Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Missing teeth can be more than just a dental problem. It can have many negative, life-altering effects, including no longer being able to enjoy the foods you love, difficulty speaking clearly, and feeling too embarrassed to smile or engage socially. If you are missing multiple permanent teeth, you could be an excellent candidate for dentures.
To qualify for this treatment, you’ll need to have healthy gums and bones to support your prosthetic. If you don’t, it may still be possible to become a good candidate for treatment with preliminary care such as gum disease therapy or a bone graft.
If you aren’t missing all your teeth along an arch, another treatment may be better suited to you. Dr. Allen can discuss your restoration options with you at your consultation.
Types of Dentures
There are several types of dentures available depending on your individual needs. To learn more about which options would work best for you, please schedule a consultation with Dr. Allen. At that time, he can go over your treatment plan and give you a better understanding of how dentures work and how long your treatment will take.
Partial Dentures
Having large gaps between your teeth make it difficult to chew food properly, causing problems like indigestion and malnutrition. Furthermore, without a full arch, it can also be difficult to speak clearly. Replacing lost teeth with a partial denture can help eliminate these issues.
Partial dentures are made of an acrylic base that attaches to your healthy teeth via a set of metal clips, disguising gaps in your arches and allowing your teeth to function properly when eating and speaking.
Full Dentures
Full dentures restore an entire arch of teeth, and work by using natural suction to stay in place on your gums. They are custom fit right in Dr. Allen’s office to ensure that they stay securely in place when you eat and speak. They can be easily removed for daily cleaning and overnight soaking and are a more affordable way to restore your smile than other types of prosthetics.
Implant Dentures
For a more permanent and unwavering way to replace lost teeth, implant dentures are an excellent option. Unlike traditional dentures, they stay in place via several permanent dental implant posts. This makes the prosthetic more secure and provides greater biteforce than traditional dentures. Furthermore, because it does not require suction to stay in place, these prosthetics are less likely to lose shape or need frequent replacement or repair.
The Benefits of Dentures
Getting your new dentures is a highly customized process from start to finish. Because they will be made for your individual mouth, the process can take several months, but this is to ensure that your new smile is exactly how you want it.
Your new dentures are made to look just like your natural teeth and allow you to eat a more nutritious diet. This in turn can improve your overall health.
Because they provide support to cheeks and jaw, dentures can prevent your face from looking sunken or hollow.
Unlike other types of restorations, dentures are much more cost-effective. They are also easy to clean and maintain, allowing you to enjoy their benefits without frustration.
