Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Qualifying for dentures isn’t hard, assuming you have good oral health. Almost any adult with missing teeth can be a potential candidate for these prosthetics; the treatment requirements aren’t strict. All that said, some people do benefit from dentures more than others. One patient may be better off with other tooth replacements, while another may lack the healthy gums to support dentures.

Given these facts, please consult our dentists to confirm your treatment candidacy. They’ll closely assess your smile to see if dentures would help.

Types of Dentures

Here at our office, we offer several types of dentures with distinct strengths. We’ll recommend one of the following kinds to you (if any) after your oral exam:

Partial Dentures

Per their name, partial dentures only replace a few teeth. They thus fit snugly over the gums through suction, or they clasp onto nearby “abutments” (i.e., nearby natural teeth) present. Once securely in place, their pink acrylic bases and color-matched teeth let them blend seamlessly with your smile.

Full Dentures

Unlike a partial one, a full denture “restores” an entire arch of teeth at once. The device must therefore rely on suction force for security; it can’t (and doesn’t) depend on abutments. However, a full denture still has one thing in common with a partial type: it fits snugly and comfortably over the gums.

Implant Dentures

Patients who want a “permanent” solution should consider implant dentures. Rather than suction or clasps, these kinds secure themselves with dental implants that fuse with your jaw. That means an implant denture won’t slip or fall off as a traditional one could. Better yet, this appliance will prevent and reverse cases of facial collapse.

The Benefits of Dentures

By getting dentures in Westbury, you’ll enjoy benefits like:

  • A Beautiful Smile – Modern dentures look incredibly realistic, as they’re composed of high-quality materials. Your friends and family won’t notice they aren’t “real” teeth.
  • Improved Nutrition – By helping you chew and eat a wider range of food, dentures expand your meal options and improve your nutritional health.
  • Boost in Confidence – Since they restore one’s full smile, dentures give their patients large boosts in confidence. Using them should help you feel more self-assured about your looks.
  • Cost-Effectiveness – Even as dentures work well, they have lower prices than dental bridges and dental implants. Patients with tight budgets would find them very cost-effective.
