Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Most patients missing several or more teeth are good candidates for dentures. We’ll thoroughly examine your mouth to check on your oral health, so if there is a condition that could complicate your treatment, we can take care of it first to promote successful dentures. From there, we can custom make a full or partial prosthetic to suit your smile needs!
Types of Dentures
There are three main types of dentures: partial, full, and implant dentures. Each has a unique function to serve unique needs, and you can learn more about them with the information below.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are useful for those who still have some of their natural teeth. They are individually crafted to fit around the remaining teeth, using clips. Both the “gum” base and artificial teeth can be colored to provide a good match with surrounding teeth and gum tissue.
Full Dentures
When you are missing all of your teeth, the type of dentures that you would be getting are known as full dentures. The artificial teeth used with the prosthetic are fitted to a plate that sits right over the gums. If it is an upper denture, it would rest on the roof of your mouth.
Dentures normally have a gum-colored acrylic base, although the inner part may be constructed from metal. But don’t worry – the base is distant from the teeth so that it is not visible when you open your mouth.
Implant Dentures
Dentures can be retained by dental implants, giving them all sorts of benefits, including improved stability, comfort, aesthetics, and a natural bite feel. Instead of allowing the denture to rest on your gums, we’ll secure them in place by strategically placing four or more dental implants and attaching them to the denture.
The Benefits of Dentures
There’s a reason why dentures continue to be a tried-and-true replacement option for missing teeth! They enable patients to enjoy several benefits, such as:
- 10 years or more of use with proper care
- Easier talking and chewing ability
- A more comfortable bite
- A seamless smile
