Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Whether it is due to gum disease, decay, an accident, or other circumstances, tooth loss can have big consequences for your health and daily quality of life. Your condition may cause embarrassment and make you lose out on meaningful social interactions. Your nutrition may also be lacking, which can increase your disease risk.

Dentures can help! They can be a great option for almost anyone with missing teeth. During your consultation, we will make sure your gums and other oral tissues are healthy enough to support a prosthetic. Then, we can move forward with designing your treatment plan.

Types of Dentures

There are three main types of dentures, each of which comes with its own set of advantages and drawbacks. When you visit us, we will recommend the one that best fits your circumstances and preferences.

Here is a brief overview of each option:

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures can be thought of as a puzzle piece that fits in around the remaining natural dentition; they can replace multiple teeth at different places throughout a dental arch. Small metal or acrylic clasps help them stay in place as you eat and speak.

Full Dentures

A full denture replaces an entire arch of missing teeth. These prosthetics usually consist of a gum-colored acrylic base and teeth made of acrylic or porcelain. Natural suction or a small amount of adhesive helps them stay in the mouth throughout daily activities.

Implant Dentures

Implant dentures do not rely on clasps or suction to remain in the mouth. Instead, they are anchored in the mouth by prosthetic tooth roots (dental implants), which our team surgically places into the jawbone. They can then support a denture that is almost as strong as natural teeth. We often recommend an implant denture as the best option for qualified patients.

The Benefits of Dentures

Dentures offer some outstanding benefits:

  • Improved chewing: Dentures can allow you to eat almost any food.
  • Clearer speech: After an adjustment period, you may find that you can enunciate words more clearly than when you were missing many teeth.
  • Aesthetics: Since dentures are customized for your unique face and mouth, they can look very natural. They can also prevent your cheeks from having a hollow appearance.
  • Durability: Dentures can last for several years if they receive proper care.
  • Easy maintenance: Our team will coach you on how to take care of your dentures so they stay clean, odor-free, and undamaged. Daily cleaning and routine dental visits are key.
