Am I a Good Candidate for Dentures?
If you’re unsure whether you are a candidate for dentures, the first step to take is to schedule an appointment with Dr. Bal. It is during this visit that he will evaluate your smile and take images of your teeth, gums, and bone. Based on his findings, you will be recommended for a full, partial, or implant denture.
If multiple missing teeth exist along a row, a partial denture will help you to smile again. If an entire arch of teeth is missing, you may find that a full denture can give you the results you desire. It’s also possible that if your jawbone is dense enough, and your oral and overall health are in good shape, a denture secured by dental implants can offer longer-lasting results.
The Types of Dentures
When discussing tooth replacement solutions, three are currently available: partial dentures, full dentures, and implant dentures.
- Partial Denture – Much like a puzzle piece that fits perfectly into place, a partial denture fills in the gaps. With metal clasps that attach to regular teeth, this unique design blends real and artificial teeth so that no one will ever know the difference.
- Full Denture – Similar to a partial, full dentures do not require metal clasps but instead natural suction. Using the same acrylic base and artificial teeth as partials, these prosthetics replace entire arches of missing teeth, delivering fully restored appearances.
- Implant Dentures – While the denture itself is much like its traditional counterpart, the way it attaches is vastly different. Instead of relying on suction and denture adhesive, implant dentures are secured to four to six titanium posts that are surgically placed within the jawbone, creating a permanent foundation for your smile.
Implant Dentures
If permanence is what you’re looking to achieve, implant dentures can deliver. As part of a multi-step process, these titanium posts look and act like tooth roots helping to stimulate the jawbone and fuse with surrounding tissues to create a firm, solid, and permanent base for customized restorations.
Minor oral surgery is required to place the dental implants, but after thorough healing, a full or partial denture is attached to not only help improve your appearance, but also restore most of your bite force and chewing power. This means that you are free to eat the foods you love.
You’ll also enjoy the positive impact your new teeth have on your mental, emotional, and physical health – all factors that can help to improve your overall well-being.
