Dentures Are a Good Solution to a Tough Problem
No restoration is as good as your natural teeth. When you’ve lost all your teeth, we have the difficult challenge of trying to replicate them, including their function, comfort, and appearance. In the past, false teeth simply weren’t up to the challenge. They were visibly fake, and if their appearance didn’t give them away, their poor function did.
These days, dental prosthetics can replace your teeth to a greater or lesser degree, depending on their style and design. We have the ability to make better ones, but it requires quality materials, advanced processes, and talented application, all of which contribute to their cost.
In the past, false teeth often looked artificial and performed poorly. Nowadays, advancements in materials and techniques have led to better tooth replacements. While cheap false teeth may seem tempting, they often lack the quality and functionality of premium options like FOY® Dentures and All-on-4®.
Common Denture Complaints
Although traditional tooth replacement options have their place, many people aren’t happy with them. With a traditional removable dental appliances, people often complain that:
- Feel loose or fall out
- Are uncomfortable or even painful
- Don’t allow them to eat many foods
- Interfere with speech
- Make them look old
These prosthetic devices rely on suction against your gums for retention, often resulting in discomfort and instability. Activities like talking and laughing can dislodge them easily.
The pressure exerted by dentures on delicate gum tissues can lead to pain and irritation, aggravated by trapped food particles, potentially causing infections. Moreover, their tendency to shift can result in painful rubbing against the mouth.
Limited stability and discomfort affect your ability to enjoy a varied diet, impacting both quality of life and overall health. Additionally, speech may be hindered due to denture movement and air passage beneath them, leading to articulation difficulties.
Many individuals find that removable dental appliances contribute to an older appearance, exacerbated by ill-fitting dentures causing facial changes. Furthermore, dentures accelerate jawbone resorption, further contributing to facial aging.
Better Options Exist
Don’t despair. As mentioned, modern technology gives us better options for replacing teeth than traditional dentures. If you don’t want to settle for traditional dentures and their potential problems, consider the following:
- FOY ® Dentures
- Implant Dentures
These alternatives give you different options for replacing natural teeth with more functional and attractive restorations.
What Are FOY® Dentures?
FOY® Dentures represent a modernized alternative to conventional complete dental prosthetics. Crafted with cutting-edge principles from cosmetic and neuromuscular dentistry, they offer superior aesthetics, comfort, and functionality.
These advanced prosthetics feature ceramic teeth akin to those used in select porcelain veneers, seamlessly integrated into a high-density acrylic base, ensuring a lifelike appearance.
Employing an intricate fitting method, the FOY® Dentures ensure a snug, secure fit, enhancing facial contours for a more youthful look. Their precise fit facilitates improved biting, chewing, and speech capabilities.
What Are Implant Dentures?
Implant-supported prosthetics utilize dental implants to secure restorations, offering enhanced stability. They vary in design and attachment method, tailored to individual health needs and preferences.
These prosthetics may be removable or affixed to implants via screws. While some rely on implants solely for retention, others are fully supported by implants, augmenting bite strength.
Our practice specializes in the All-on-X implant denture technique, replacing an entire dental arch with a complete prosthetic anchored on two or more implants. The number of implants required depends on your desired level of support and function.
