False teeth were once cobbled together from parts of animal teeth and bits of wood. Later, porcelain dentures became common and are actually still used, but they are highly breakable. Acrylic resin is the latest technology in dentures. The supporting structure, or plate, is typically also made from acrylic resin, or else a nylon polymer. There are also metal plates, which are obviously less breakable.
Dentures are somewhat stigmatized as being part of old age. But they remain useful devices for mouth restoration. They are very user-friendly, and for the most part do not interfere with your life or appearance. Our expert in dentures in Glendale recommends you exercise proper oral care, keep annual appointments, and do not sleep in your dentures. Your mouth needs relief.
