When our patients visit The Denture Practice in Wolverhampton, a common concern is how they can restore their natural smile and self-confidence. You may be dissatisfied with your existing dentures, or are needing to replace natural teeth after an extraction. Following an initial consultation, our friendly and experienced team of clinical dental technicians will spend time with you in our relaxed and stress-free environment, to explain all your options ensuring you make the right decision to suit your personal requirements, available budget and life-style. We take pride in providing a caring and professional service and consider our patients to be unique individuals. In this article, we explore the similarities and difference between cosmetic dentures and traditional dentures relating to your natural teeth, enabling you to make an informed choice.
Cosmetic dentures and traditional dentures both serve the primary function of replacing missing teeth, but they differ significantly in terms of aesthetics, comfort, and material quality. At The Denture Practice, in order to maintain our high standard of excellence, we make cosmetic dentures only, which gives you everything a functional denture does but in addition looks and feels more natural.
Aesthetic Appeal:
Cosmetic dentures are designed with a high emphasis on appearance. They are expertly crafted to your specific oral contours in our own in-house denture laboratory using an innovative, hi-tech process. The prosthetic teeth in these dentures have an exceptionally natural colour, translucency, and texture, and your partial or full dentures will closely resemble natural teeth, ensuring a more attractive and realistic appearance. This attention to detail boosts confidence, allowing you to smile, speak, and eat without feeling self-conscious.
Comfort and Fit:
One of the primary advantages of aesthetic dentures is their superior comfort and fit. Our custom-made dentures are created with the highest quality materials, ensuring they will fit snugly and comfortably in your mouth. Traditional dentures, while functional, may not always offer the same level of precision in fit, leading to discomfort or the need for frequent adjustments. The secure fit of cosmetic dentures minimises gum irritation and enhances overall oral comfort.
Durability and Material Quality:
Cosmetic dentures use more advanced materials that are durable and remarkably natural in appearance. This durability withstands the wear and tear of daily use, leading to a longer lifespan compared to traditional dentures, which may be manufactured using less expensive materials and can be more prone to staining, chipping, or wear over time.
Functionality:
While both types of dentures restore the ability to chew and speak properly, cosmetic prosthetics are designed to optimise functionality without compromising your natural smile. Their precise fit and high-quality materials can improve your bite and reduce the likelihood of slippage during eating or talking.
Psychological Impact:
The improved appearance and comfort of well-fitting, natural looking dentures can have a significant positive impact on your emotional well-being. Enhanced self-esteem and reduced anxiety about your appearance can lead to better social interactions and overall quality of life. Never underestimate the power of a smile; it’s a universal language.
