Dentures have been used to replace missing teeth for decades, but if you thought dentures were still bulky, fake-looking and uncomfortable, you may be surprised to learn about the modern dentures we have on offer at Dublin18 Dental Care. Gone are the days of painful false teeth; modern dentures are light, comfortable, functional and they look exactly like natural teeth to give you a great looking, healthy smile.
What are dentures?
Dentures are sets of false teeth; they are designed to replace missing teeth and can be used to replace a small number of teeth or an entire arch and we offer partial and complete dentures. Dentures help to restore function to the mouth and create an attractive smile. They also provide support for your cheeks to prevent them from looking sunken, and they enable you to eat and chew properly.
Types of denture
At Dublin18 Dental Care near Grand Canal Dock, we have many different types of denture on offer, including partial and full acrylic dentures, implant-retained dentures and chrome cobalt dentures. Acrylic dentures are bespoke and they create very natural aesthetics; there is very little chance of them coming loose and they are very comfortable.
Chrome cobalt dentures are made out of metal; they are usually attached to the roof of the mouth and they are recommended for durability and wear. Chrome cobalt dentures are more robust than acrylic dentures and they are considered more comfortable for the tongue.
Implant-retained dentures have become very popular in recent years. These dentures are held in place by dental implants. Dental implants provide maximum support and anchorage for the dentures, giving patients peace of mind that their denture will never come loose and the ability to eat whatever they want.
