Are multiple teeth replacements better than dentures?
Multiple tooth replacement implants are synthetic substitutes for natural teeth that are life changing for thousands of people who have had to suffer problems associated with missing teeth or full or partial dentures that do not fit well. For years, people have put up with the inconvenience of using dentures to provide them with some sort of normalcy when it comes to simply eating and smiling. These days, regular dentures are almost becoming a thing of the past for those who want fixed replacement t
eeth in the form of dental implants. However, for those that dentures offers the best solution, Custom Dentures offer a much more comfortable and aesthetic solution.
The advantages of dental implants
Dental implants that are fixed in the place of lost teeth serve:
- To restore the look, feel, and functioning of natural teeth
- To make you look better
- To make you feel better
- To increase your ability to chew, enjoy, and finally digest your food.
Your speech and ability to chew can be made difficult when several, or all your teeth, are absent. Replacing multiple teeth using a series of dental implants, attached by a bridge, offers a far more permanent alternative than the use of removable dentures.
The new bridge can take all the normal pressure that strong natural teeth do naturally. This will allow you to have along term solution that lets you eat what you wish.
Benefits of multiple teeth replacement versus removable dentures
- It preserves the jawbone and general facial appearance.
- Only normal cleaning and flossing need to be used.
- Replacement will last decades if looked after with care.
- It is a stable, secure solution that gives you a normal look and function.

Custom Dentures Springfield IL – What are the benefits?
May 15, 2012
Custom dentures are prosthetic teeth that are custom made according to comfortably and flawlessly fit inside a patient’s mouth, while having a realistic appearance. Custom dentures do not only serve a cosmetic purpose but are also functional too. The color, shape and size of the prosthetic teeth can be easily changed. Even the bite of custom dentures can be adjusted to ensure that patients are able to chew properly using these prosthetic teeth.
When dentists design the preliminary denture, they adjust it until it fits comfortably in the patient’s mouth while testing other concerns. Dentists continue making adjustments to the custom dentures until the patients are completely satisfied with the denture in their mouth. As patients continue providing feedback, dentists are able to adjust the custom dentures accurately according to specifications of each patient. Once both the dentist and the patient are satisfied with the preliminary denture, the final denture is fabricated.
Custom Dentures are Comfortable and Functional
Dentists use special materials to fabricate custom dentures so that they comfortably fit and easily adjust inside the patient’s mouth once the patient begins using the dentures. It is the material these dentures are made of that makes them custom, allowing dentists to continue making adjustments until the patient is satisfied with the results. Dentists do their best to ensure that patients ultimately feel happy with the look and feel of the custom dentures placed in their mouth. Dentists are even able to ensure that their patients feel comfortable even when using their dentures to bite hard by using a permanent soft-liner. The retention of the lower denture when the jaw is gripped by it is also increased by this feature.
Chewing is an important normal function and dentist custom grinds the prosthetic porcelain teeth that used to optimize the patient’s chewing ability. The angle cusp of the upper denture is kept at 33-degree and the dentist custom grinds the lower jaw to fit the upper teeth accurately. Thus, the bite and the chewing efficiency of the denture is stabilized by the custom grinding.
Custom Dentures Feel and Look like Real Teeth
A lovely smile is something that everyone wants and with custom dentures, dentists are able to satisfy their patients and achieve the desired look they want. It is much easier to please patients with custom dentures since they can be easily customized, and patients are able to have prosthetic teeth in their mouth, which are simply perfect for them.
Dentists use a particular material to fabricate custom dentures so that the enamel of natural teeth is ideally simulated. This is why the prosthetic porcelain teeth in custom dentures look so realistic and reflect light in the same unique fashion as real teeth. Thus, for all those who unfortunately lost all their teeth, but still dream of having a beautiful smile, custom dentures can prove to be quite a beneficial solution.

Custom Dentures in Springfield IL – What are they?
May 8, 2012
Custom Dentures are prosthetic teeth replacements, not unlike the dentures you have always heard of, but SO MUCH BETTER! Custom Dentures are made just for you with the look and feel you deserve.
Custom dentures look and feel more natural because they are made with you in mind. Factors such as age, color of natural teeth, size of mouth, gender and physical appearance help the dentist to determine the combination of teeth that would look best in your mouth.
Look at the teeth of others and you will notice that the most natural and beautiful smiles are made up of teeth that vary slightly in length and width, alignment and spacing. “Perfect” or “Chiklet” teeth are not the most natural! With Custom Dentures your smile will not give you away; no one will know that you have false teeth.
