Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Losing teeth can make it difficult to smile proudly, chew thoroughly, and speak clearly, and many people who are missing teeth have trouble engaging during business and social events. While dentures can be used to replace several or all of a patient’s teeth, another restoration option may be better if you are only missing a few. A suitable denture candidate will be free from gum disease and able to commit to a rigorous oral hygiene regimen to keep their appliance in good shape. If you have oral infections, the team at Great Lakes Dental Excellence will be happy to help you clear them up, which may make you a great candidate for dentures later.

Types of Dentures

There are several types of dentures available, and we’ll be happy to help you determine the best one for you during your consultation at our New Baltimore office. After examining your oral health, our dentist may recommend:

Partial Dentures

Large gaps between teeth can leave the gums vulnerable to injury and lead to the smile drifting out of alignment. Partial dentures are designed to replace one or more teeth, and they usually incorporate metal clips to hold them in place.

Full Dentures

Full dentures are designed to replace a complete arch of lost teeth and hold their place in the mouth through natural suction. Each of these appliances will be completely customized to fit the patient comfortably.

Implant Dentures

Implant dentures are anchored to the jawbone with titanium posts, which allows them to exert maximum chewing power. These devices can be an excellent and long-lasting option for patients who are frustrated with the limitations of traditional dentures.
