Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Dentures may be a good fit for you if:

  • You have suffered extensive tooth loss. If you are missing just one or two teeth, another treatment may be better for you.
  • You are tired of the inconveniences that come with an incomplete smile. For example, you may find it difficult to chew your favorite foods, and you might feel self-conscious about your appearance.
  • Your gums are healthy. If you have gum disease, it should be treated before you move forward with dentures.

Types of Dentures

There are a few different types of dentures. During your consultation, we will examine your mouth and learn about your goals. Thereafter, we will be able to recommend the type of prosthetic that best fits your circumstances and preferences. We may advise you to get partial dentures, full dentures, or implant dentures.

Partial Dentures

Partial denture with metal attachments

If you still have some healthy natural teeth, partial dentures may be right for you. They fit in around the remaining teeth and stay in place with the help of small metal or acrylic clips. Typically, partial dentures consist of an acrylic base and acrylic teeth.

Full Dentures

A full denture replaces an entire arch of lost teeth. Usually, they have an acrylic base along with acrylic or porcelain teeth. The base is carefully designed to work with a patient’s unique oral structures. Suction or adhesive helps a full denture to stay in place during eating and speaking.

Implant Dentures

Dental implants are small titanium cylinders that act as prosthetic tooth roots. Once they are surgically placed in the jawbone, they can provide an incredibly strong base for dentures. We often recommend implant dentures as the best option for qualifying patients due to the many outstanding benefits they offer.
