Dentures would probably be last on most peoples list as a method to overcome tooth loss with in London Bridge; there are more durable ways of rectifying this situation and history has never placed older forms of dentures in a great light, possibly because aside from the fact that they often looked like what they are – poorly constructed and fake, and they could be at times, awfully difficult to keep in the mouth.
Shrinkage
Over time, the gums tend to shrink after loss, leaving the dentures ill-fitting and no matter what cements you use, they can come loose easily. This is why it can make eating very uncomfortable. But dentures have been going through a bit of a revival of late and that is testament to the amount of effort put into their design and manufacture; digital imaging and x-raying can also help to make precise measurements and predict the possibility of future gum shrinkage.
Modern Dentures
Here, the use of softer materials used in the making of modern dentures means that they cater for gum shrinkage and adhere to the mouth better. Cements have also improved and the combination of both these elements means that the denture holds fast when in place. Throw in a third element of having mini implants set into the jaws with which to attach the dentures to, and suddenly steak is back on the menu. Another reason why people go for dentures is that not only are they the cheapest option to overcome tooth loss with, but they are easy to manage as well. So all in all, dentures are starting to become a reliable and attractive option to choose.
