Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Almost anyone with missing teeth, whether it’s several or an entire arch, might be a good candidate for dentures in Waco. Of course, you’ll need to have a consultation with our team at Heart of Texas Smiles so we can determine if this tooth-replacement solution is right for you. We’ll conduct an oral examination to assess the health of your teeth and gums. If you have any underlying dental concerns (i.e., cavities, decay, gum disease), we’ll work the appropriate care into your treatment plan to ensure your smile is in excellent condition before you get dentures.
Types of Dentures
During your consultation, we’ll assess your unique dental needs to determine which of the following options works best for you:
Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are more simply referred to as partials. They feature multiple teeth that are mounted across a gum-colored base. These replacement teeth may not be consecutively arranged, but rather spread across the base to fit like a puzzle piece between existing teeth. In most cases, partials are secured with clips or brackets and can be taken out for easy cleaning.
Full Dentures

As with a partial, full dentures feature multiple teeth attached to a gum-colored base. But in this case, the restoration is designed to replace all of the teeth along your upper or lower arch instead of just a few teeth. Full dentures can be closed or open palate and are usually held in place by natural suction, muscle strength in your cheeks, and over-the-counter denture adhesive.
Implant Dentures

If you'd like to consider a more secure alternative, you can ask about your implant-supported options. Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed at strategic points along the jaw. Depending on the type of implant-supported denture you will have, you will need between two to six dental implants. After surgery, these implants will fuse with your jawbone via a process called osseointegration. It’s what will provide the secure foundation of implant-supported dentures and partials. Since they act like prosthetic tooth roots, patients receiving dental implants can look forward to natural-looking results. Moreover, because dentures are secured to the implants, they will not shift or fall out the way removable dentures can.
