Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Tooth loss can lead to a wide range of unpleasant consequences such as reduced chewing power, difficulty speaking clearly, and being unhappy with your smile. It can also lead to health issues like gum injuries, jawbone erosion, dental misalignments, uneven enamel wear, and further tooth loss. Almost anyone suffering from tooth loss can benefit from dentures, but we’ll need to clear up any oral infections like gum disease at our office before a patient can be fitted for their appliance. While dentures can be an excellent way to address the loss of many teeth, patients who are only missing a few may be better served by another type of appliance like a bridge or a dental implant.
Types of Dentures
Each denture from our office is customized to ensure a comfortable fit, and there are several types of these appliances available. After evaluating your oral health during your consultation, Dr. Kringle may recommend:
Partial Dentures
Losing a few or many teeth can leave gaps in a person’s smile that make them more vulnerable to gum injuries, accumulations of plaque and food debris, and dental drift. The bases of partial dentures are typically made from acrylic that can be shaded to match the natural color of your gums, and they usually incorporate metal clips that allow them to connect to the patient’s remaining natural teeth for added security.
Full Dentures
The base of a full denture is a lot like that of a partial denture in that it is made from gum-colored acrylic, but a full denture is large enough to support an entire arch of artificial teeth while holding its place in the mouth through natural suction. These devices are carefully designed to fit comfortably over the gums, so you should hardly be able to notice them after you get used to wearing them.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures feel and function more like real teeth than traditional restorations since they are securely anchored to the jaw with surgically placed titanium posts for maximum leverage. These devices can last much longer than conventional dentures while delivering superior chewing power.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer an incredible range of important benefits like:
- A lifelike appearance that helps the patient smile confidently
- Improving chewing power so the patient can enjoy a better diet
- Making it easier to speak clearly
- Supporting the cheeks to help preserve a youthful appearance
- Cost-effective tooth loss solution
- Easy to maintain with a simple daily cleaning regimen
