If you think dentures are bulky, painful, or hard to manage, think again. Modern advancements in dental care have made today’s false teeth more comfortable and natural-looking than ever before. Whether you need a full denture or a partial, there are now more comfortable and convenient ways to restore your smile. From better-fitting designs to lifelike materials, dentures today are made with your comfort, function, and confidence in mind.
The Evolution of False Teeth
In the past, false teeth were known for being stiff, irritating, and difficult to wear. But thanks to better materials, improved fitting techniques, and more personalized care, wearers today enjoy a much better experience. From soft linings that reduce irritation or soreness to options like implant-supported dentures that stay firmly in place, comfort is now built into every step.
Types of Dentures Available
At Smith Dentalworks, we provide a variety of custom tooth replacement solutions designed to suit your unique smile.
This includes:
- Complete Dentures: If you’ve lost all your teeth in the upper, lower, or both arches, a complete set of false teeth offers full restoration. These are carefully crafted to match the contours of your mouth and support your facial structure, helping you maintain a natural, youthful appearance.
- Partial Dentures: If you still have several healthy natural teeth, a partial set may be the best choice. This option fills in the spaces left by missing teeth while maintaining your natural bite alignment and preventing neighboring teeth from shifting.
- Implant-Retained Dentures (All-on-Four): For those looking for extra security and a more natural feel, this type of denture is anchored to dental implants. Implant-retained dentures stay firmly in place, offering better function and helping to prevent jawbone shrinkage over time.
Getting the Perfect Fit
Achieving a secure, comfortable fit is essential for any denture. Dr. Smith uses cutting-edge digital technology to capture accurate impressions of your mouth, allowing us to craft dentures that sit properly without slipping or causing discomfort.
We also offer immediate dentures to wear right after extractions and traditional dentures once healing is complete. No matter where you are in the process, our team ensures a seamless, supportive experience from start to finish.
If you’re worried about how dentures will feel while eating or speaking, implant-supported options provide added peace of mind. They’re designed to stay in place, giving you greater confidence during everyday activities.
Keeping Your Set of Teeth Clean and Comfortable
Proper care is essential for both comfort and hygiene.
Here are a few tips:
- Remove artificial teeth before bed to give your gums a break.
- Use soft bristles to brush the surface of your teeth each day gently.
- Soak them overnight in a cleaning solution to kill bacteria and maintain shape.
- Avoid hot water, which can warp the material.
- Keep your mouth clean, too—oral hygiene helps prevent tooth decay, gum irritation, and bad breath.
- Use adhesive only as needed and follow instructions carefully.
Even the most well-made false teeth need maintenance. Regular checkups at Smith Dentalworks ensure they stay in great condition and fit properly as your mouth changes.
