How Dentures Work
Upper dentures usually stay in place by suction, but the lower denture is designed to fit the gums and muscles, making it less secure and harder to wear. The lower half of the face may have a very flat area where the denture sits, due to excessive shrinkage of the jawbone, which will get worse as you get older.
Injection moulded denture bases should help lower dentures to fit the wearer better. The Smile Centre UK uses Ivoclar Vivadent's SR Orthoplane DCL ® teeth which are specially designed to combat the problem.
Natural Looking False Teeth
If you want your false teeth to provide the most dramatic results and maintain long-term durability you need to invest in quality materials. These must be combined with the work of a highly skilled and experienced Clinical Dental Technician (denturist).
Only those Clinical Dental Technicians (denturists) who have added to their skills and knowledge over time will use the latest developments in denture technology to maximise the cosmetic enhancements they can bring to the wearer.
There are two types of dentures used to replace missing teeth, complete dentures and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used to replace all the teeth and partial dentures (bridges) are used when you still have some of your natural teeth and only need to replace a few missing teeth.
Complete dentures will usually contain 12 front teeth positioned for correct speech, a natural smile and support for your lips when chewing. At The Smile Centre UK up to 16 back teeth will also be positioned to maintain your lower face height and help you to chew food.
