The good news is that the issue has a reliable and time-tested solution: dentures in Painesville! With these durable restorations, our dentists can quickly and smoothly bring back your whole grin. If you’d like to learn more about them, simply keep reading or book a consultation with us.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Honestly, it doesn’t make much to qualify for dentures; almost any adult with missing teeth can get them. The only wrinkle is that they benefit some patients more than others. Patients with remaining teeth along an arch may prefer a different option, while those with unhealthy gums and jaws won’t get much help from modern dentures.

In the end, you should consult our dentists to confirm your candidacy. They can perform a thorough oral exam to see if dentures suit your smile. From there, they’ll use their findings to tailor your custom treatment plan.

Types of Dentures

If we approve your treatment, we’ll suggest you get one of three types of dentures. The possible kinds include the following:

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures only replace a few teeth, so they’re ideal for mild tooth loss. They work by fitting over your gums with suction or clasping onto nearby teeth for support. Through such methods, these dentures use a pink acrylic base and color-matched teeth to blend with your smile.

Full Dentures

A full denture (per its name) replaces an entire arch of teeth at once. That being the case, it doesn’t use clasps to secure itself; it only relies on suction or adhesives for support. Still, the device does rely on an acrylic base and artificial teeth like other dentures. These things let it fit snugly and blend seamlessly.

Implant Dentures

If you prefer a more permanent option, you should give our implant dentures a try. These kinds secure themselves with dental implants – posts that substitute for tooth roots. Because the implants fuse with your mouth, they ensure the final denture remains stable and won’t slip or fall. The full prosthetic will instead work like natural teeth and last for many years with proper care.
