In the days of our grandparents, it was usually easy to know if someone was wearing dentures because they often looked bulky and artificial. However, advances in dental restoration have changed the way dentures are designed. Today’s dentures are natural-looking. Good-quality dentures closely mimic natural teeth’ shape, size, and color. Having a restored smile can give you renewed confidence and functionality. 

Advanced Teeth Restoration Mimics the Details of Natural Teeth

Today’s dentures are made with custom-shaded material to seamlessly blend with the natural tones of your gums and any existing teeth. Your dentist uses detailed color-matching guides that ensure your dentures look nearly identical to natural teeth. Slight variations in color across various areas of the gums and teeth help the final product closely resemble a real smile. 

Achieving a Perfect Fit with Digital Scanning

With digital scanning, there is no need for messy putty molds. This technology uses advanced imaging to create precise 3D models of patients’ mouths. Because the 3D model is so precise, dentures fit more comfortably and snugly, which minimizes the common risk of slipping or sores. 

CAD/CAM Technology for Denture Precision

Computer-aided design and manufacturing technology has completely revolutionized how dentures are made. With this innovative technology, trained technicians can use extreme precision to design dentures. CAD and CAM software create a 3D model of your mouth to design dentures that perfectly fit, even down to the millimeter. After the design is ready, an automated manufacturing process ensures accuracy and consistency in your final dentures. This technology eliminates any chance of human error. 

Lifelong Durability with High-Quality Materials

Modern dentures are made of composite resins and high-grade acrylics. These materials offer both strength and aesthetics. Equally important, they resist wear and tear more effectively than older alternatives, keeping their form and color better over time. Best of all, acrylic and resin can be polished to have the same luster as your natural teeth while also being strong enough to endure chewing and biting. This reduces the need for frequent repairs or replacements. 

Implant-Supported Dentures: Realism with Increased Stability

For implant-supported dentures, this process occurs:

• A titanium post is placed directly into the jawbone and allowed to heal and fuse with the bone.
• Porcelain crowns are placed on top of the post to give you the look of an entirely new tooth.
• Dental implants can be used as anchors for dentures or dental bridges if you’re missing most or all of your teeth. 

Best of all, a dental implant functions exactly like your natural tooth, so it’s much more stable and functional than dentures alone.
