Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Assuming your oral health is good, it doesn’t take much to qualify for dentures. Most adults with missing teeth can qualify for these traditional tooth replacements, all without facing strict requirements. Just note that some people tend to benefit more from dentures than others. Indeed, a prospective patient may be better-suited for a different option; others may lack the healthy gums to support dentures.
You should ultimately consult Dr. Glamm to confirm your treatment candidacy. After giving you an oral exam, she can see whether dentures would suit your smile.
Types of Dentures
Glamm Dentistry offers several types of dentures, with each having its own strengths. We’ll recommend one of the following kinds to you (if any) after your oral exam:
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures – in line with their name – only replace a few teeth. As such, they fit snugly over your gumline through suction or clasp onto “abutments” (i.e., nearby natural teeth). Their pink acrylic bases and color-matched teeth then allow them to blend with your smile seamlessly.
Full Dentures
Rather than replace a few, a full denture “restores” a whole arch of teeth at once. It thus relies only on suction force (or adhesives) for security; the device doesn’t use abutments. With that said, a full denture shares a key similarity with a partial kind: it fits snugly and comfortably over the gums.
Implant Dentures
If you want something “permanent,” you should consider implant dentures. These kinds secure themselves with dental implants – metal posts that slowly fuse with your jaw over time. Thanks to such posts, an implant denture won’t slip or fall like a traditional one sometimes does. It’ll also prevent and reverse potential cases of facial collapse.
The Benefits of Dentures
All of our dentures are well-made and feature the following benefits:
- A Stunning Smile – Thanks to high-quality materials, today’s dentures look incredibly lifelike and realistic. Most onlookers won’t notice they aren’t “real” teeth.
- More Confidence – Dentures give most patients a big confidence boost, as they restore one's full smile. You can thus trust these prosthetics to help you feel calm and self-assured.
- Improved Nutrition – Since they let you chew and eat a wider range of food, dentures expand your meal choices and improve your nutritional health.
- Cost-Effectiveness – Dentures cost less than dental bridges and dental implants, all while working incredibly well. It follows that they’re suitable for patients with tight budgets.
