about the types of dentures that our team might recommend.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is designed to fit into any gaps in your smile left by missing teeth, and they use metal clasps to help them stay anchored in place. You may be eligible for a partial denture if you still have a sufficient number of healthy teeth. Remember, you’ll need to take your partial denture out of your mouth to clean it properly.
Full Dentures
A full denture sits directly on your gums and stays in place via the help of natural suction. This type of prosthesis is a good fit for those who have lost most or all of their teeth. Like partial dentures, full dentures can be taken out of your mouth at any time for cleaning purposes.
Implant Dentures
An implant denture combines a natural-looking full or partial denture with a strategic number of dental implant posts surgically inserted into the jaw. The implant posts will act as replacement tooth roots, keeping the prosthesis anchored in place while providing it with better stability and chewing power. Some implant dentures are removable, but others are fixed in place and can be brushed like natural teeth.
The Benefits of Dentures
- Restored Bite: You’ll be able to enjoy a more varied diet thanks to dentures that allow you to chew all kinds of foods properly.
- Improved Speech: Once you have a full set of teeth again thanks to dentures, you’re likely to find that it’s easier to speak clearly.
- Long Lifespan: Dentures can often last for around 10 years as long as you give them the right kind of care.
