The Beauty Of Mordern Dentures

The very word can strike fear into the hearts of many. But are dentures really that bad considering the alternative? The answer is obviously no. Although of course it would be preferable to have your natural teeth, for many reasons, including decay, health problems and accidents, people are left without their teeth which is neither very healthy nor aesthetically pleasing.

Dentures represent the genuine alternative to having a mouth without teeth and they really have come a long way in the last twenty years. Most of us have probably had relatives who have had false teeth and know what the old dentures were like: unrealistic, bulky and uncomfortable. And then there was the embarrassing moment when they came out at exactly the wrong time. Well modern dentures are completely different.

Made from new types of plastic, modern dentures are light weight, well fitting and more realistic than ever. A good set of modern dentures will fit over the gums without the need for denture adhesive, which can be messy and prevent the eating of certain foods. For patients who are still concerned about loose dentures there is the option of having mini-implants fitted to act as a secure base for the dentures. This involves placing a series of small screws into the jaw, which when set are able to keep the dentures in place by attaching to small clips.

These mini-implants represent just one of the innovative ways denture technology has improved over the past few years, addressing the issues that many denture wearers have expressed concern about over the years. Find out more from your Shimla dentist.

More Comfortable & Realistic Dentures

Losing your teeth at any age in life can be very unpleasant and can cause a great deal of anxiety and pain. However, there are many options still available and thanks to modern technology and improved dentistry, the option of wearing dentures no longer carries the stigma it once did.

Modern dentures are more comfortable, more realistic and stronger than the dentures of the past and are designed to fit the mouth better to prevent the anxiety caused by loose dentures. In the past, many denture wearers had to resort to using sticky and messy dental adhesive gels or strips. These prevented many people form eating and drinking what they wanted. A good pair of dentures should stay firmly in place by suction alone, allowing the wearer to live a normal life.

For those patients who still require the extra security there is now the possibility of mini-implants to act as a secure base for the dentures. A series of small titanium screws are anchored directly into the jawbone to act as a solid base for a set of dentures, which can be fitted with snap on/snap off clips so that your dentures will never come out unless you want them to.

Patients with several missing teeth can also benefit form a partial denture, which can be worn to restore the cosmetic appearance of the teeth and regain some of their functionality. Partial dentures and full dentures also act as support for facial muscles, preventing sagging of the facial tissue common in patients with few or no teeth. Shimla dentists are able to offer advice and treatment to patients considering dentures or partial dentures to help them regain their confidence and the full use of their teeth.
