Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Every tooth in your mouth serves an important role in your oral health and functions. When even one is missing, you can develop nutritional deficiencies because you may have to limit the foods you eat because they are too difficult to chew. Not to mention, you can find yourself hiding your smile because you now feel insecure about your appearance.
Unfortunately, the complications of untreated tooth loss are far greater. It also negatively impacts your oral health. With the health of your teeth and gums directly linked to your general health, untreated tooth loss can also lead to certain medical conditions, like cardiovascular disease that results from gum disease.
The good news is that patients who are missing several teeth or an entire arch can turn to us for help! We provide custom-made partial, full, and implant dentures, ensuring a healthy, complete, and beautiful smile isn’t out of reach.
Types of Dentures
To protect your oral and overall health (while also rebuilding the look and function of your smile), we offer partial, full, and implant dentures. You can learn more about each in this next section, or you can schedule a consultation with us to learn more about your tooth-replacement options!
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used when several teeth are missing. They are a removable device that features prosthetic teeth that are attached to a gum-colored base. To stay securely in place, a discreet metal framework attaches to your remaining natural teeth. Plus, to ensure they look and feel lifelike, impressions and 3D imaging are used to match your exact specifications.
Full Dentures
When all your teeth are missing on the top or bottom arch, you will need a full denture. Using impressions of your mouth, a custom-made arch is developed, which holds the prosthetic teeth. Using suction or an adhesive, the denture is held to your gum tissue to restore your ability to speak, chew, and smile with confidence.
Implant Dentures
As you can see, several advancements have been made to enhance the comfort and appearance of dentures. One of the most noteworthy ones is the addition of dental implants. Since they are inserted directly into your jawbone, they provide an additional layer of stability. Plus, with proper care, they can last for several decades!
The Benefits of Dentures
If you want to fill the empty space in your smile, restoring your confidence and quality of life in the process, here are a few reasons to choose dentures:
- They are custom-made for each patient
- They can help patients who are missing all of their teeth
- They are cost-effective
- They allow you to eat a more varied diet
- They can last for 10 years or more with proper care
Protect Your New Smile
Dentures are an affordable and convenient solution to invest in your quality of life while living with tooth loss. With the right care, they can last for several years. Although they are not subject to decay, you still need to maintain your oral hygiene habits and clean your partials or dentures daily. In addition, it is best to visit your dentist regularly for cleanings and checkups. At this time, they may also adjust the devices to help ensure their comfort, fit, and function.
