Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
People who have lost all their teeth or who have teeth that cannot be saved may be great candidates for dentures. These amazing restorative appliances are used to improve the look of a patient’s smile, fill gaps, and help prevent remaining real teeth from changing position in the mouth. A denture can improve your chewing, speech, and provide support for your facial muscles so you can preserve your smile and the youthful shape of your face.
Types of Dentures
Dentures are restorative dental appliances used to replace missing teeth and protect exposed gum tissue. There are four kinds of dentures: complete dentures, partial dentures, implant-retained removable dentures, and hybrid dentures. After a brief examination, our dentist may recommend an appliance like:
Partial Dentures
A partial denture is one or more artificial teeth supported by a gum-colored base, and it usually connects to the remaining natural teeth with metal clips. These dentures restore the appearance of the smile by filling the spaces created by tooth loss and helping prevent the remaining teeth from shifting out of place.
Full Dentures
Complete dentures are considered to be either “conventional” or “immediate”. Conventional dentures can be placed in your mouth approximately eight to twelve weeks after your teeth have been removed, which allows your gum tissue to heal before receiving the appliances. “Immediate” dentures are made before your appointment and are placed right after your teeth have been removed. This process allows you to have teeth immediately instead of having to wait to receive your final dentures.
Implant Dentures
Tooth loss can lead to jawbone atrophy which causes dental misalignments that make it difficult to speak, eat, and preserve your oral health. Dental implants can help prevent this by restoring the stimulation the jawbone needs to stay healthy and strong while holding the dentures securely in place. Most patients tell us they can eat whatever they choose with implant dentures.
Snap-on implant dentures are removable and need to be taken out for cleaning every day. However, people who don’t want to take their teeth out at night may find that hybrid dentures are the best solution for them. A hybrid denture is permanently fixed on four or more implants, which allows it to function exactly like natural teeth.

Dentures Aftercare
Even if you do not have any of your real teeth left, it is still important to maintain good oral hygiene. It is crucial to brush your gums, tongue, and palate every morning using a soft toothbrush prior to inserting your denture. This oral care will stimulate oral tissue and help remove plaque from areas in your mouth.
One thing to remember when caring for your mouth and denture is that your appliance is not indestructible. It is important to keep your denture clean and store it in a secure location when not wearing it. Every day you should remove and brush it with products specifically designed to clean dentures. You should never use hot or cold water to clean your dentures since this can cause your appliances to warp and lose their fit.
When you are not wearing your dentures, remember to soak them in lukewarm water or an approved cleansing solution. Take care to store it in a location where children and pets cannot reach it.
