Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
When you’re missing teeth, it can have numerous negative effects on your life. Things you used to take for granted like eating, speaking properly, and smiling can become difficult and embarrassing. You may even find yourself withdrawing from social situations, hiding your smile, or feeling sad or depressed. Dentures act as your missing teeth, restoring your ability to do all the things you once loved, like smiling and laughing with friends, enjoying a full diet, and speaking and singing clearly.
To qualify for dentures, you’ll need to have healthy gums to support them, and to be committed to caring for your new prosthetic.
If you aren’t missing an entire arch of teeth, you may be better suited to another treatment such as dental implants or a dental bridge.
Types of Dentures
There are several different types of dentures available, depending on your individual needs and budget. To learn more about what each treatment will look like, including turnaround time and total cost, please schedule a consultation with your dentist.
Partial Dentures
If you have large gaps between teeth, it can be difficult to speak clearly and chew certain foods, not to mention the embarrassment of missing teeth when you open your mouth. Partial dentures are great for patients who are missing multiple but not all the teeth on an arch. They are made of acrylic and usually metal clips that hold them in place during use. These dentures still must be removed to soak at night but are very easy to maintain and blend in seamlessly with your smile, so nobody has to know they’re not your real teeth!
Full Dentures
Ful dentures sit on your gums and stay in place via natural suction. The base of full dentures is typically made of acrylic or nylon that is custom crafted from a mold made from your mouth. This highly detailed replica takes several weeks to complete but is well worth the wait. Full dentures look and feel natural, and with a little practice, are just as easy to use as real teeth, too!
Implant Dentures
For patients who don’t want to deal with removing and soaking their dentures every day, implant dentures are a more permanent option. With implant dentures, you needn’t remove all varieties daily, and because they are attached to the jaw via a series of dental implant posts, they are much more secure than full dentures. They also provide greater biteforce, meaning there’s virtually no food you can’t comfortably enjoy!
The Benefits of Dentures
Getting dentures just may be the best thing you’ll do for your smile. The highly customized process of this prosthetic takes several weeks or months to complete, depending on the condition of your oral health and the type of denture you select. Your new dentures will be made to look just like natural teeth, so nobody will be able to tell they’re not real. They will also allow you to eat a more nutritious diet, enabling you to improve your overall health, and because they prop up your facial structure, you’ll benefit from a younger looking appearance instead of that “hollowed out” look you can get from missing teeth. Dentures are easy to keep clean and maintain, making them ideal for those with a busy lifestyle, and for those on a tighter budget, they’re typically considered the most cost-effective and trusted tooth replacement option.
