It is quite common that someone will lose one or more of their adult teeth, especially the older someone gets. Most people are embarrassed or hide their smile when they know that they have one or more missing teeth, especially those in the front of the mouth.
In these instances, a person can go to a dental professional to talk about fixing missing teeth, and the most common method of doing so is to get false teeth. Nobleton residents should know that false teeth do more than just fix the look of someone’s mouth and teeth. They end up adding functionality back to a person who is having trouble, such as eating or speaking correctly.
While functionality is a big part of getting false teeth, most people are concerned with how they will look afterward. Most people report having increased confidence and smiling more often, but how noticeable are fake teeth to others?
What Material The Fake Teeth are Made From
Fake or false teeth can be made from many different materials, and some materials look a lot more like real teeth than others. Many years ago, the most common way to make a fake tooth was to make them out of some sort of metal alloy. This is why you may see more metallic looking ones from stainless steel or nickel chromium, or you can see gold-plated teeth.
Nowadays, it is much more common to see fake or false teeth that are made from a ceramic, porcelain, or some type of resin. These materials may not be as strong as metal, but they are strong enough to last for many years without any issues.
When it comes to ceramic false teeth, Nobleton residents should know that this material looks a lot like real teeth. They can be color matched to existing teeth, to make them look more like real teeth. To many people, these types of false teeth are nearly indistinguishable from the real thing.
One Fake Tooth Compared to a Whole Mouth of False Teeth
When it comes to the aspect of how noticeable it is to have false teeth, Nobleton residents should know that one or two fake teeth is a lot more convincing than a whole mouth of fake teeth.
As stated above, ceramic fake teeth can be color matched to look exactly like the real thing, as too bright of fake teeth is a dead giveaway. But the more fake teeth are in someone’s mouth, such as with dentures or dental bridges, it can become much more obvious that a person is wearing fake teeth.
Even with that said, some dentures can even be colored and stained to look more like natural teeth with years of use, instead of brand-new dentures that tend to be too white or too bright to be real teeth to many.
