Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures are mostly reserved for patients who are missing some, most, or all of their teeth. Of course, our team will need to confirm that you’re free of any underlying issues, including gum disease, so that there won’t be complications later on. We will evaluate your oral health during your consultation and then develop a treatment plan to help rebuild your smile while meeting your specific dental needs.
Types of Dentures
To rebuild your smile, we offer several types of dentures to get the job done. We will discuss your options during your initial visit. Until then, here’s what you can expect from the different types of prosthetics:
Partial Dentures
These kinds of dentures are usually designed to provide a gum-colored base while replacing several missing teeth, sometimes in different locations of a patient’s dental arch. Like a puzzle piece, partial dentures fit neatly in place via clips of brackets that attach to nearby natural teeth, offering a convenient tooth replacement.
Full Dentures
A full denture consists of a base and artificial teeth that are meant to replace your entire dental arch of missing teeth. Instead of using brackets to clasp your teeth, the base is supported via natural suction on the gum line. You can consult our team about denture adhesives if you require assistance in keeping your prosthetics in place as you get used to wearing them. Full dentures are also removable and will need to be removed for both cleaning and while you sleep.
Implant Dentures
Instead of relying on your gums or natural teeth, we can place dental implants into your jawbone to support your dentures. By utilizing metal posts as new tooth roots, you’ll be able to enjoy stronger and longer-lasting results, which can also help you regain about 80% or more of your natural biting power. With proper care, your implant dentures can last decades.

- Improved biting power
