Who's a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Generally speaking, if you have lost an entire row of teeth or you’re missing multiple teeth throughout a single arch, dentures can potentially be a suitable solution. So, if you are struggling with moderate to severe tooth loss, you shouldn’t hesitate to schedule a consultation! The sooner you do, the sooner we can figure out if you’re a suitable candidate for this tried-and-true tooth-replacement option!
Effects of Missing Teeth
Oftentimes, the negative impact on their self-esteem is enough to motivate patients to explore their treatment options. However, that’s not the only reason we recommend scheduling a consultation with us. Tooth loss can also lead to several serious oral health problems (including dental drift), negatively impact your speaking patterns, and even lead to indigestion. To put it simply, rebuilding your smile with dentures can positively impact virtually every area of your life – from your confidence to your overall health.
What Qualifies You for Dentures?
Dentures are ideal for patients who are struggling with mild to severe tooth loss. Outside of that, there’s really only one thing we need to consider: the state of your oral health. For example, if your gums are infected or one of your teeth is badly decayed, then we will need to provide the necessary restorative care before working on your custom restoration. That way, the final result is a smile that is healthy and looks incredible.
Alternative Tooth-Replacement Options
Are you only missing one tooth? Maybe you’re missing an entire arch of teeth, but you want to anchor your restoration in place with dental implants. Good news: we can still help! We’re proud to offer dental bridges and implants at our office, and you can learn a little more about each right here.
- Dental bridges – As you may have guessed from the name, dental bridges are designed to literally bridge the gap. This is accomplished with prosthetic teeth that are custom-made to blend in seamlessly with the surrounding ones, ensuring the restoration fits comfortably and doesn’t draw any unwanted attention to your smile.
- Dental implants – This tooth-replacement solution has skyrocketed in popularity. Since they can replace the entire structure of your tooth, they are custom-made for each patient, and they can last for several decades with proper care, it’s not hard to see why either! If you are interested in learning more, let us know!
Now there’s only one thing left to do: schedule a consultation with our Vienna dental team! That way, we can get to know you, review your dental history, learn about your smile goals, and determine the best way to rebuild your smile.
Types of Dentures
There’s more than one kind of denture available; the one that our team recommends in your case will vary depending on your needs. You can learn more about the different types of dentures below.
Partial Dentures
When only some of the teeth in a single arch are missing, a partial denture can be designed to fit into the gaps like a puzzle piece. The prosthesis is held in place with the help of metal clasps, and you can take it out of your mouth at any time.
Full Dentures
A full denture replaces all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Unlike a partial denture, it doesn’t come with clasps; instead, it relies on suction to stay anchored to the gums. The full dentures that we provide have a lifelike appearance thanks to the natural-looking materials used to make them.
Implant Dentures
A certain number of dental implant posts (usually around four to six) can be surgically inserted into your jaw in order to act as support for partial and full dentures. Implant dentures come with many advantages, such as improved stability, enhanced chewing power, and the ability to prevent bone loss in the jaw.
The Benefits of Dentures
A personalized denture will make it possible for you to eat more kinds of foods again, and it can improve your ability to speak clearly enough to be easily understood by others. On top of that, you’ll find that your prosthesis is relatively easy to take care of, and it can often last for a decade or even longer, provided that it receives the right kind of maintenance.
