Types of Dentures

We craft all our dentures out of reliable, natural-looking materials like dental porcelain and gum-colored acrylic to ensure your new smile looks good as new! Depending on the extent of your tooth loss, you may benefit from:

Partials

Partial dentures (sometimes simply called partials) are a good choice for patients missing several teeth. This type of denture is designed to fit around and between the remaining healthy teeth, similar to a puzzle piece. Small, discrete wires wrap around the natural tooth structure for seamless results.

Full Dentures

A full denture can replace an entire arch of missing teeth with one beautiful restoration. These replacement teeth are set into a gum-colored base that’s been custom-made to fit closely over the gums. This creates a strong natural suction that secures the denture in place as you talk and eat.

Implant Dentures

Alternatively, you can anchor your denture in place with dental implants. Instead of sitting on the gums or wrapping around remaining teeth, this type of denture is secured with a few dental implants that are placed directly into the jawbone. While this process typically takes longer, the end result is a comfortable, highly functional restoration that can potentially last a lifetime!

Who’s a Good Candidate for Dentures?

Dentures are a good choice for those suffering from moderate to severe tooth loss. To be considered a good candidate for dentures, you’ll need to have a healthy mouth. Once we’ve addressed any issues such as tooth decay, gum disease, or unhealthy teeth that need to be extracted, we can move on to fitting you with dentures. If you’re interested in implant dentures, you’ll also need to be in good overall health and have adequate jawbone density. Would dentures be a good choice for you? Read more to find out.

Effects of Missing Teeth

Living with an incomplete smile will not only cause you to feel self-conscious about your appearance but also make it harder to eat certain foods and speak clearly. These changes to your daily life will eventually take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being, too. This is why it’s important that you seek professional help to have your missing teeth replaced.

With custom-made dentures designed specifically for your smile, you can walk away feeling more confident than ever before.

What Qualifies You for Dentures?

To qualify for dentures, you need to have at least one or more missing teeth. You also need to be in good general overall health. If we suspect you have existing gum disease or tooth decay, we will decide how best to move forward. This may be to administer gum disease treatment or perform tooth extraction. While we ideally want you to keep your natural teeth for as long as possible, it can be in your best interest that we remove multiple teeth, especially if they are at risk of falling out.

We will also need to make sure you have enough jawbone density to support your dentures, especially full traditional ones that only rest on top of the gumline.

Alternative Tooth-Replacement Options

Implant dentures

If for some reason dentures are not the ideal treatment option for your missing teeth, there are alternatives you can choose from, such as:

  • Dental Bridges – As custom-made prosthetics that attach to healthy tooth structures, these are designed using two dental crowns and free-standing pontics (artificial teeth) and can last up to a decade with the right type of care.   
  • Dental Implants – Dental implants are unlike dental bridges and dentures in that they require titanium implant posts to screw into the jawbone for maximum support. Once in place and fused with the jawbone, they can easily hold up an implant bridge or denture depending on how many teeth you are missing.

The Benefits of Dentures

Dentures have been a tried-and-true tooth-replacement option for decades, and it’s easy to see why! They offer several notable benefits, including:

Ability to Eat a Full, Varied Diet

Whether there is a large gap in your smile, you’re missing several teeth throughout your mouth, or you don’t have any of your natural teeth left, it can be difficult to chew nutrient-dense foods like whole apples, nuts, and raw celery. The good news is that dentures can restore some of your bite power, allowing you to enjoy a full, varied diet again!

Enjoy a More Youthful Appearance

With tooth loss comes bone loss in your jaw. That combined with the “sunken-in” appearance that comes with considerable gaps in your smile can leave you with an aged look. Fortunately, dentures can fill the open spaces in your smile, filling out your cheeks in the process. Plus, the replacement teeth are custom-made to fit, feel, and look extremely natural, so no one will know that they aren’t real.

Cost-Effective

Another perk of dentures is that they are more cost-effective than other tooth-replacement options, like dental implants. They are often covered in part by dental insurance providers as well. So, if you are currently insured, there’s a chance that you won’t have to pay for your restoration entirely out-of-pocket.

Note: We also offer our patients in Spring several other financial solutions, including our very own membership plan. So, there’s more than one way to make dentures affordable!

Clearer Enunciation

To form words, your tongue moves against the back of your teeth. The different flows of air create words, which is why patients with tooth loss often experience difficulty enunciating clearly. Again, dentures can help in this regard. Since they fill the open spaces in your smile (or all of your teeth, in some cases), they restore your speaking patterns as well as the strength of your bite.

Prevents Dental Drift

Have you heard of dental drift? This is when the teeth surrounding the gap begin to move out of position, negatively impacting the alignment of your bite and the look of your smile. That’s why we recommend exploring your tooth-replacement options prior to having a tooth extracted (or as soon as possible following tooth loss from gum disease or another oral health problem).

Addresses Moderate to Severe Tooth Loss

While dental bridges can only replace one tooth or several teeth in a row, dentures are a bit more versatile. In fact, they’ve helped patients who are missing anywhere from a few teeth to entire arch of teeth! Simply put, if you’re struggling with moderate to severe tooth loss, there’s a good chance that dentures are an option.

Understanding the Cost of Dentures

After reading through the types of dentures and the benefits, you may be wondering how much they cost. After all, it’s hard to commit to a treatment without knowing the price. While there isn’t a flat fee, there are a few factors that will help you determine the cost. To learn what they are, read on!

Factors that Affect the Cost of Dentures

One of the biggest perks of dentures in Spring is that they are completely customized to your dental needs. As a result, your treatment plan will vary depending on a few important factors:

  • The need for preliminary treatments, such as tooth extractions and gum disease therapy
  • The number of teeth you are missing (this will determine the type of denture you need)
  • The materials your dentures are made of

It goes without saying that cheaper isn’t necessarily better, especially when it comes to your smile and bite. Investing in quality dentures will benefit your confidence, oral health, overall well-being, and, in the long run, your wallet. Don’t worry – our denture dentist in Spring will review each of your treatment options and answer any questions you have during your initial consultation.

Are Implant Dentures More Expensive?

Since implant dentures require oral surgery, they naturally come with a higher price tag. Before you dismiss this option, however, it’s important to consider the numerous benefits they provide. To start, unlike traditional dentures, implant-retained ones stimulate your jawbone, preserving your youthful face shape in the process. Furthermore, implant dentures provide increased biting power and last for 10+ years with proper care. As a result, they may end up being the most cost-effective option in the long run.

Does Dental Insurance Cover Dentures?

Although the answer ultimately depends on your dental plan, most patients can expect some coverage from their dental insurance provider. If you are unsure of your benefits, our team would be happy to help! Since we are in-network with several of the nation’s leading providers, we have the knowledge and experience needed to help you maximize your coverage and understand the cost.

Other Options for Making Dentures Affordable
