The teeth are made of plastic and the dentures can be attached to implants to allow for a more secure fit of the appliance. Research shows that dentures fitted over implants add to your quality of life by allowing you to smile more confidently and chew your food more comfortably and completely.
Dentures over a normal course of time will wear and need to be replaced or relined in order to keep the jaw alignment normal. The alignment will slowly change as the bone and gum ridges recede or shrink due to the extraction of the teeth. Regular dentist examinations are still important for the denture wearer so that the oral tissues can be checked for disease or change.
