The Benefits of New and Customized Dentures

Replacing Old Dentures with Custom Dentures

Traditional dentures are often worn to replace teeth that have been missing or damaged.

Many older individuals have or need dentures at some point in their lifetime. One of the main problems with traditional dentures is that people say these teeth do not always look as real as they could or should look. If you have traditional dentures and the teeth are noticeably unrealistic looking, you may feel self-conscious about your smile and your appearance. It is at this point that custom dentures would come in handy.

Custom dentures are designed to look as natural as possible.

Custom dentures are designed to look as natural as possible. The purpose of these dentures is to match well with the specific patient, as patient look and needs will vary. The teeth are customized personally for each individual to match the shape of their face and their age. Dr. VanderMolen goes above and beyond to ensure these custom dentures fit perfectly in the mouth and look completely realistic so that you can become confident in your smile once again.

One of the main problems with the traditional dentures is that they are made to look a little too perfect to the point that they often give off a fake appearance. Most traditional dentures display teeth completely aligned with one another, but real teeth do not align exactly like one another, so it is actually best for Dr. VanderMolen to precisely place the teeth of the dentures next to one another in such a manner that they look natural and beautiful without looking unrealistic. Dr. VanderMolen uses acrylic teeth, the most natural choice, for the creation of the custom dentures.
