Who is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures are a go-to treatment for anyone missing several or all of their teeth across an arch. Depending on your preferences, board-certified prosthodontist and Diplomate of the American College of Prosthodontics Lisa Kane, DDS, MS, FACP offers traditional full and partial dentures as well as implant dentures in Bloomfield Hills. Because your gums and jawbone support your prosthetic, it is crucial to have healthy gum tissue and enough bone density to secure them in place as well. If needed, we can refer you for periodontal therapy and any other necessary preparatory procedures to ensure that you get the most out of your new teeth.
Types of Dentures
Dr. Kane offers three main types of dentures: partial dentures, full dentures and implant dentures. Our team may recommend any of the following prosthetic treatments based on your unique case:
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures utilize a custom-shaped base that is designed like a puzzle piece to fit between your existing teeth, replacing several gaps throughout your arch. Just like with traditional dentures, partials are crafted from a gum-colored acrylic base that secures natural-looking replacement teeth within the mouth.
Full Dentures
Full dentures have a specially designed base that is customized to fit atop your gumline and utilize natural suction to stay within the mouth as you chew and speak. This prosthetic has been trusted by people for centuries, and thanks to modern technological advancements and Dr. Kane’s top-tier training, she can make them look beautiful and completely functional.
Implant Dentures
Implant dentures offer the best in support and aesthetics, utilizing beautiful replacement teeth but anchoring them to dental implants that are surgically placed below the gumline. These secure the prosthetic within the mouth, eliminating any slipping or shifting and preventing the jawbone from deteriorating over time.
