The Benefits of Dentures

After a short time living with any number of missing teeth, you’ll come to appreciate the difference that dentures can make! Benefits include:

• Speaking Clearly: A full set of teeth is essential for pronouncing certain words.
• A Healthy Diet: Patients without teeth are often limited to a liquid diet, which results in poor nutrition; with dentures, you’ll be able to enjoy many different kinds of food.
• Confidence: False teeth are designed to resemble natural teeth as closely as possible, so go ahead and flash your biggest, most confident smile.

The Difference between Partial and Full Dentures

Partial dentures, which are often just called partials, consist of multiple teeth attached to a gum colored base. Unlike a crown and bridge, which is fixed in place, partials are normally secured with clips and brackets, so they can easily be taken out for cleaning.

A full denture replaces a complete upper or lower row of teeth and may be secured by natural suction or over-the-counter denture adhesive.

Implant-Supported Dentures

As popular as traditional dentures and partials are, a growing number of patients are turning to implant-supported dentures for help creating a healthier and more complete smile. With dentures that are held in place by dental implants, your dentures will fit more securely, providing you with results that look and feel more natural.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Any patient with missing teeth is a potential candidate for either partial or full dentures. Partials are used when there are some empty spaces in an arch that still has a lot of healthy teeth. Full dentures are only used if all or most of your teeth are missing; any remaining teeth are extracted first.

If you want to get dentures that are supported by implants, you’ll need to be in excellent oral health. That means gum disease and other conditions need to be treated first. Also, some patients might need to get a bone graft before their jaws can successfully support implants.
