Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Gaps in your grin can make once-basic tasks, like eating, speaking, and smiling confidently, much more challenging. You might experience anxiety or depression if you’re overly concerned about being judged for your looks. You could also develop gastrointestinal issues from swallowing overly large pieces of food if you’re unable to chew thoroughly. Not only that, but you might develop a lisp or slur that makes it hard to express yourself.
Whether you require a full or partial set, dentures can restore your teeth, allowing you to eat more wholesome foods, enunciate more clearly, and boost your self-esteem.
Types of Dentures
Potentially, anyone who has lost permanent teeth can benefit from dentures, but that doesn’t automatically mean they’re the best solution for everyone’s unique circumstances. Before proceeding, you must consult with Dr. Dadaciu to determine whether you’re a good candidate.
Once she examines your current condition, she’ll recommend one of the following options based on her findings:
Partial Dentures
If you’ve lost one or more teeth sporadically throughout your mouth, partial dentures might be right for you. They consist of an acrylic, gum-colored base that contains the correct number of pontics (teeth) carefully arranged to close the gaps.
They often contain metallic clasps that clip to remaining teeth to remain in place, so you might require a different solution if your teeth are overly damaged or decayed.
Full Dentures
This is the tried-and-true solution to replace entire arches with a single restoration. These also have an acrylic base and contain enough teeth to rebuild an entire row of lost teeth. They’re designed to look and feel like the ones that went missing to improve your grin’s appearance and functionality.
They form a firm suction to your connective tissues to stay put all day, so Dr. Dadaciu will ensure there’s no gum disease present before moving forward.
Implant Dentures
This procedure involves surgically placing four to eight titanium rods into your jawbone to support specially designed dentures for a more permanent solution. It takes three to six months or more to recover, because your mouth must produce enough new bone growth to fuse with the material, adding strength and stability.
The Benefits of Dentures
There are several advantages to getting dentures in Delray Beach, including:
- Customized design. They’re created to look as realistic as possible and fit like a glove for increased comfort.
- Boosted confidence. With them in place, you’ll have a beautifully restored smile that you can feel proud of.
- Improved bite force. You’ll regain a good portion of your ability to bite and chew, so it’s easier to consume healthy foods to support your oral and overall well-being.
- Enhanced enunciation. You’ll once again have complete arches of teeth to press your tongue against to form different sounds.
- Easy maintenance. Keeping them clean is as easy as removing them twice daily to wash and floss them, and leaving them to soak in water or a special cleaning solution at night. You should also visit Dr. Dadaciu every six months for a routine checkup and cleaning to avoid common problems, like gum disease.
