Dentures – Dallas, TX

Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Those who suffer most from tooth loss effects are the best denture candidates. Such people may have trouble eating, as lacking teeth can make it challenging to chew. They can also struggle to speak, given that pearly whites help pronunciation. Almost always, though, good candidates will feel embarrassed to smile.

 

Of course, not everyone with missing teeth may need dentures. For example, someone who doesn’t lack all the teeth along an arch might benefit from a different treatment. On the other hand, a prospect may not have the healthy gums necessary to support dentures properly.

 

Types of Dentures

Prior to an actual denture treatment, you’ll need to consult with Dr. Ludlow or Dr. Azimi . That way, you can get an idea of how your results will look. A consultation will also help our team learn your smile goals, medical history, etc.

 

Based on this initial discussion, we’ll recommend one of three types of dentures. The possible options include:

 

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are custom-made for each patient and only replace a few teeth. They work best when filling large gaps between your pearly whites.

 

A partial denture’s base is made of plastic (resin), cast metal, or porcelain. Regardless of material, however, the prosthetic has a framework and clasps to connect it to your other teeth.

 

Full Dentures

A full denture, unlike a partial one, restores an entire arch of teeth. As such, it relies on suction to stay secure instead of clasps or frameworks.

 

Complete dentures have the same materials for their bases as other kinds. That said, they’re adjusted to fit comfortably over your gums.

 

Implant Dentures

Consider implant dentures if you’d like a more permanent and unwavering option. These models rely on dental implants to stay secure. Consequently, they won’t have some of the downsides of traditional dentures.

 

Implant dentures also have unique benefits. One, for instance, is that they won’t ever slip or fall from your mouth.

The Benefits of Dentures

With dentures in Dallas, you could enjoy a wide variety of perks. The most common of these are:

 

• A Natural-Looking Smile : Since dentures are custom-made, you can trust that they look like natural teeth and blend seamlessly with your smile.
• A Better Diet : Dentures make it easier to bite and chew your favorite foods. Therefore, they let you eat a more nutritious diet that improves your overall health.
• A Younger Face : Due to relying on dental implants, implant dentures can prevent facial collapse. That fact means the prosthetics will keep your cheeks from looking hollow!
