What are dentures?

Whilst dental implants are fast becoming the ideal replacement for missing teeth, dentures still have many benefits and are a very useful alternative especially in cases where implants and bridges may not be possible.

Function Dentures are designed so that they replicate the function of normal teeth. This will enable the improved ability to chew, speak, and function. Without teeth, it can be somewhat difficult to eat certain foods. A good set of well-fitting dentures will enable you to eat most of your favorite foods once more.

Aesthetics By having teeth to replace missing ones, it can avoid the embarrassment of not having teeth and not smiling. This can also result in improved confidence and self-esteem which in turn can have a positive impact on your professional and personal life. Dentures can also be shaped to improve the soft tissue profile of the face which provides a fuller more youthful appearance

What material is best

Whether you are missing one, many or all of your teeth, dentures are a practical and aesthetic method of tooth replacement. They fit into your mouth through adaptation to your soft tissues or remaining teeth and restore functions such as eating, speaking and smiling in an aesthetic and comfortable way.

A removable denture replaces missing teeth. Partial dentures replace a few missing teeth and “full” or “complete” dentures are needed if all the natural teeth are missing.

  • Cobalt-Chromium A very strong substance that makes a popular choice for denture frameworks.
  • Acrylic resin This material is not as strong nor does it fit as accurately as metal frame dentures, however, is a popular choice with patients.
  • Flexible polymer This is a type of nylon that’s found in Valplast dentures, which has a flexible base that can blend in seamlessly with your gums, making it a good denture material

Your Dentist at The Woodlands Dental Practice can discuss the best options for denture materials most suited to your mouth.
