Who Is a Good Candidate for Dentures?
Dentures present an excellent tooth replacement option for virtually anyone who has suffered significant tooth loss. When you attend a consultation with Dr. Guillory and the New U team, we will evaluate the specifics of your situation before we determine your candidacy for treatment and start to map out the details of the road in front of you. Even if you are not currently a candidate for dentures, you may become one after some restorative care.
Effects of Missing Teeth
Whether you lost your teeth due to gum disease, physical trauma, or other causes, you may face a number of difficulties due to your incomplete smile. For example:
- You may not be able to eat a nutritious, balanced diet that properly supports your overall health.
- You may feel self-conscious because of the way your mouth and cheeks look. Your social life and emotional wellness could suffer as a result.
- Your gums may easily become irritated when you try to eat certain foods.
- Because clear speech depends on interactions between the tongue and teeth, it may be challenging for you to speak precisely and confidently.
What Qualifies You for Dentures?
Dentures may be right for you if:
- You have lost all or most of your teeth throughout one or both of your dental arches.
- You still have many of your natural teeth, but they are badly decayed, worn down, or damaged in other ways.
- Your gum tissue and jawbone are healthy enough to support a set of prosthetic teeth.
- You are looking for a cost-effective way to rebuild your smile.
During your consultation, we will consider your situation in order to determine which type of denture best fits your circumstances.
Alternative Tooth Replacement Options
Dentures are a wonderful tooth replacement option, but some patients are better suited to other restorative treatments, such as dental implants. Dental implants are prosthetic tooth roots that can replace any number of missing teeth, so they can help individuals who have suffered minor tooth loss as well as those that require full mouth reconstruction. They are extremely sturdy, and they stimulate the jawbone to keep it strong and whole.
We strongly recommend dental implants over traditional dentures for patients who qualify for them. You should have a strong jawbone, good oral health habits, and meet a few other important criteria. We can discuss your candidacy for them when you come to our office for a consultation.
Types of Dentures We Offer
Every denture Dr. Guillory provides is 100% custom-made using multiple scans of a patient’s bite. This guarantees not only a secure fit, but a comfortable one as well. For patients concerned about the cost, there is no need to worry—we have multiple pricing levels suited for all budgets, and whichever one you decide is best for you, you can still look forward to getting a top-quality denture that brings back your bite and confidence for years to come.
Custom Dentures
Our custom dentures are painstakingly designed to fit each patient’s mouth. This not only makes them more comfortable and stable compared to our economy dentures, but they also have a more realistic appearance. You’ll have a chance to try on multiple mock-ups of your denture before we cast the final one so you’ll be blown away by the final result.
Premium Dentures
Our premium dentures are exactly that—flawlessly designed, perfect fitting, and incredibly durable. We even go the extra step of color-matching the teeth so that they seamlessly blend with the rest of a patient’s smile. With this prosthetic, you won’t feel like you’re wearing a denture, but rather that you’ve gotten your teeth back.
Benefits of Dentures
Many patients who have never had dentures are resistant to the idea for one reason or another. This is usually because they believe the prosthetics will make them look or feel “old,” but that couldn’t be further from the truth! Dentures provide many excellent benefits to a wide range of patients at any age.

