Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

If you’ve experienced moderate to severe tooth loss, then there is a good chance that you are a good candidate for dentures. Of course, the best way to know for sure is by scheduling a personal consultation with our Worcester dentist. During this meeting, our team will examine your mouth, learn about your dental needs, and get a better understanding of your smile goals. With this information, we can determine if dentures are the right treatment for you!

Types of Dentures

There are several different types of dentures, each designed to help patients at varying stages of tooth loss. Here is a little bit more about each:

Partial Dentures

As you might have guessed, partial dentures are most ideal for patients who have a mixture of missing and natural teeth. Partials are custom-made to fill in the gaps, restoring your smile and bite like a puzzle piece. To remain in place, a discreet metal clasp attaches onto the existing teeth.

Full Dentures

Full dentures, on the other hand, are designed to replace an entire arch of teeth. A gum-colored base and custom-made prosthetic teeth are held in place with denture adhesive, natural suction, or a mixture of the two. Not only are they able to last for 10+ years with proper care, but they also are very lifelike.

Implant Dentures

Implant dentures are where tried-and-true dentures and state-of-the-art dental implants meet. In this case, several dental implants are placed strategically throughout your mouth before a denture is placed on top. The result is natural-looking, stable, and designed to last for 20+ years!

• Customization
