Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
You’ll be happy to hear that most patients who are missing several or all of their natural teeth end up being excellent candidates for dentures. You’ll simply need to meet with Dr. Mockler for a consultation, where she’ll thoroughly examine your smile, review your oral health, and discuss your lifestyle and goals with you to determine if dentures are the right option. That said, keep in mind that it’s always going to be in your oral health’s best interest to replace missing teeth sooner rather than later, in order to avoid additional oral health issues down the road.
Types of Dentures
Today’s dentures are more versatile than most people realize, and they can help patients with all degrees of tooth loss. During your appointment, Dr. Mockler will review the different types of dentures that we offer here at our Campbell office, including their pros and cons, their cost factors, and how to properly care for them.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures consist of a gum-colored acrylic base that’s normally supported by metal. The base is designed to fit around your existing teeth, anchoring the replacements in place to fill the gap (or gaps) present in the arch. Partial dentures are also conveniently removable, meaning they’re easy to clean and care for.
Full Dentures
If you’re missing an entire arch (or both arches) of teeth, full dentures are usually the ideal choice. Like partial dentures, they have an acrylic base designed to rest on your gums and blend in with them, but they also have a full row of replacement teeth. They’re generally held in place with a combination of suction, adhesives, or a combination of both.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures combine the unique benefits of dental implants with the practicality of dentures. Instead of relying on suction, adhesives, or metal clasps to hold your new teeth in place, they can instead be attached to dental implant posts that are surgically placed beneath the gumline. These posts can fuse with your bone to form a sturdy, natural connection and last for a very long time.
The Benefits of Dentures
When you get dentures, you aren’t just filling the gaps in your smile—you’re also unlocking many benefits and advantages that you wouldn’t be able to enjoy without a full set of teeth, including:
- Dentures restore your bite and allow you to enjoy a variety of foods that can’t be eaten easily with missing teeth.
- Dentures are highly versatile and customizable based on a patient’s needs, not to mention they’re made from durable, natural-looking materials.
- With the right care, dentures can last for 10 or more years, and they can also easily be refitted, repaired, or replaced when issues arise.
