The diversity of denture solutions from which to choose

Think of any situation where a denture is required and rest assured, there will be a denture solution to suit you. There is a vast selection of removeable dentures from which to choose. Removable dentures comprise the majority of those worn today due largely to affordable cost, convenience, lack of surgical intervention and less waiting time to be made and fitted. Alternatively, dental implants offer overdentures which snap on to surgically implanted posts into the patient’s jaw.

What kinds of dentures are there?

Italian archaeologists claimed to have found evidence of the world’s oldest teeth. Fortunately, we have progressed since those early versions made of old human and animal teeth. In recent times dental technology is advancing at an exponential rate. This is evident in the array of denture solutions available. And if you’ve had your dentures for a while, it’s likely there are better ones on offer today. So, when patients ask, ‘what are dentures made out of today?’ oral health providers can point them toward a wide selection of materials and configurations from which to choose.

What are dentures made out of?

Dentures are made from a variety of materials which include gum coloured bases made from acrylic, flexible polyamide microcrystalline, chrome-cobalt and also a hybrid which combines two types of material. With the addition of natural-looking substitute teeth, dentures are so convincing in their aesthetic replication of human teeth, it’s almost impossible to pick a well-made denture from a set of natural teeth. In fact, very often dentures look better than the teeth they replace.

That’s not to say they look artificially perfect. Thankfully, those days are gone too. Now, new technology offers natural looking gum colours and authentically shaped and textured teeth with a graded translucency to rival natural teeth.

Why would I need dentures?

Dentures replace natural teeth which have been lost due to accident, ill health, decay, ageing or a desire for a better appearance than offered by the natural teeth you already have. But not all dentures are equal.

I’m sure people don’t go through the process of getting dentures just to leave them in a drawer. It’s crucial to research your health providers as carefully as you would if you were buying a car. A good well-fitting denture will enhance your life not only by making you look your best, but also by providing health, psychological and social benefits. If your existing denture doesn’t fit correctly or is uncomfortable to wear, it may be time to have your prosthetist check it for you.

The health benefits of having dentures

Nutrition and the pleasure of eating

Imagine how you would feel watching your friends tuck into a steak dinner or an apple when you couldn’t because you had no capacity to chew or because eating was painful. Imagine being restricted to eating soft foods because you have no dentures with which to eat anything else. People without teeth, or with old and poorly fitting dentures, tend toward lower dietary quality and avoidance of some foods thus compromising good nutritional health.

Facial structural support

Teeth provide structural support for facial muscles. Without them, skin and flesh sag and hollow, making you look older than your years. Properly fitting dentures, custom-made for you, help to fill out the hollows and support the facial muscles. In some cases, dentures can fill out the wrinkles that have formed around your mouth as a result of shrinkage.
