Porcelain dentures replace missing teeth to enhance one’s look and protect the gaps from infection. They are considered a better alternative to plastic dentures because of their added hardness, durability, and longer wear. They can also be stained to match the shade of the other teeth for a more natural look.
A common drawback with porcelain dentures is uneven bite, which results from changes in the alveolar bone. This requires frequent refitting to keep them from damaging the bone and disfiguring the face.
Noise: Choose porcelain dentures with a soft protective coating to muffle the clacking sound produced when the teeth are tapped together. Pressed ceramics are more solid and produce less noise than felspathic porcelain.
Fit: Choose porcelain dentures that fit properly around the curve of your gums. Allow a little room for bone growth, since porcelain teeth place considerable impact on the alveolar bone and may alter its structure.
