Who Needs  Dentures?

Anyone with significant tooth loss is a great candidate for dentures. Dentures can be used whether you have lost all of your teeth or just a few. Tooth loss can happen for several reasons, including:

  • Tooth decay
  • Periodontal disease
  • Trauma or injury

Types of Dentures

There are many different types of dentures to choose from, the main ones being: Full, partial, or immediate dentures.

Full Dentures

Full dentures are an artificial set of teeth and gums typically worn by people who need to replace a full row of teeth on the top or bottom jaw, or sometimes both. Custom made to fit comfortably in the mouth, full dentures are usually held in place by suction and/or using special denture adhesive. It is important to note that any remaining teeth must be extracted and the gums must heal before full dentures can be worn.

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures (sometimes called bridges) are used when there are enough remaining healthy natural teeth to support them. A partial denture typically consists of replacement teeth on a plastic gum-colored base with a metal framework or clasps that hold the denture in place. Partial dentures are made to match the natural teeth and, when made correctly, should blend seamlessly and be comfortable to wear. 

When there are spaces from missing teeth, partial dentures can help protect the remaining teeth. They fill spaces preventing remaining teeth from shifting and also prevent further damage to the remaining teeth caused by overcompensating for missing teeth. 

Immediate Dentures

For dentures to be worn, often there need to be extractions done. After extractions, the gums need to heal before full or partial dentures can be worn safely. Some people feel embarrassed by a few missing teeth, so losing all of their teeth and having to wait for a replacement can negatively affect their mental health. 

Immediate dentures can be worn right away after the extractions have been done, since they are specially made in advance. They can help reduce inflammation and bleeding after the extractions have been done. 

Those opting for immediate dentures do need to understand they will need to make multiple trips to the dentist to have the dentures adjusted as the gums heal and change shape.
