Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Potentially, anyone who has lost adult teeth can benefit from having dentures, but that doesn’t make them the best treatment for every circumstance. Before proceeding, you must consult one of our providers to ensure it’s the best option for your unique situation.

They’ll examine your mouth to ensure no pre-existing problems, like gum disease, interfere with your results. They’ll also check your jawbone density to verify whether it’s strong enough to support your new teeth.

Types of Dentures

Whether you’ve lost a few teeth sporadically throughout your mouth or entire arches have gone missing, our team can provide natural-looking dentures to fill the empty spaces in your smile. After we’ve examined your dental condition, we’ll recommend one of the following options based on our findings:

Partial Dentures

Patients who have a few missing teeth can potentially benefit from partial dentures. These restorations typically have an acrylic base housing the correct number of ceramic pontics (artificial teeth) to fill in the gaps. They usually include metal clips that anchor to healthy teeth in your mouth to remain in place.

Full Dentures

This option is intended to replace your entire arch to refurbish your grin completely. They usually have a gum-colored acrylic base that creates a firm suction against the gums over the bony ridges in your mouth, so you must have healthy connective tissues. The durable porcelain teeth are color-matched to your natural shade for realistic results.

Implant Dentures

Patients who struggle with ill-fitting restorations or who want a more permanent solution might do better with implant dentures. This is the only method that involves surgically placing anywhere from four to eight titanium rods into your jawbone. Eventually, your jaw fuses with the metal so they become permanent fixtures that hold your prosthetics in place.

The Benefits of Dentures

Boosted confidence. You’ll have a beautifully restored smile so you look and feel like the best version of yourself.

Improved bite force. You can chew more easily to enjoy a wider selection of wholesome foods to support your oral and overall health.

Cost-effective. This option tends to be less expensive than alternatives like dental bridges and dental implants.
