Get My Dentures

Saturday, November 14th, 2009

There are several reasons that people want to “get my dentures”, however, the most common reason is that they have periodontal disease. In this disease, the bacteria attack the teeth below the gum line and cause the teeth become loose and painful. After losing a number of teeth, it becomes difficult for the person to eat and speak. Prosthetics partly remedy this problem.

Implants, also known as false teeth, can be of various materials. The base of the prosthesis is typically a resin that is dyed to match the gums. This helps the dentures less evident. The teeth may be in resin or porcelain.
