2 Strategies for Improving Aesthetic Dentures

Discover two strategies to creating dentures that seamlessly integrate with individual anatomy for a realistic appearance.  

Crafting aesthetically pleasing dentures requires a meticulous approach that acknowledges the unique characteristics of each patient’s mouth. It’s not simply about designing a beautiful smile, but rather creating a restoration that seamlessly integrates with individual anatomy for a realistic appearance.

To consistently deliver these results, two core strategies are paramount. Experts like Dr. Miles Cone, with his combined clinical and laboratory expertise, emphasize the importance of these approaches in creating aesthetic dentures that truly harmonize with patients’ natural features.
 

Manage Patient Expectations

Social media plays a large role in portraying unrealistic expectations when it comes to dental aesthetics. Patients must understand that natural dentition possesses inherent imperfections, and the goal is to replicate this hyper-realism in their dentures.

Dr. Cone emphasizes that wearing dentures with an artificial, overly white appearance can look uncanny to patients and their loved ones. When wearing dentures that mimic the subtle nuances of natural teeth and gingival characteristics, they will blend seamlessly with the patients’ natural features.
 
“I don’t want patients to walk into a room and their teeth are the first thing people notice,” says Dr. Cone.
 

Optimize Your Workflow

The ability to produce high-quality, perfectly imperfect results every time depends on streamlined workflows and efficient instruments, which can be a challenge.
 
“Years ago, I had an amalgamation of different kits of my favorite burs I had come across throughout my career,” Dr. Cone states. “But nothing was streamlined or organized.”
 
He took matters into his own hands, collaborating with Komet to create his very own kit that contained all of his favorite instruments for any step of the process. Utilizing dependable, high-quality burs enables clinicians to focus on the artistic aspects of aesthetic denture creation, rather than grappling with inefficient methods.

By prioritizing clear communication to manage patient expectations and implementing a streamlined workflow with quality instruments, dental professionals can create aesthetic dentures that not only restore function but also enhance a patient’s confidence. This approach ensures that each patient receives a truly personalized restoration.
