Cosmetic dentures look more like real teeth, by their very nature. They're called cosmetic because they're intended to improve your smile and look beautiful! Cosmetic dentures also tend to feel much more natural than other denture options.
Your dentures (also known as false teeth) should look natural and there is no reason why they can't. There are different types of dentures and if you want them to look as natural as possible, factors you should consider include the size, shape and shade.
Plastic teeth will always have that artificial appearance and even some of the ceramic teeth can often have a very flat appearance. Dentures created by Eldridge Dental and Glidewell labs have a textured surface which helps them become the most natural looking dentures in all light conditions.
The first and foremost factor that makes a denture natural is its positioning. If the dentures are placed too far out, too far, or too short or too long, they won't seem as natural as you would like them to be. Another common element that can make your dentures look natural is the phenomenon of the 'Cheshire cat smile.
Modern fixed, implant-retained dentures
This type of modern denture is created to live in your mouth forever — you won't take them out at night for cleaning. With this option, four or more dental implants are placed in your jawbone, forming a secure, long-lasting bond.
The size, shape and shade of Cosmetic Life-Like Dentures are customizable. You can choose from various aesthetic styles, such as "athletic," "aggressive" or "soft." We will show you these styles when you visit us for a consultation.
Porcelain Dentures
Porcelain is harder than acrylic. This makes dentures more durable. Also, porcelain dentures provide excellent aesthetics since the replacement teeth look a lot more like natural teeth. This material is better for bearing the daily wearing of teeth while we talk, chew or bite.
Thanks to modern dentistry, upper dentures are now made without the palate, also known as palateless dentures or horseshoe dentures. This type of denture is made for patients who do not have all their upper teeth. Palateless dentures can be used with overdentures, removable restoration, and dental implants.
Dentures can have a huge impact on your appearance. Poorly fitted dentures or cheap dentures can dramatically change your appearance for the worse, but properly designed dentures, like FOY Dentures®, can do just the opposite: giving you the best smile of your life, especially when they're supported by dental implants.
Dentures will dramatically change your appearance. Missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures will provide you with a lopsided and sunken appearance. But properly fitting dentures designed at the correct height, your face offers your face proportion.
New denture wearers will begin to feel more 'normal' after about 30 days. During this time, you can expect to have some soreness and discomfort as your mouth heals and you become accustomed to having a foreign object in your mouth.
Acrylic dentures are designed to mimic natural smiles: our modern acrylic dentures are specially designed to create natural looking, beautiful smiles. They consist of pink-coloured material that blends seamlessly with your gums and natural looking prosthetic teeth.
Today's Dentures Are Sturdier
Denture teeth, while breakable, are more durable and stain-resistant than those in the past. Partial dentures come in acrylic and metal options for durability.
No, they don't have to be. With today's state-of-the-art technology, dentists are able to make dentures look so natural-looking, no one will be able to tell they aren't your natural teeth. When properly designed and fixed, dentures will provide you with a very natural appearance.
Permanent dentures are thinner than temporary ones as your dentist makes an impression that matches your teeth' shape and pattern. Therefore, the permanent partial dentures that will be made are similar to your teeth and fit better than temporary dentures.
Normally, upper dentures cover the top of the mouth so thoroughly that a person's ability to taste and experience their food is diminished, not to mention hamper proper function.
Dentures for Chewing
Generally, to properly chew, it is recommended to have at least 20 teeth that have occlusion with one another. This includes at least 4 pairs of molars that can help you chew on difficult food items, and the rest are anterior teeth to help you grip and tear on food.
The complete denture with a thin base (1.25 mm) and silicone investment showed the worst results, whereas intermediate thickness (2.50 mm) was demonstrated to be ideal for the denture base.
Compared with a lower denture, an upper denture is more comfortable, functions better, and doesn't move as much.
Flexible dentures have a soft, clear base that allows your own gums to show through. They're made with a high-tech thermoplastic material and there are no attachments or clips needed to hold them in place, resulting in a denture that's more comfortable and flexible.
Complete dentures are more prevalent in those above the age of 45. They're often used for those who have lost many teeth and suffer from periodontl disease. However, keep in mind that dentures can be a solution for anyone. In some cases, dentists may recommend them for people in their 30s or even 20s.
The three most common shades that are used are what I call natural (A2), natural white (A1), or Hollywood white (B1) and the two uncommon ones are what I call natural dark (A3) and sparkling white (010).
Dentures Are Making Your Face Look Weird
This often causes wearers to feel like their smile is different and their resting face isn't normal. This is a common problem with new dentures but also disappears after a couple of days or once your body gets accustomed.
