Best Candidates for Each Denture Type

Choosing the right type of denture depends on your oral health, lifestyle, and personal preferences. At Parksville Denture Clinic, we help patients make informed choices by explaining the benefits of different denture solutions. Whether you are considering implant-retained dentures, suction dentures, or traditional options, understanding the differences can guide you toward the best fit for your needs.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Best for: Patients with healthy jawbone structure who want a secure, long-term solution.
Benefits: Exceptional stability, improved chewing power, prevention of bone loss, and a natural look and feel.
Considerations: Requires dental implants, which involve a surgical procedure and higher upfront cost.

Lower Suction Dentures

Best for: Patients with good oral tissue support who want enhanced comfort without implants.
Benefits: Strong suction fit on the lower arch, increased stability compared to standard dentures, and no surgery required.
Considerations: May not be suitable for patients with significant bone loss or certain oral conditions.

Traditional Full or Partial Dentures

• Best for: Patients seeking a more affordable and straightforward solution for tooth replacement.
• Benefits: Restores appearance and function, non-surgical, customizable for partial or full tooth loss.
• Considerations: Less stability than implant or suction dentures, may require adhesives, and more frequent adjustments over time.

Factors to Consider When Choosing

• Oral Health: Bone density, gum health, and overall condition play a big role.
• Lifestyle: Consider diet, activity level, and how much stability you need daily.
• Budget: Each option varies in cost, with traditional dentures being the most affordable and implants requiring higher investment.
• Long-Term Goals: Think about comfort, maintenance, and whether you prefer a removable or fixed solution.
