Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
You may be a good candidate for dentures if:
- You are suffering from the effects of tooth loss. Dentures can restore your ability to eat most foods, speak clearly, and smile with confidence.
- You have lost more than a few teeth. Generally, dentures are recommended for people who have lost all or most of their teeth throughout an arch. If you have lost just a few teeth, we may recommend a different form of tooth replacement.
- Your gums are healthy. Dentures rely on your gums for support, so it is important that you are free of gum disease.
Types of Dentures
When you visit your dentist in Lebanon for a consultation, they will thoroughly examine your mouth and learn about you as a person. Then, they will be able to recommend the tooth replacement solution that best fits your needs, preferences, and budget. They might suggest that you invest in one of the following types of dentures:
Partial Dentures
If you have troublesome and unsightly gaps between your natural teeth, but those teeth are still fairly healthy, a partial denture might be right for you. This type of prosthetic is sort of like a puzzle piece that fits in exactly where it is needed. It allows your remaining natural teeth to stay in place. A partial denture is usually secured in the mouth by small metal attachments.
Full Dentures
Traditional full dentures replace an entire arch of lost teeth. They consist of a gum-colored base and a complete row of artificial teeth (which are usually made of acrylic or porcelain). They are designed to fit securely and comfortably on your gums, and they stay in place with the help of natural suction or a mild adhesive.
Implant Dentures
Dental implants are prosthetic tooth roots that get inserted into the jawbone during a minimally invasive surgery. We can use them to provide the base of support for dentures. Although implant dentures tend to cost more than traditional ones, they are also stronger, sturdier, and longer-lasting. We often recommend them for patients who want to experience the gold standard in tooth replacement.
