What material is best for dentures

We all know that a healthy body is directly related to our diet, but once the teeth are damaged or fall out, we will not be able to chew food better. When necessary, we have to install dentures so as not to affect our normal diet. However, many people are particularly afraid that dentures are not strong and will frequently cause secondary damage to the body. Therefore, before installing dentures, you should have a better understanding of the material of the dentures. Let’s learn about what materials are good for dentures.

What material is good for dentures?

Porcelain teeth:

These materials are common.

Nickel-chromium alloy is very cheap, costing 200 to 300 yuan per piece, but it irritates the gums and causes them to turn black, and is said to be harmful to the body. Not recommended.

Titanium alloy, this one is better, 500 yuan each. It has stable performance, is non-toxic and has no irritation to gums.

Cobalt-chromium alloy is more expensive than titanium alloy, costing 1,000 yuan each.

Gold porcelain teeth, 1,000 yuan each, with stable performance.

Pure titanium porcelain teeth, costing over a thousand yuan each, are very good.

All-ceramic teeth also cost more than 1,000 yuan each and have stable performance, but because the inner wall is not metal, it is relatively brittle.

I recommend using titanium alloy or pure titanium porcelain teeth.

Protect your teeth, share my decades of life experience, and say goodbye to tooth decay:

My decades of valuable experience and painful lessons in fighting tooth decay (caries) have proved that only fluoride toothpaste and fluoride mouthwash can prevent tooth decay. Toothpastes that do not contain fluoride, such as various medicated toothpastes, xylitol toothpaste, and calcium-containing toothpaste, have no anti-caries effect at all. Using a fluoride-free toothpaste will not help much, even if you brush your teeth carefully and correctly after every meal. Chewing gum is even less useful.

Whether a person's teeth are prone to decay is determined when the permanent teeth grow out. Some people seldom brush their teeth and often eat sweets, yet none of their teeth have cavities; some people carefully protect their teeth every day, never eat sweets, but still get cavities. This is because the former have good genes and the body can easily absorb calcium. When permanent teeth grow, the teeth are well calcified and have a fine texture, so dental bacteria cannot adhere to the surface of the teeth. The latter's teeth are not well calcified and there are tiny gaps on the surface, so dental plaque can easily adhere to them, and it is almost impossible to brush them off with the abrasives in the toothpaste. Even if you brush your teeth to the point of wearing them out, plaque will still shamelessly cling to them.

The above is an introduction to what materials are best for dentures. After understanding this, we can make better choices when installing dentures. Although each type of denture has its own advantages, we must make choices based on the damage to our own teeth. We cannot judge only based on price. We must choose the best one that suits us.
