Who's a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Almost anyone with missing teeth can get dentures regardless of how many they are missing. The first step to receiving one of these remarkable prosthetic appliances is to schedule a consultation at our Vero Beach office so one of our skilled dentists can evaluate your oral health and determine if you can be eligible for the treatment. If we find that you are not ready for dentures yet, you may be able to become an excellent candidate later after receiving periodontal therapy or restorative dental procedures.
Effects of Missing Teeth
Teeth can be lost due to injury, age, infections like tooth decay and gum disease, or genetic factors, and tooth loss can lead to a range of oral and overall health issues. A few of these include:
- Facial sagging
- Difficulty speaking clearly
- Trouble eating that can lead to malnutrition or indigestion
- Diminished self-esteem due to displeasure with one’s appearance
- Less willingness to smile, which can make socializing difficult
What Qualifies You for Dentures?
Dentures can be an effective and affordable way to help patients who have experienced extensive tooth loss, severe decay, or intense dental sensitivity as long as they have sufficiently healthy gum tissue and jawbones. After receiving dentures, you’ll need to commit to a strict oral hygiene routine to keep your mouth healthy and your appliance in excellent shape.
The number of teeth that you have lost will ultimately determine the best type of denture for you. We offer partial dentures that can replace one or several missing teeth throughout the mouth and full dentures that can replace a whole dental arch. If you’re looking for way to ensure that you have maximum chewing power and your appliance lasts for as long as possible, securing your dentures with dental implants can allow you to enjoy a stronger, sturdier, and more lifelike smile.
Alternative Tooth-Replacement Options
There’s more than one way to replace lost teeth. If dentures aren’t right for you, we also offer alternatives like:
Dental bridges: These appliances consist of several artificial teeth strung between two dental crowns. A dental bridge can replace up to four sequential lost pearly whites, and it will require the healthy teeth on either side of the gap to be modified so the prosthetic device can be fixed in place.
Dental implants: These titanium posts are surgically placed in the jaw and fused with the surrounding bone tissue through the natural process of osseointegration, which gives them the sturdy hold they need to support lifelike dental restorations, exert optimal chewing power, and last for decades. While these appliances are more costly than dentures, they are permanent.
Types of Dentures
Depending on your personal preferences and needs, we can provide one of three types of dentures:
- Full dentures – A whole arch of prosthetic teeth is attached to a pink acrylic base that rests on your gums, staying in place via natural suction and/or adhesive.
- Partial dentures – A metal framework containing an appropriate number of replacement teeth attaches to your remaining teeth, expertly filling the empty spaces.
- Implant dentures – A full or partial denture can be anchored onto artificial tooth roots called dental implants. Thanks to this support, implant dentures in Vero Beach are often just as stable as natural teeth.
Benefits of Dentures
As a popular tooth replacement, dentures have a lot to offer. For instance, dentures:
- Are an affordable way to replace multiple missing teeth at once.
- Renew your self-confidence.
- Make it easier to chew nutritious foods.
- Are removable for simple cleaning.
- Can last for up to 10 years with the right maintenance.
