As dentures are dental appliance that are produced in a lab they can be made to look like anything the patient wants; however, to look natural, dentures in Binghamton NY should be made so that they come as close as possible to duplicating the patients natural teeth. From the patient’s point of view it is more than just the appearance, a good secure fit in the arch of the mouth is equally as important. Of course the patient expects that the dentures will be made correctly but it is the patient’s responsibility to ensure that they are maintained, the denture must be brushed clean at least one a day and rinsed off after every meal.
When dentures are made they are purposefully made with minor little imperfections, perhaps they are just slightly crooked or have a slight stain. Of course, because the denture is artificial it can be made perfect, but ask yourself how many people actually have perfect teeth, the answer is “very few.” Dentures that are made perfect will look artificial and out of place. When you have your dentures made by the dentist that you have been going to for years he or she will know exactly what your natural teeth looked like at one time; if you are using a new dentist, perhaps you have moved to a new city, a dentist can make a perfectly natural looking denture just by seeing a few photos of you displaying a full smile.
Dentures in Binghamton NY must fit right to look right. If the denture is a bit too large or a bit to small it will look out of place. Even the best made dentures will need periodic adjustment, not necessarily because there is any fault with the denture but the patients oral cavity will change shape over time and the denture will need relining for comfort.
Not only is the fit of the denture important for appearance, it is extremely important for the comfort of the wearer. Partial dentures are usually attached to certain remaining natural teeth with clips while full dentures fit snuggly to the dental arch and are held in place through suction or in some cases are fitted to dental implants used precisely for this purpose.
The best dentures will periodically slip; this is not a major issue as there are dental adhesives available to ensure a tight fit. Dental adhesives are tasteless and are available as a powder or paste, rather of which are used sparingly on the back of the denture to create a good bond between the denture and the roof of the mouth.
