Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
So long as they’re decently healthy, most adults with missing teeth can get dentures. That said, there are times when a patient may not be well-suited for them. Someone may do better with a different restoration if they haven’t lost all the teeth along an arch. On the other hand, a would-be candidate may not have the healthy gums needed to support dentures.
In line with these facts, please consult our dentists to learn if dentures suit you. They can give you a quick oral exam to check if the prosthetics would help. In case they would, our team will draft a custom treatment plan tailored to you.
Types of Dentures
Depending on your consultation’s results, we suggest you get one of three possible types of dentures. These are the following:
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is one that (per its name) only replaces a few teeth. Given this limit, the device fits over a patient's gumline with suction or clasps onto abutments (i.e., nearby natural teeth). It then relies on its base's pink coloring and artificial teeth to blend with your grin.
A partial denture’s base uses acrylic to match your gum tissue, while each artificial tooth has the same shade as your enamel.
Full Dentures
Unlike a partial one, a full denture replaces an entire arch of teeth at once. That means it only uses suction force (or adhesives) to stay in place; it won’t alter your other teeth by using clasps. However, note that a full denture uses the same sort of materials as a partial kind. Both devices rely on gum-colored bases and porcelain or ceramic artificial teeth.
Implant Dentures
If you want a more lasting tooth replacement option, consider implant dentures. These sorts secure themselves with dental implants – metal posts that fuse with your jawbone. So, a well-placed implant denture will remain stable and secure over time. It shouldn’t slip or fall from your mouth like a traditional one would, and it’ll prevent facial collapse.
