Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

If you’re missing several of your teeth, including a full arch, then it’s very likely that you’re a good candidate for dentures. Dentures can be crafted to replace numerous teeth throughout the mouth. To begin, you’ll meet with Dr. Eric Thornton for a consultation. He’ll help you determine what type of denture will fit your specific needs. If necessary, he’ll work with you to make a plan to address any oral health issues that may be hindering your candidacy, such as gum disease.

Types of Dentures

Dentures can be broken up into three main categories. The one that’s best for you will depend on how many teeth you’re missing as well as a few other factors.

Partial Dentures

This restoration fits around existing teeth and fills in the gaps like a puzzle piece. The custom-made replacement teeth are spaced out and held together with small metal wires that are hidden out of sight.

Full Dentures

For patients missing a full arch of teeth, a full denture is the ideal solution. A gum-colored acrylic base is molded to fit your gum ridge perfectly, allowing natural suction to hold it in place. The base supports a full set of strong, lifelike replacement teeth.

Implant Dentures

For patients who are looking for a more permanent solution, we can pair their dentures with dental implants. These small titanium posts are inserted into the jawbone where the fuse with the bone and form a solid foundation. The denture is then attached to the implants, forming an implant denture that is the closest thing to natural teeth. This option requires more time, money, and oral health than traditional dentures. Dr. Thornton will help you decide if implant dentures are right for you.
