Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Missing permanent teeth can make a profound impact on your life. Everyday things that you may have taken for granted like speaking, chewing, and even smiling often become difficult and embarrassing, diminishing your quality of life. Dentures can replace many lost teeth at once, allowing you to enjoy a wide variety of foods and speak and smile with ease.
If you aren’t missing an entire arch of teeth, dentures may not be right for you, but Dr. May and Dr. Bowles will discuss your best options with you at your consultation. You must have healthy gums to wear dentures, so if you do not presently, you may require treatment for this prior to qualifying for them.
Types of Dentures
There are several types of dentures available, depending on your individual needs. A consultation with Dr. May and Dr. Bowles will help you determine which type is best for you. At this appointment, they will also explain in fuller detail what the denture creation process and timeline will look like, and how soon you can expect your new prosthetics to be ready.
Partial Dentures
Missing multiple teeth can make speaking and chewing difficult and make it embarrassing to share your smile with the world. Partial dentures are an excellent way to close any gaps in your smile while still allowing you to keep your remaining natural teeth. Partials secure via a discreet metal clasp and gum-colored base, so they blend seamlessly into your smile.
Full Dentures
If you’re missing a full arch of teeth, full dentures are an excellent option. These prosthetics secure into place by using natural suction. They’re customized to fit your mouth perfectly, so you should always have a firm, comfortable fit without the need for adhesive.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are a hybrid of traditional dentures and dental implants. They’re a wonderful option for patients who are frustrated with caring for dentures but do not want to replace each tooth individually.
Your implant dentures are held in place on your arch via several permanent dental implants. Because they’re attached, they can’t slip or fall out. They still provide the same natural look and feel of real teeth, and because they are in one larger piece, they require fewer implants. This means that not only are they less invasive, but they are also more affordable than replacing each individual tooth with separate dental implants. They’re also much easier to clean than traditional dentures.
The Benefits of Dentures
Each type of denture has its own benefits depending on your individual mouth. With dentures, you can once again enjoy a nutritious diet that can benefit your overall health and well-being. Restoring your teeth with dentures can also improve your appearance by preventing facial sagging and that “hollowed out” look that can occur without proper jaw support.
Dentures are one of the most budget-friendly ways to replace your teeth and can last for many years with proper use and maintenance. Best of all, because they’re easy to clean, your new smile will stay looking great with just a little bit of effort!
