Patients missing only a few teeth may be best served with partial dentures. Patients will many missing teeth may benefit from full dentures.Today, dental implants are a preferred option for restoring lost teeth. However, some patients prefer dentures because they are less expensive than dental implants or because of other health issues that may restrict some patients from dental surgery. Medical conditions that might prevent a patient from qualifying for dental implants could include diabetes, certain types of cancer, or bad blood circulation.
