Resin Teeth

Resin teeth are synthetic replacements for missing natural teeth, so they are also known as synthetic resin teeth. Artificial teeth can replace people's missing teeth, helping fill out people's facial profiles and improving people's appearance. They also help people to speak, eat, and chew easily.

Materials of resin teeth

Resin teeth are generally made of diverse sorts of resin or porcelain. Porcelain is a translucent material that takes on the outlook of natural enamel. Porcelain resin teeth feel a lot like natural teeth, and they generally have hard, nice surfaces. However, because of their hard surfaces, they are breakable if dropped on hard surfaces accidentally. People who utilize porcelain resin teeth need to take good care of them in case they are dropped on hard surfaces. The porcelain teeth also have another drawback, that is they make an obvious clicking sound when people's teeth come together. For that reason, some users may turn to select acrylic resin instead. Acrylic resin teeth are popular among people because they are lighter in weight and cheaper than those made from porcelain. Acrylic also adheres better to the base of the artificial teeth, and it is easy to form the proper occlusion. However, acrylic resin teeth may wear out faster than porcelain, so users need to replace and maintain them more often.

Types of resin teeth

There are diverse types of resin teeth available for users. Full resin teeth or complete resin teeth molds are utilized to replace entire sets of teeth. If dentists cannot save natural teeth, full resin teeth will be suggested to their patients. By using complete resin teeth, people can restore chewing and eating. What's more, their confidence and self-esteem can also be improved because the teeth can help people maintain a fuller and more youthful appearance. They are also cost-effective choices for users to choose from. However, the retention of the teeth may decline over time, and the teeth may slip out of place when eating or speaking.

Partial resin teeth come in fixed and removable options. Fixed partial resin teeth are also known as implant-supported bridges. Fixed partial resin teeth can replace a few missing teeth in a row with a prosthetic tooth and two dental implants, so they are ideal for people who have three or more missing teeth in a row. They are screwed or glued into people's mouths. However, installing the teeth requires surgery, and they are more difficult to clean because they usually need special floss.

On the other hand, removable partial resin teeth can replace some missing teeth in people's upper or lower jaw. They can be removed at any time people want. They also restore the natural feel, look, and function of the natural teeth and surrounding tissues. Due to their underlying frameworks, the resin teeth are more durable. Because of their removable feature, people can clean their teeth easily. Removable partial resin teeth are advised for patients who are not suitable for an implant-supported bridge, which includes those who cannot undergo surgery. However, they also have some drawbacks. For instance, when people smile, some metal clasps may appear, affecting users' appearances. If they are not cleaned with proper methods, they are also prone to plaque buildup.
