What does a permanent denture look like?

Permanent dentures look and feel exactly like your natural teeth. They do not fall out or get misplaced. They're made of dental materials like acrylic, nylon, porcelain, resin, or metal.

What Are The Pros:

Permanent dentures replace all of a person’s missing teeth and are screwed with dental implants into the patient’s jawbone. They function just like natural teeth, so patients can eat, drink, and talk without worrying about them slipping out of place. There are a number of benefits to getting permanent dentures. As long as patients have the jawbone density for permanent dentures, anyone can be a candidate for them. They are truly life transforming.

What Are The Cons:

By far the biggest challenge is the implant surgery, while it is very safe considering new technologies, but it is still a surgery and takes time to heal

Why Should I Avoid Getting Traditional Dentures?

Traditional dentures have been used to restore missing teeth or failing teeth. However, traditional dentures only sit on the top of patient’s gums, causing jawbone tissue resorption and jawbone tissue loss over time. This results in ill-fitting or loose traditional dentures that can slip out of place, causing the patient significant inconvenience. A traditional denture can also limit the patient’s ability to eat certain foods and speak confidently.
