Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Patients who are missing several teeth in one or both arches are normally good candidates for dentures, but you’ll need to come in for a consultation with Dr. Lavery and our team first. During this appointment, we’ll carefully inspect your mouth and confirm that you’re in decent oral health. Then, we’ll discuss the extent of your tooth loss with you as well as your lifestyle preferences to determine which type of dentures best suit your needs. In any case, we recommend that missing teeth be replaced sooner rather than later, as prolonging treatment may end up leading to further tooth loss down the road.
Types of Dentures
Dentures are incredibly versatile, and a solution exists for virtually every degree of tooth loss. Based on your circumstances and preferences, our team will recommend partial dentures, full dentures, or implant dentures:
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are designed to replace multiple teeth located along the same arch. By attaching a clasp to your remaining natural teeth, the gum-colored base can rest stable along the gumline and allow the replacement teeth to fill the gap(s). Partials are also removable, meaning that they’re fairly easy to maintain and clean.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are designed to restore an entire arch of missing teeth or even both arches, meaning they can assist patients suffering from total tooth loss. They rely on adhesives, suction, and muscle control to remain in place, and they consist of a gum-colored base combined with replacement teeth designed to mimic your natural ones. Like partials, full dentures are removable for convenient cleaning and care.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures combine the benefits of both traditional dentures and dental implants, which are considered revolutionary in the world of dentistry. Using small titanium posts that are surgically placed beneath the gumline, we can restore the missing roots of the lost teeth, in addition to their chewing surfaces with the help of custom-made dentures. Assuming you take care of your dental implants, this option has the potential to last for a lifetime.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures have all kinds of unique benefits to offer, including:
- They effectively restore your bite, allowing you to eat all kinds of foods that would otherwise give you difficulty with missing teeth.
- Dentures are highly versatile and can be customized to address any number of missing teeth; not to mention, they look highly lifelike and function just like your original teeth.
- It is not difficult at all to clean and maintain dentures; you’ll just need to rinse and brush them routinely after meals and remove them to soak them overnight.
- Wearing dentures can help preserve your facial structure, granting you a more youthful appearance.
