Tooth loss is a common problem that can lead to a host of oral and overall health issues like difficulty chewing, indigestion, malnutrition, and difficulty being proud of your smile. Thankfully, dentures are an effective way to replace your missing teeth with gorgeous and lifelike restorations. Here’s a quick look at dentures and how they work from the team at Montague Dental.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
The loss of even a single tooth can leave the gum tissue vulnerable to injury and redistribute the pressure of chewing unevenly among the remaining teeth, and this sets the patient up for a wide range of oral injuries and infections. Tooth loss can also make it difficult to eat and speak properly and leave someone hesitant to show their smile. Dentures can be an excellent option for almost anyone with missing teeth as long as they have healthy gum tissue, and we will be happy to perform gum disease treatments so you can qualify for dentures later if necessary. However, patients who are not missing all teeth along an arch may be served better by another restorative device.
Types of Dentures
The type of denture best for you depends on how many teeth you are missing, and we’ll be happy to determine which restoration is most suitable during your consultation. Here’s a quick look at the different kinds of dentures and how they work.
Partial Dentures
Losing several or many teeth can expose the gums to injury, provide shelter for plaque and harmful bacteria, and make it difficult to eat and speak. Partial dentures consist of artificial teeth that look just like the real thing and acrylic bases crafted to mimic the appearance of healthy gum tissue, and they usually hold their place in the mouth with metal clips designed to attach to the remaining natural teeth.
Full Dentures
A traditional full denture is designed to replace an entire arch of teeth, and it will hold its place on the gums through the mouth’s natural suction. Each of these appliances is completely customized to ensure a comfortable fit.
Implant Dentures
Securing your denture with several dental implants will allow the appliance to exert superior chewing power while lasting many times longer than traditional devices. Implant dentures are great for patients who are frustrated with their traditional dentures since they replace missing teeth with gorgeous restorations that work, look, and feel just like the real thing.
