Why Do I Need Dentures?
If you're missing teeth because of issues like decay, gum disease, an accident, or simply getting older, you might need cosmetic dentures. Missing teeth can make it hard to chew, talk, and even affect how your face looks. Cosmetic dentures fix oral problems by letting you chew and speak better. They also keep your face muscles in place so your face doesn't sag and looks better. Cosmetic dentures help keep your mouth healthy by stopping neighbouring teeth from moving out of place.
Partial or full dentures are useful in bringing back your smile, improving your life, and keeping your mouth healthy overall.
TYPES OF DENTURES
Flexible Dentures
These dentures are made from a flexible material, typically a type of nylon, offering a lightweight and comfortable alternative to traditional acrylic dentures. They provide a snug fit and are less likely to cause irritation or discomfort. Flexible dentures are ideal for patients who suffer from allergies or sensitive gums.
Full Dentures
Also referred to as complete dentures, they replace all the teeth on one or both sides of the mouth. They are made to fit perfectly in the patient's mouth, restoring both functionality and a natural look. These dentures stay in place with suction or adhesive and can be taken out for cleaning.
Partial Dentures
These dentures are used to replace one or more missing teeth while preserving any remaining natural teeth. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-coloured acrylic base, often supported by metal clasps that grip onto adjacent teeth for stability. Partial dentures restore oral function and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting.
Implant-Supported Dentures
These dentures are anchored in place by dental implants surgically placed in the jawbone. Implant-supported dentures offer superior stability and functionality compared to traditional dentures, as they are securely fixed in the mouth and do not rely on adhesives or clasps. They provide a more natural feel and allow for better chewing efficiency.
DENTURES MATERIAL
Cosmetic Denture Materials
Porcelain
Porcelain is a ceramic material usually associated with china. However, the porcelain in dentures is medically approved and is not the same as porcelain in household items. Porcelain is favored among patients because this glass-like material can imitate real teeth quite well. Like real teeth, the porcelain is translucent and reflects light. Porcelain can be color-matched, so that your remaining teeth don’t stand out when you wear dentures.
Acrylic Resin
Acrylic isn’t good as porcelain when it comes to imitating natural teeth. However, this material is sturdy. Acrylic binds well to the dental base, so the teeth are less fragile compared to porcelain dentures. Acrylic dentures are also less expensive than porcelain. Acrylic dentures are typically replaced every five to eight years. That is the material for the teeth in cosmetic dentures. The dentures also come with an artificial plate or a framework. The framework on cosmetic dentures is not made from plastic.
