When you picture dentures, you probably imagine them replacing a mouth full of missing teeth. No doubt, dentures are a wonderful solution for full smile replacement. But they are also a versatile solution for patients who are missing just a few teeth. Read on to learn about the different types of dentures, and how they might be able to benefit your smile.

Do I Need My Teeth Removed To Get Dentures?

While you need to have teeth missing in order to warrant dentures, you won’t actually have to get the remaining healthy teeth removed. If you’re missing just a few teeth, you can still get dentures. You’ll be a candidate for a partial denture rather than a full set. We’ll work with you to keep your remaining teeth strong!

Who Is Eligible for Dentures?

In addition to having one or more missing teeth, there are a few other considerations that are important when determining whether or not dentures will be a good solution. You might be a good candidate for full or partial dentures if you have weak bones that won’t accept a dental implant or have a decaying tooth that needs to be extracted. Dentures will give you a confidence boost and allow you to smile without worrying about the state of your teeth.
