Are You a Good Candidate for Dentures?
January 4, 2018
If you have several missing teeth then you should know that there are many great treatment options available. For generations people have relied on dentures to replace missing or broken teeth and today’s dentures are better than ever. Made with state-of-the-art materials for a lighter, more comfortable fit, these denture sets look natural and feel great. You can go through your day with confidence knowing that your smile looks fantastic. You can enjoy many of your favorite foods again with security, too. Biting, chewing, speaking, and socializing can be easy and natural once again. Let prosthodontist Dr. Gielincki help you discover if dentures are a good fit for you. Although denture treatment is a great solution for replacing missing teeth, it is not perfect for everyone. A consultation is the first step towards learning if you are a good candidate for this form of treatment.
Who Is a Candidate for Denture Treatment?
There are two primary qualifications that patients must meet in order to be considered as a candidate for denture treatment. A patient should:
- Have suffered significant tooth loss in the upper and/or lower jaw
- Have an appropriate amount of healthy bone and gum tissue
In cases of less significant tooth loss, other forms of bridgework may be used to correct this problem; a full set of dentures may not be called for.
We offer full or complete denture sets for patients as well as partial sets. Our partial sets can be fixed or removable. Even better, we offer immediate placement; we can set dentures on the same day that teeth are removed.
