Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Dentures can help patients experiencing different types of tooth loss, making them more versatile than many people believe they are. Whether you’re missing several teeth across your arch or an entire row, these prosthetics can be designed in ways that accommodate your unique situation, providing you with maximum functionality. We recommend dentures for patients who are looking for not only a way to rebuild their grin, but also improve their quality of life and oral and physical health.

Types of Dentures

As mentioned above, there are different types of dentures designed to aid patients facing various tooth loss situations. At your initial consultation with our board-certified prosthodontist in New Bedford, we’ll walk you through all of your appropriate tooth replacement options, which could include any of the treatments below.  

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are designed to fit between existing teeth like a puzzle piece to fill several gaps left across your arch. They’re made from several different materials, including a metal base, a gum-colored acrylic foundation, and acrylic, porcelain, or ceramic replacement teeth.

Full Dentures

Full dentures utilize natural suction to stay securely atop the gumline and replace an entire row of missing teeth. Like partials, they feature a gum-colored acrylic base and ceramic, porcelain, or acrylic replacement teeth designed to match the shade of your existing dental enamel.

Implant Dentures

To improve your prosthetic’s function, strength, and stability, we can anchor it to your mouth with anywhere from four to eight dental implants. These are small, screw-like structures that resemble tooth roots and are placed beneath the gumline and inti the jawbone. When supported by implants, dentures don’t slip or shift.
