At Orlando Family & Cosmetic Dentistry, we understand the importance of selecting esthetic dentures that not only restore function but also mimic the appearance of real teeth. So, what types of dentures provide the most natural look?
Custom Dentures: Custom dentures are designed to fit your mouth perfectly and match your natural teeth in terms of shape, size, and color. These dentures are carefully crafted with the patient’s unique smile in mind, making them the top choice for those seeking a realistic appearance. Customization can also extend to the gum color, ensuring that the entire set of dentures looks as close to your natural teeth as possible.
Implant-Supported Dentures: Implant-supported dentures are another option that provides a more natural appearance and add to a more stable denture. These dentures are anchored to dental implants, which mimic the roots of natural teeth. Because of this secure foundation, implant-supported dentures have a more stable fit and look just like your natural teeth. This option also prevents bone loss, which can alter the appearance of your face over time.
Porcelain Dentures: Porcelain dentures are known for their aesthetic appeal. Porcelain can closely mimic the translucency and sheen of natural tooth enamel, giving you a beautiful and realistic smile. They are often the preferred choice for patients seeking the most natural look.
What is the Most Comfortable Denture to Wear?
Finding a comfortable fit is just as important as achieving a natural look. Dentures that feel comfortable will make daily activities like eating and speaking much easier. The most comfortable options include:
- Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures top the list again because they are securely anchored into the jawbone, making them much more stable than traditional dentures. There’s no need for adhesive, and the added support makes implant-supported dentures more comfortable to wear for extended periods, not to mention they will also contribute to longevity in preserving your jawline and foundation.
- Flexible Dentures: Unlike traditional dentures made from rigid acrylic, flexible dentures are crafted from softer materials like nylon. These dentures mold to the shape of your mouth, reducing the likelihood of discomfort caused by rubbing or sore spots. Flexible dentures are also lightweight, offering an added layer of comfort.
- Snap-In Dentures: Snap-in dentures provide the best of both worlds by offering security and comfort. These dentures snap onto implants or attachments in the mouth, allowing for a more secure fit than traditional dentures without the need for adhesives. Their snug fit reduces movement, which helps prevent discomfort.
