Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures are considered a viable option for most patients suffering from tooth loss. Whether it’s one tooth, multiple teeth, or entire rows of teeth that need to be replaced, full, partial, and implant dentures can be the right solution to help a patient regain their confidence.
A scheduled consultation with one of our dentists in Lincoln Park is required to examine your mouth and determine whether additional procedures, such as bone grafting, tooth extraction, or gum disease treatment, are needed.
Types of Dentures
Dentures are not one-size-fits-all, nor is there only one type available. At Grand Dental – Oz Park, we happily provide full, partial, and implant dentures based on your needs, preferences, and budget.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are commonly used to replace multiple missing teeth along an arch. They do not have to sit next to each other but can be scattered along the row. Similar to a puzzle piece, it fits smoothly into place, blending in with the rest of your smile. Partial dentures are crafted with a gum-colored acrylic base that supports artificial teeth. Metal clasps that fit around healthy teeth help hold the prosthetic in place.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are made from the same materials, but they rely on natural suction to hold them in place. These traditional prosthetics have been around for centuries, although the materials used nowadays are far better than those used in the past (e.g., ivory, wood). Full dentures are crafted to fit snugly against your gums so that they remain in place while you eat and speak. However, many patients choose to apply a small portion of denture adhesive to ensure greater security.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures are unlike their traditional counterparts. Instead of using a metal framework or natural suction to remain in place, they attach to titanium implant posts that are positioned within your jawbone. Over time, they fuse, providing a stable foundation for your custom-made dentures. Instead of lasting only 8-10 years, these prosthetics remain for decades.
The Benefits of Dentures
Centuries have passed, and countless patients have reaped the rewards of custom-made dentures. Regardless of whether you choose a full, partial, or implant prosthetic, you can expect to enjoy the immense benefits of these prosthetics, some of which include:
- A more aesthetically pleasing smile that helps boost your confidence
- Greater jawbone stimulation is provided with implant dentures, so additional bone and tooth loss, as well as facial collapse, are unlikely to occur
- The ability to eat and enjoy the foods you love, no longer worrying about trying to eat without a full set of teeth
- The opportunity to speak clearly instead of slurring your words and feeling self-conscious around others
- Prosthetics that can last up to 10 years (full and partial dentures) or 30 years or more (implant dentures)
