The Different Types of Dentures

  • Full dentures will replace all of your teeth. You can choose a denture to restore your upper teeth, lower teeth, or your entire smile. A full denture has a plastic base that will match the natural color of your gum tissue. The base will fit around your gums, and denture adhesive will provide further stability.
  • Partial dentures replace a large number of missing teeth. Like full dentures, these restorations have a gum-colored plastic base. Small clasps will keep your prosthetic in place, and they will be carefully hidden for a discreet, natural look.
  • Implant-supported dentures are permanent dental replacements. Dr. Dooley does not perform implant placement, but he can refer you to a local oral surgeon. He or she will position several dental implant posts in your jawbone, and then Dr. Dooley can attach your full or partial denture to the top of the posts.

Are Dentures Right for You?

Dentures can be a life-changing solution for those missing multiple teeth, but they’re not right for everyone. Factors to consider include the condition of your gums and jawbone, your overall oral health, and your lifestyle. If you’re unsure whether dentures are the right choice, book a consultation with Dr. Dooley. He and his team will evaluate your needs and recommend the best treatment option for you.

Factors to Consider

  • Good oral health is crucial for successful denture wear. We can assist you in addressing any underlying gum or tooth issues before getting dentures.
  • A healthy jawbone is essential for supporting dentures. If you’ve been missing teeth for a long time, your jawbone may have begun to atrophy. In some cases, bone grafting may be necessary before receiving dentures.
  • Your lifestyle can influence your denture needs. If you’re an athlete or participate in activities that put a lot of stress on your mouth, you may need more durable dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Will My Dentures Last?

The better you care for them, the longer they’ll last. With proper care, your dentures can last for years – regular brushing, flossing, and soaking can help keep your dentures in shape. But remember, even the best dentures need regular check-ups from your dentist to make sure they fit right and are in good condition.

Will they feel unnatural to wear?

It’s normal to feel a bit uncomfortable or awkward when you first start wearing dentures. Your mouth needs time to adjust to the new sensation. But don’t worry! Over time, they’ll feel completely normal.

Can I eat and drink normally?

You can enjoy most foods and drinks with dentures. Just avoid super hard, sticky, or chewy stuff, and watch out for really hot drinks; they can warp your dentures.

Can I still play sports and participate in other physical activities?

You can definitely play sports with dentures. But it’s a good idea to wear a sports guard to protect them from damage. If you’re into contact sports, a stronger denture material or a denture adhesive might be a good idea.
