Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Dentures are an affordable way to replace missing teeth

When you’re missing teeth, it can affect more than just your appearance. From the inability to eat the foods you love, to embarrassing speech problems and insecurity about your smile, it can really take its toll on your self-esteem.

Dentures can help by acting as your replacement teeth, restoring your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. To get dentures, you’ll first need healthy gums to support your prosthetic. If you don’t presently have healthy gums, Dr. Lane can help you restore them so your mouth is ready for your new teeth.

Types of Dentures

If you are missing multiple teeth you may be a good candidate for dentures

To best determine which type of dentures will suit your smile, you’ll first need to schedule a consultation with Dr. Lane. There, she will examine your mouth, make impressions, discuss your options, and make recommendations for which type of denture will work best for you. Here’s a closer look at some of the different types of dentures you might choose:

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are ideal for patients missing some but not all of the teeth on an arch

Even if they’re not visible when you open your mouth, having large gaps between your teeth can make chewing and speaking difficult. Partial dentures are excellent options for patients missing just a few but not all their teeth on an arch. Most are made with an acrylic base and metal clasps, and the crowns (teeth) are often acrylic, as these are less abrasive and thereby safer for your existing natural teeth.

Full Dentures

full dentures can replace an entire arch of missing teeth

Full dentures are ideal for patients missing all their natural teeth. They secure to the jaw using natural suction. Made from impressions of your mouth, the base of full dentures is custom made to fit comfortably over your gums and is tailored to match the color of your healthy gum tissue.

Implant Dentures

implant dentures permanently attach to the jaw using a series of dental implants

For patients looking for a more permanent, secure fit, implant dentures combine the durability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures. These prosthetics permanently attach to your jawbone via a series of four to six dental implants that should last a lifetime. Depending on the type of implant denture you choose, most prosthetics can only be removed by your dentist, so there’s no need to take them out to soak or clean them, and there’s no risk of them slipping or falling out when you’re eating, speaking, or smiling. 

The Benefits of Dentures

Dentures can restore the appearance and function of your smile

No matter which type of denture you choose, getting dentures is a highly customized process that begins with a consultation with Dr. Lane. Made to look just like natural teeth, they restore your ability to eat a variety of healthy, delicious food and improve your overall health. They also can improve your appearance by preventing that hollow look in the cheeks, which in turn can make you look younger and more vibrant.

Ultimately, dentures are one of the most cost-effective and trustworthy tooth replacement options available today.
