Dentures are certainly not a revolutionary dental procedure, but the notion of cosmetic dentures is a relatively modern idea. The appearance of the lower half of your face is largely dependent upon the placement, alignment, and stability of your teeth. Poorly placed or ill-fitted dentures are typically embarrassingly easy to identify. Cosmetic dentists are now taking into consideration the patient’s overall appearance and personality when designing and fitting dentures.
To ensure your dentures fit properly and look as natural as possible, Dr. Gordon takes the time to get to know you, closely evaluate the shape of your face, and determine how best to design your cosmetic dentures. He will consider the natural color and appearance of your gums, the required bite you’ll need to prevent facial folds and improve jaw function, and whether porcelain or acrylic teeth make more sense for your particular case. Dr. Gordon can even include small gaps and slight nuances in the color and alignment of the teeth to give your dentures personality and enhance their natural appearance.
