Complete Dentures
Unfortunately many people have had their teeth extracted due to consequences of life experiences. In other cases, the dentition is broken down beyond repair. Dentures are a reasonable replacement for the above situations. Properly fabricated dentures can provide patients with functional and esthetic replacement of their teeth.
The American Dental Association
places the life of a complete denture at 5 years. The value of a properly fitted and fabricated prosthesis not only lies in the longevity of the prosthesis itself but also in the functional and esthetic value of the prosthesis.
Economy dentures almost certainly fall short in function and esthetics. Due to poor material selection, they will always fall short in durable longevity. When you compare the percentage cost of high quality prosthesis versus an economy replacement, the additional cost to have improved quality and materials is minimal.
With high-grade resin base materials, as well as improved hardness, denture teeth will most certainly provide years of service from the prosthesis. Balancing of esthetic and neuromuscular demands will provide comfort for chewing and provide optimum appearance for the patient's most important benefit: Restoration of the smile and esthetics.
