Dentures Don’t Have to Look Like Traditional “False Teeth”!

Patients can now look forward to getting natural-looking dentures that don’t look like traditional false teeth! Gone are the days when dentures look like fake teeth.

Experienced dentists can now create beautiful, healthy-looking dentures that enhance your facial appearance. Actually, there are a few types of dentures offered, and they all have attractive aesthetic qualities.

Complete Dentures (Conventional or Immediate)

• Conventional dentures can be placed within 8-12 weeks after teeth have been extracted, whereas immediate dentures are fabricated beforehand so they can be placed in position shortly after the teeth are removed.
• Each type of denture has pros and cons, though.
• There are times when the results can look fake, and patients may be left with the “sunken-in” appearance (when the lower part of the face looks collapsed) that is characteristic of some denture-wearers.

Removable Partial Dentures

• This type of denture can be removed when needed.
• A partial fills in the gaps where missing teeth were located, and it also prevents other teeth from moving. The pink-colored base is attached to a metal base that holds the denture into place in your mouth.
• Partials are sometimes chosen when one or more teeth remain in the lower and upper jaw.

Economy Dentures

• Economy dentures tend to be the most cost-effective type of denture. They are the most generic form of denture, which means that they do not sit comfortably or securely in your mouth.
• Patients who choose economy dentures typically wear denture adhesive to secure the fit as much as possible.
• Economy dentures tend to look fake when the patient wears them, too.
