Are you on the market for a new set of dentures? You're probably already aware that there are two types of dentures available today: traditional and digital. The conventional denture is made with a flesh-coloured acrylic base that fits comfortably over your gums. The upper denture's bottom covers the roof of your mouth, and the lower denture is structured to accommodate the tongue. While traditional dentures work well for most people, digital dentures provide optimal precision and comfort.
Digital dentures are created out of a block of tough resin. Unlike conventional dentures, which can distort over time, the resin used to make digital models won't lose its firm shape. This type of durable material makes for a more comfortable feel than acrylic, and it's proven to last longer than the traditional acrylic denture base.
Before you start shopping for a new set, consider digital dentures' benefits.
They're Scientifically Accurate
Did you know that digital dentures are scientifically proven to precisely record how your teeth should bite together? The technology used to create digital dentures finds how far apart your teeth should be, accurately levels out your smile line, puts your front teeth in the correct spot, and then traces your bite to place your jaw joints in the right position. It's an incredibly detailed process, and because of the accuracy involved, digital dentures are often much more comfortable than conventional. When your jaw and teeth line up, your entire mouth can't help but feel relaxed and comfortable.
They Last Forever
Have you ever accidentally broken or lost your dentures before? Repairing and replacing them is such a nuisance. You have to get impressions made again to make a brand new set. But this isn't the case with digital dentures. Find a denture clinic that offers AvaDent Digital Dentures. AvaDent's permanent digital denture records make it easy for your denturist to update or replace your pair in a flash. Your denturist can create new digital dentures almost immediately because of your digital file. Your records will forever be kept on the software program so if you ever lose them or have an accident, they can be easily be remade.
There are Fewer Appointments
Consider the traditional denture appointment process. Can you even remember how many times you've sat in your denture clinic waiting room? We're guessing that you've taken several trips to see the denturist since you started wearing dentures. For example, you've probably gone in for moulds, extractions, fittings, and adjustments. However, it only takes a couple of appointments with digital dentures to make any adjustments due to the high-tech software program that stores patient's information.
Less time spent at the clinic is beneficial to both you and your clinic's staff. You won't have to spend as much time there, and the denturist will have more chair time available to other patients. Most importantly, you'll spend less time with fewer or no teeth while you wait for your digital dentures to be replaced or repaired.
As you increasingly digitize your life, from the iPad to the Alexa virtual assistant, why not modernize your dentures? If you're looking to update the way you wear dentures, consider the benefits of going digital. The technology and science behind digital dentures offer significant convenience, accuracy, and comfort.
