Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Extensive tooth loss can lead to a host of negative consequences such as difficulty chewing and speaking, embarrassment about one’s smile, the remaining teeth shifting out of place, and a greater risk of dental injury. Thankfully, almost anyone with missing teeth can be a good candidate for dentures as long as they have healthy gums to support them. However, if you are not missing all of the teeth along one arch, another restorative treatment may be the better choice.
Types of Dentures
During your consultation, one of our dentists will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals with you, and recommend the type of denture that suits your needs best. We offer several types of dentures, including:
Partial Dentures
If you are missing a few or many teeth, a partial denture may be the best option for you. These restorations are designed to clip onto your remaining natural teeth with metal wires, and they can protect your gums from injury while helping you to preserve your remaining teeth by evenly distributing the pressure of chewing.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are used to replace all of the teeth along an arch and are held in place through natural suction. These models are customized to comfortably fit over the patient’s gums, allowing them to chew and smile confidently.
Implant Dentures
By anchoring your dentures with dental implants placed directly into your jawbone, we can ensure that they hold their position and exert maximum chewing force. Implant dentures can be a great option for those who aren’t satisfied with their traditional dentures.