Psychological Benefits
Losing teeth is more than a physical process, it can also affect your mental health. Many patients have trouble coming to grips with the loss of their smile and begin to sink into feelings of grief, anxiety, and depression. They feel unattractive and sometimes guilty about their tooth loss. Dentures are a way to restore both your smile and your confidence, granting you peace of mind as you focus on more important matters like visiting friends and family.
Clearer Enunciation
Teeth are one of many components that make it possible to speak. They help control airflow and provide touch points for your tongue. Without them, it can be hard to pronounce certain words or syllables, leading to speech impediments. Dentures fill in for missing teeth and after a brief adjustment period, you’ll be able to talk naturally, making conversations with loved ones less of a chore and more of an experience.
Improves Nutrition
Many times, when patients discover they can’t chew their favorite foods anymore, they stop eating them. As tooth loss progresses, the number of fresh, nutritious meals they can enjoy decreases. The foods they can enjoy don’t get processed properly by chewing, leading to nutritional deficits and digestive issues like acid reflux and indigestion. Dentures solve these problems by restoring your ability to chew effectively and get the vitamins and minerals you need in your diet to stay healthy.
Preserves Oral Health
Dentures aren’t just good for your stomach, they’re essential to preserving your mouth, especially if you still have some natural teeth. The prosthetics help maintain the space between your pearly whites, preventing excessive wear and the gradual shift that occurs naturally with tooth loss. Over time, this can help prevent other issues like bite misalignment and excessive plaque buildup due to uneven gaps that can be hard to see and clean.
Expands Opportunity
One of the most important things about your smile is its ability to influence people and make lasting impressions. This can be especially important in a career situation, especially if you work in any kind of front-facing role like sales or customer service. Studies from the Harvard School of Business indicate that people with winning smiles are more likely to be viewed as intelligent, organized, and approachable. If you’re aiming for a better career, dentures can help get you there!
Partial Denture Options
For our patients who still have remaining healthy teeth, we can provide a custom-shaped partial denture that completes their smile like the final piece of a puzzle. Just like with our full dentures, we offer multiple levels of prosthetics so that patients can choose one that fits easily into their budget. No matter which one suits your situation, you can trust that the end result will look natural and allow you to enjoy the benefits of a full set of teeth again.
Metal-Cast Partial Denture
Metal-cast partial dentures consist of prosthetic teeth and gum tissue that are supported by an underlying metal framework. This makes these dentures extremely strong, and they stay in place within the mouth using tiny clasps that go around neighboring teeth. This means when you chew, the pressure is placed on your teeth rather than your gums, which protects the sensitive soft tissues of the mouth.
Acrylic Partial Denture
Acrylic partial dentures are made of high-quality dental plastic. They have a more lifelike appearance compared to metal dentures, and they can be made in the shortest amount of time compared to other prosthetics. They are ideal for patients who may lose additional teeth in the future because they can be easily modified and expanded as needed.
Valplast Flexible Partial Denture
Valplast flexible partial dentures combine the best aspects of metal and acrylic prosthetics. They are extremely strong and have a very natural appearance, plus as the name indicates, they actually flex while you chew, ensuring that they don’t constantly press down on your gums.

Factors That Affect the Cost of Dentures
Since dentures are a one-size-fits-all tooth-replacement solution, our denture dentist in Cleveland will need to first review some important factors. That starts with the condition of your oral health. If tooth decay, gum disease, or another serious oral health concern is present, then the appropriate preliminary treatment will need to be administered first. From there, factors like the severity of your tooth loss and the materials your dentures are made of need to be considered. Of course, our team will review each of these in-depth during your consultation to ensure you can confidently decide which is best for you.
Are Implant Dentures More Expensive?
Since implant dentures require oral surgery, they are typically more expensive. With the higher cost, however, comes some noteworthy benefits. Since they are surgically inserted directly into your jawbone, they provide added stability and prevent unwanted movement. Additionally, they stimulate your jawbone like your natural teeth, preserving your youthful face shape over the years. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, they can last for 30+ years with proper care.
Does Dental Insurance Cover Dentures?
While plans vary, dental insurance providers typically cover a portion of the cost. For example, if you need a preliminary treatment, like gum disease therapy, there is a good chance your available benefits can be used toward that. Ultimately, it depends on the fine print on your dental plan.
Other Options for Making Dentures Affordable
For our team, providing the highest quality of care is the priority, always. Of course, that doesn’t mean that rebuilding your smile will break the bank. In addition to offering periodic specials, our team is happy to work with CareCredit, a third-party financier. As a result, you can break up your payments into monthly, budget-friendly installments. There are even 6, 12, 24, and 60 months with little to no interest!

Which Type of Denture Is Right for Me?

The one that is right for you depends on your budget, the extent of your tooth loss, and your goals for treatment. If you are looking for the sturdiest type of tooth replacement, we may recommend that you opt for implant dentures in Cleveland rather than any of the denture types listed on this page.
What Is the Process Like for Getting Dentures?
The process for getting dentures is a little different for every patient. It may involve some preparatory treatment, such as extractions. It is also important that we take impressions, images, and scans of your mouth that will help us design your new teeth to look, feel, and function as naturally as possible. If you are not getting an immediate denture, you can expect the denture process to last at least a few weeks.
How Can I Adjust to My New Dentures?
When you first receive it, we may give you personalized tips to help you through the adjustment period. Many patients find that temporarily eating soft foods, reading out loud to practice speaking, and wearing their denture as much as possible helps them get used to their new teeth relatively quickly.
