Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Whether you’ve lost a few teeth or an entire row, dentures are a versatile choice for replacing missing teeth. Generally, the only prerequisite to getting dentures is having a healthy mouth. If you have untreated gum disease, or decay in your remaining teeth, wearing dentures may be uncomfortable and even put your oral health at serious risk. For this reason, Dr. Christina Blacher or Dr. Yeri Guak will screen you for any existing oral problems during your consultation. Once we’ve addressed any pressing concerns, we can move forward with the tooth replacement process.
Types of Dentures
Depending on the state of your oral health, as well as your unique needs and preferences, your dentist in Allen may recommend a specific kind of denture to rebuild your smile. The three main types of dentures are:
Partial Dentures
If you have some natural teeth left, a partial denture can seamlessly complete your grin. This prosthetic, sometimes just called a partial, fits behind your remaining teeth using metal clips or clasps, allowing the strategically placed artificial teeth to fill the empty spaces.
Full Dentures
To bring back a whole arch of missing teeth at once, we can place a full denture. Instead of using metal wires, a full denture contains a row of replacement teeth on a pink acrylic base. This base sits on the gums and stays in place with a natural suction force.
Implant Dentures
For a truly modern tooth replacement that feels as lifelike as it looks, you’ll want an implant denture. We can expertly place anywhere from four to six dental implants along your jaw, where they function just like the roots of real teeth. Therefore, implant dentures renew your chewing power and keep your new teeth from slipping.
The Benefits of Dentures
There’s a reason why dentures are still popular after decades and even centuries: they work! Some of the benefits of dentures you can look forward to include:
- Fast treatment process
- Replacement teeth that can last for up to a decade
