Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Tooth loss comes with a variety of life-altering effects such as:
- Limiting the types of food you can eat
- Making it more difficult to speak clearly
- Diminishing your confidence in your smile
If tooth loss is negatively affecting your life in ways such as these, dentures may be an excellent option for you as long as your gums are sufficiently healthy. If you currently have gum disease, the infection will have to be cleared up before you receive dentures, and another treatment may be a better option if you aren’t missing all the teeth along an arch.
Types of Dentures
When you have your consultation at Quality Dental Care, Dr. Shiyab will carefully examine your mouth to determine the appropriate type of denture for you. He may recommend:
Partial Dentures
Missing one, several, or many teeth throughout the mouth leaves your gums more vulnerable to infection and injury, inhibits your ability to chew food, and allows your remaining natural teeth to drift out of alignment. A partial denture typically consists of ceramic artificial teeth, a gum-colored acrylic base, and metal clips used to secure the appliance to the real teeth.
Full Dentures
A full denture is designed to replace a full arch of teeth while holding itself in place with natural suction. The base of each appliance is made from gum-colored acrylic so it can perfectly match the smile’s natural appearance while maintaining a comfortable fit.
Implant Dentures
Securing your dentures with dental implants placed in your jawbones can provide the sturdiest and longest-lasting hold possible while helping your mouth stay in shape and preventing the need for expensive replacements. This can be a great option for those who aren’t satisfied with their traditional dentures.
