Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Tooth loss can negatively affect your oral and overall health as well as your quality of life by making harder to speak clearly, chew thoroughly, and smile proudly. Dentures can be an excellent way to address extensive tooth loss, but patients who need to replace only a few teeth may be served better by another type of restoration such as a bridge or dental implant. A suitable denture candidate will be free from oral infections such as gum disease and tooth decay, but we’ll be happy to prepare you to receive your restoration by addressing these issues in our office in Fort Worth if necessary.
Types of Dentures
There are several types of dentures available, and Dr. Laska will be happy to determine the best appliance for you during your consultation. She may recommend:
Partial Dentures
Losing several teeth throughout the mouth can create large gaps in your smile that leave your gums vulnerable to injury and increase your risk of oral infection. Partial dentures are designed to replace one or more missing teeth with lifelike restorations mounted upon an acrylic base. This base may incorporate metal clips that allow the device to attach to your remaining natural teeth.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are designed to replace a complete arch of missing teeth. These devices are comprised of artificial teeth supported by an acrylic base, and it will hold its place through natural suction if it fits properly.
Implant Dentures
Securing your dentures with dental implants will allow them to exert superior chewing power and last much longer if they receive excellent care. While implant dentures are more expensive, they may save you money in the long run by negating the need for costly replacement restorations.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures can deliver a range of incredible benefits such as:
- Creating a lifelike smile
- Protecting the gums from injury
- Supporting the remaining teeth to prevent dental drift and uneven enamel wear
- Supporting the facial structure to maintain a healthy and symmetrical appearance
- Easy cleaning and maintenance requirements
