Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

One great aspect of dentures is that they’re incredibly versatile and have the ability to help patients experiencing a variety of different types of tooth loss. Dr. Raiffe works closely with his patients to help determine their candidacy for the treatment. This typically includes thoroughly examining their existing teeth and gum health, helping plan preparatory treatments like tooth extractions, and gathering medical and dental health histories. Based on your unique smile goals, Dr. Raiffe and our team will outline each of your tooth replacement options for you, including your candidacy for dentures.

Types of Dentures

There are multiple different types of dentures that we may recommend based on the location of your missing teeth, the results you’re hoping to achieve, and your budget. Considering these factors, we will outline which path would be the best fit for you:

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures have a metal or acrylic base that is designed to fit like a puzzle piece between any existing teeth, slotting the replacement teeth within the arch. This is an excellent option for those who are looking to fill in gaps throughout their arch as well as maintain the alignment of their existing teeth.

Full Dentures

Full dentures are ideal for patients who are in need of a prosthetic that can replace an entire row of teeth. The base is typically crafted from gum-colored acrylic, with each of the replacement teeth being made from resin or porcelain. They’re designed to utilize natural suction within the mouth to stay securely in place atop the gumline.

Implant Dentures

For our patients looking for a more natural-feeling answer to tooth loss, we may recommend implant dentures. With the ability to replace the entire structure of the missing teeth, including the roots, this treatment can stop jawbone deterioration as well as eliminate slipping or shifting of the denture.
