What Are Dentures?
Dentures are take-out dental prosthetics built to replace missing teeth and the surrounding gum tissue. They are made up of replacement teeth embedded in a flesh-toned resin foundation that sits against your oral ridge. Complete dentures replace an complete set of teeth — either the upper jaw, the mandibular arch, or the full mouth. Partial dentures replace specific missing teeth when some natural teeth still remain.
In terms of how they function, dentures function via transferring chewing load across the gum tissue and in certain cases the roof of the mouth. Full dentures rely on the fit between the base and gum ridge along with supplemental dental adhesive for extra stability. Partial dentures incorporate precision-fit metal clasps that grip your adjacent healthy teeth to hold them firmly while chewing.
Implant-supported dentures represent a cutting-edge variation where surgically placed posts are placed in the jawbone to offer a stronger base for the appliance. This approach eliminates movement and supports improved oral function than standard dentures. Our dental professionals will evaluate your individual needs to recommend the right choice of dentures for you.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures are often the right choice for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. Those who benefit most commonly are people who have suffered tooth loss from decay. Beyond that, anyone who struggles with maintaining nutrition due to missing teeth may find that dentures dramatically improve their overall comfort.
Patients with sufficient gum tissue and reasonably good overall health tend to experience the best outcomes with dentures. However, even those who have experienced jawbone resorption can often benefit from this solution with reline procedures.

During that visit, our dentist at ClearWave Dental & Aesthetics will go over your existing X-rays and records, complete a thorough evaluation, and outline the choices that make the most sense for your unique needs.
