Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Although anyone who has lost one or more of their permanent teeth can potentially benefit from getting dentures, they’re not necessarily the best solution for every circumstance. Before you can be fitted with these artificial teeth, you’ll need to schedule a consultation with one of our dentists. They’ll examine your mouth to verify whether you’re a good candidate.
If they find signs of issues like cavities or gum disease, they’ll work with you to address these before proceeding. Because dentures rely on a firm suction against your gums on the ridges in your mouth to remain in place, the tissue must be healthy enough to support them.
Types of Dentures
There are several kinds of dentures, and if you’re like many others, you’re probably curious about which one would be best for you. Ultimately, we can’t know for certain until we’ve had a chance to perform an oral examination. Then, we’ll make a recommendation based on your current condition and needs.
More detailed information about each of the three types is included below.
Partial Dentures
If you’ve lost a few teeth but still have most of your natural ones, then partial dentures might be right for you. They have a discreet, gum-colored base that includes the correct number of pontics (artificial teeth) to fill in any spaces in your smile. It often anchors to neighboring teeth with metal clasps, so it can be easily removed for cleaning.
Full Dentures
This is probably what you imagine when you think of artificial teeth. These typically have a gum-colored acrylic base that includes a full set of ceramic teeth to replace the ones you’ve lost. This is used to refurbish all of your teeth simultaneously and is also a removable solution.
Implant Dentures
These are great for patients seeking a more permanent prosthetic. Instead of using clasps or suction to adhere to your mouth, our team will surgically insert several titanium posts into your jawbone. Then, you’ll receive specialized dentures that attach to them for added strength and stability. The only way to remove them is with professional assistance.
The Benefits of Dentures
There are many advantages to getting dentures in Dublin, including:
- Pricing. Dentures tend to be more cost-effective than alternatives like dental bridges or implants.
- Upgraded aesthetics. We use beautiful, lifelike materials to boost your confidence in your appearance.
- Restored functionality. You can once again enjoy meals and conversations more like you used to.
- Improved health. Wearing these prosthetics keeps any remaining teeth from shifting out of place to protect them from harm. Plus, you can enjoy more nutritious foods to enhance your overall well-being.
- Easy maintenance. Cleaning your restoration is as easy as removing it twice daily to brush and floss. Use a soft-bristled brush and mild dish soap to keep them looking great without abrading the material.
