Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
When teeth are lost, basic tasks like chewing food, speaking with loved ones, and even showing your smile off can be quite difficult. Not only are you more likely to feel embarrassed to smile, but your diet becomes quite limited, putting you at risk of nutritional deficiencies. Whether you’re missing several teeth throughout your mouth or all the teeth in one or both arches, dentures are likely an ideal solution to consider. With that said, you will need to have healthy gums before you can receive them.
Types of Dentures
Getting a consultation is important to understanding which denture can best suit your needs. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to replacing your teeth, which is why we have multiple options for you to consider. This includes partial, full, and implant dentures, all of which fulfil a unique purpose based on your circumstance.
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is made from a metal base and equipped with gum-colored materials and tooth-colored restorations in order to effectively rebuild your smile while still looking natural. Much like a puzzle piece, the denture fits snugly in between existing teeth and wraps around them using dedicated clips.
Full Dentures
When an entire arch of teeth has been lost, whether it’s the top, bottom, or both, a full denture is an ideal solution. This denture is designed to remain in place using the natural suction of the gums. In the beginning weeks of use, it’s reasonable to use denture adhesive to make the process a bit easier.
Implant Dentures
Instead of relying on suction and the shape of the mouth to hold a full denture in place, a series of dental implants can be placed into the jaw first. While this option is more expensive and does require you to have a certain level of healthy bone tissue, it ensures a longer-lasting tooth replacement and dramatically improves functionality and esthetics.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures come with many benefits, making them a worthwhile investment not just in your smile, but your long-term oral and overall health. For example, dentures can:
- Be highly customized to blend in with your existing oral structures exactly for the best esthetics possible
- Allow you to eat a wider range of food and achieve a more healthy and balanced diet
- Prevent your cheeks from hollowing out thanks to their added support
- Be a cost-effective solution to severe tooth loss
- Easily be cleaned and maintained to ensure they last for as long as possible
- Reduce your risk of future dental disease, including tooth decay and gum infections
