Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Tooth loss is a common health problem that can leave a person more vulnerable to a host of issues like gum injuries, dental drift, low self-esteem, malnutrition, indigestion, and further tooth loss. While dentures can be an excellent restorative option for many patients who are missing all the teeth along a dental arch, others may be better served by other types of restorations like bridges and implants. You’ll need to have healthy gums to receive dentures, and we can address soft tissue infections if necessary to make you an excellent candidate for the treatment.
Types of Dentures
The skilled team at Athens Dental Associates will be happy to determine the best way to replace your lost teeth during your consultation at our office. Based on our dentist’s findings, we may recommend:
Partial Dentures
These devices are designed to replace one or several teeth throughout the mouth. They typically incorporate gum-colored acrylic bases with metal clips that allow them to connect with the patient’s remaining natural teeth.
Full Dentures
A full denture is a device designed to replace a full arch of lost teeth, and it will hold its place with natural suction if it fits well. Each appliance is completely customized to ensure the patient’s comfort.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures work almost exactly like real teeth because they are anchored to the jawbone with small titanium rods. This allows them to exert maximum chewing power and last much longer than traditional restorations, which can make them great for those who aren’t satisfied with their conventional dentures.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer a range of incredible oral health and lifestyle benefits like:
- Being completely customized to ensure a comfortable fit.
- Lifelike restorations that are virtually indistinguishable from natural teeth.
- Improving the patient’s diet.
- Making it easier to speak clearly.
- Supporting facial structure.
- A cost-effective way to replace lost teeth.
- Simple hygiene and maintenance requirements.
