Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures are capable of replacing most or all of your teeth all at once and can therefore be incredibly useful for patients who won’t get quite enough coverage from other methods of tooth replacement. If you’ve ever found that you’re not able to eat the foods you want, have a hard time speaking, and don’t feel comfortable smiling in public, this prosthetic could help you reverse these trends.
It’s important to note that dentures rely heavily on the health of your gums, so it may be necessary to receive gum disease therapy before receiving them.
Types of Dentures
There are three main types of dentures, and which one you should choose depends on what you’re looking for. We’ll help you make this decision when we meet, but here’s what you should know about these types of dentures until then.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are meant for patients who are missing most, if not all, of their teeth. They consist of acrylic morals, bicuspids, and incisors on top of a metal base, allowing them to be hooked to the natural teeth with small metal clamps.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are made for patients who have no natural teeth to hook onto. These dentures are therefore designed with an acrylic based that can be molded to fit tightly over the gums, allowing them to remain in place entirely via suction.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures consist of a prosthetic attached to thin metal posts that are surgically placed into the jaw. This affords patients the coverage of partial or full dentures with much greater bite strength. Implant dentures also tend to last longer than other kinds of prosthetics, which means that you can save money in the long run on relinings and replacements.
The Benefits of Dentures
Modern dentures are incredibly realistic and strong, owing to the heavily customized process of getting your prosthetic. Dentures will feel a lot like your natural teeth and allow you to eat a much broader diet than you would be able to otherwise. Dentures also offer aesthetic benefits, allowing you to smile more easily and keeping your cheeks from looking hollow.
