If you were fortunate enough to grow up spending weekends with your grandparents, you might have memories of them removing their false teeth at night to put them into a glass of cleaning solution next to their bed. If anything is certain, dentures of the past definitely had a lot of room for improvement. Thanks to the advancements in modern dentistry, dentures have continued to progress along with restorative and preventive dentistry. Because dentistry continues to change and evolve, today’s dentures are better than ever. Dr. Hema Nair and the team at Star Care Dental in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, are providing patients with perfect smiles thanks to modern dentures. Here are some of the changes you will notice with modern dentures.
If you saw your grandparents walking around without their dentures regularly, this is probably because they were uncomfortable. The dentures of yesterday were simply not all that comfortable, and an ill-fitting denture can lead to sores or hot spots due to the denture rubbing against the gum tissue. The only way to prevent this discomfort would be to take out the dentures. Thankfully, if you are considering dentures, you do not need to worry about this. Today’s dentures are better fitting and more comfortable than ever before. A better understanding of the structure of the jaw and advancements in denture technology results in dentures that fit better and are much less likely to cause discomfort.
Most modern dentures are crafted from durable acrylic, providing a surprisingly strong light fit. In the past, dentures could be weighty and even fall out of the mouth at times. Today’s dentures are a lighter weight yet are still durable. While they can still break, they are stronger and more stain-resistant.
These are just a few ways modern dentures are better than what you may remember from the past. Dentures have always been a popular tooth replacement option; thanks to their evolution, they continue to be as popular as ever. Dr. Hema Nair is here to help you choose the tooth replacement option which is right for you. To schedule an appointment at Star Care Dental, please call (610) 569-0509.
