Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Most patients who are without multiple teeth or an entire arch can benefit from dentures. Although the type that is recommended (i.e., partial, full, or implant) will depend on how many teeth you are missing, we can determine through a comprehensive examination what your needs are so that we choose the right kind of prosthetic for your smile.
We will also make sure that your jawbone is dense enough to adequately support your dentures as well as if you require any additional forms of treatment (i.e., gum disease therapy, tooth extraction, etc.).
Types of Dentures
Partial, full, and implant dentures are the three different types you can expect our team to discuss with you during your initial consultation. It’s during this visit that we will go over the differences and decide which one will be right for you.
Partial Dentures
Using an acrylic base that matches the natural color of your gums, we will incorporate a metal framework that uses clips or clasps to help hold your partial in place. The teeth that are attached to the base will match up with the vacant areas along your arch so that when the prosthetic is fitted, it will act similarly to a puzzle piece.
Full Dentures
Using the same materials as partials, full dentures are crafted the same way but without a metal framework. Instead of attaching to natural teeth to hold them in place, full dentures rely on natural suction, as there are no remaining teeth to anchor to. Of course, many patients feel more comfortable using denture adhesive as another form of security since it helps keep teeth more firmly in place while eating and speaking.
Implant Dentures
Requiring no adhesives, natural suction, or natural teeth are implant dentures. These prosthetics can replace an entire row of missing teeth using four to six titanium posts. These are surgically placed within the jawbone and support a custom-made denture once it is ready for placement. Implant dentures can last 30 years or more, which is decades longer than traditional dentures, and they deliver optimal durability and stability while also improving your bite force.
Benefits of Dentures
Dentures of any kind are capable of delivering exceptional benefits to patients living with missing teeth. Once put in place, they:
- Offer increased confidence and a more vibrant and beautiful smile
- Make it possible to maintain a healthier diet that is full of nutrient-rich foods
- Are easy to clean and allow for better oral and overall health
- Can last 5-7 years (partials and full dentures) or 30+ years (implant dentures)
