What Type Of Dentures Are Best For Me?

Have you just decided to get dentures? Congrats on taking a big step toward a more confident smile! Before you’re outfitted with your dentures, there’s another important decision you must make: What type of dentures to get. Dentures are a time-tested way to replace missing teeth, and these days, there are more varieties than ever that cater to different needs. Here are some things you can keep in mind when choosing the best option:

Consider The Number Of Missing Teeth

One of the main factors that will determine which type of dentures you should get is how many teeth you’re replacing. For example, if you’re missing all the teeth in an arch, complete dentures may be right for you. If you still have some natural teeth left, partial dentures, which are designed around the remaining teeth, are probably the better choice.

Factor In Your Lifestyle

Aside from how many teeth dentures replace, they also differ in how they stay in place. Some dentures are secured by suction or denture adhesive. Nowadays, there are also implant-supported dentures, which are considered more stable because they’re attached to individual dental implants placed in the jawbone. Which kind is best for you will depend on a mixture of factors including your budget and your oral health.
