Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Most patients missing one or more teeth are candidates for dentures, regardless of age or how many teeth need to be replaced. The best candidates have good overall oral health, with healthy gums to support their future restoration.
If you have gum disease or other issues, it doesn't automatically mean you can't get dentures—Dr. More will just need to treat these first to ensure your prosthetic will stay comfortable and firmly in place. The best way to know for sure if you're a candidate is to schedule a consultation, where our team will evaluate your smile and walk you through your options.
Types of Dentures
Not all dentures are made the same. In fact, there are several models, each with different strengths. The one you need depends on how many teeth you're missing and your personal goals. Our Matthews practice offers partial dentures, full dentures, and implant-supported dentures, each designed to complete your smile with different approaches and price points.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth scattered along an arch. The gum-colored base holds your artificial teeth while a metal frame attaches to your remaining healthy teeth via loops or bars. This adds stability and restores bite force so you can eat more of your favorite foods.
Full Dentures
Full dentures replace an entire arch of missing teeth using a gum-colored base and lifelike artificial teeth. Unlike partial or implant dentures, they rely on suction and muscle control to stay in place. Modern traditional dentures are both affordable and lifelike.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures anchor to titanium implant posts placed into your jawbone for a fixed, stable fit. These prosthetics are the only ones of the three that actively stimulate your jawbone as you chew, helping keep it healthy and looking youthful over time.
The Benefits of Dentures
Dentures offer a lifeline to people who are missing multiple teeth. Some of their incredible benefits include:
