Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
When you’re missing permanent teeth, it can make everyday tasks like eating, speaking, and smiling difficult. Dentures offer a durable, affordable solution to tooth loss, and are ideal for patients who have lost multiple teeth along an arch. As long as your gums are healthy and your jawbone is sufficiently strong, you are likely a good candidate for this life-changing treatment.
Types of Dentures
There are three main types of dentures: partial, full, and implant. To determine which option is best for you, you’ll need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Cannady. At this time, he’ll review your oral health, take impressions of your mouth, and determine which type of denture is best for your smile.
Partial Dentures
Even if they’re not visible when you smile, having large gaps in your arches between your existing healthy teeth can make eating and speaking difficult. Partial dentures can work as your replacement teeth to make it easier for your mouth to function properly. These prosthetics consist of an acrylic base that attaches via metal clips, and replacement teeth (crowns) and can be used to fill in missing spots to make everyday tasks like conversing and chewing easy again.
Full Dentures
Full dentures consist of an acrylic base and either porcelain or acrylic crowns. They stay in place on your arches using natural suction and look and feel just like your natural teeth. The base of your new dentures is custom fit to your mouth, so they not only resemble your natural gum tissue, but they also stay in place securely so you can enjoy a wider range of foods and speak and smile confidently.
Implant Dentures
For patients looking for a more permanent solution to tooth loss, implant dentures may be the answer. If you’re one of the many patients that aren’t completely satisfied with traditional dentures and are searching for something that’s more secure and longer lasting, these prosthetics were designed to stay in place until removed by a dentist. While the implant posts can last a lifetime, the prosthetic teeth can be replaced as needed but could last for decades longer than traditional dentures. Better still, because they’re anchored to your jawbone, implant dentures provide greater biteforce than traditional dentures, so you can enjoy a wider range of nutritious, delicious foods.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures are a highly customized treatment, so no two pairs will be alike. This means that you’ll keep your unique smile, no matter which type of prosthetic you choose. Your new dentures are made to look and feel just like natural teeth and allow you to eat a more nutritious diet than you could with missing teeth. They also support your facial structure, eliminating that “hollowed out” or sunken look in the cheeks, and they’re easily the most cost-effective solution to permanent tooth loss. Plus, they’re easy to clean and maintain, saving you time and money caring for your newly restored smile!
