Common Dental Problems Addressed by Dentures
Gaps due to missing teeth are some of the most potent and prevalent dental problems dentures can solve. This is so because, in the course of our lives, we have health complications, accidents, and aging, hence resulting in the loss of one or many of our teeth, affecting our appearance and, therefore, self-esteem. This puts people in a position where they are too shy to interact with others in public situations. Also, some dental conditions resulting from missing teeth include an aged facial appearance, where one looks way older than the actual age. Dentures have a practical approach to solving these problems by making these gaps and supplying the face with natural shapes to help the patients regain self-confidence and smile.
Improving Chewing Ability and Nutrition
Apart from the issues dealing with a person’s appearance, the lack of teeth creates improper chewing of foods. Such a problem in adequately chewing might bring about negative nutritional consequences as an individual would avoid specific foods they find difficult to chew and thus would experience negative impacts on their health. Dentures have the potential to solve this problem by correcting the chewing ability of people.
Enhancing Speech and Communication
Another major social disadvantage of missing teeth is speaking difficulties, another condition that can be fixed with the help of dentures. It is common knowledge that our teeth are essential for word formation. Inability to articulate correctly, slurring, and lisping are effects of toothlessness or, in other words, missing teeth. This can be highly uncomfortable for people, especially in business or social contexts where one needs to be articulate.
Preventing Further Oral Health Issues
However, it is relevant to mention that dentures are not only focused on covering the issues mentioned above but are also considered as the means to prevent problems in the sphere of oral health. For instance, when a person has gaps in their teeth, the continuing teeth tend to shift and move, causing crooked teeth and leading to jaw issues. It also preserves the space between the teeth.
Advancements in Denture Technology
Dental prosthetics have undergone evolution in techniques and materials, making patient options more comfortable now. Modern periodontal prostheses are designed to mimic the patient’s accurate oral structures and fit well in the patient’s mouth. Modern dentures are crafted to resemble natural teeth and gums, making it somewhat challenging for someone to notice that one uses dentures.
Flexibility in Denture Options
As much as complete dentures can be provided for people with no natural teeth, those who are partially toothless can opt for partial dentures. This flexibility enables dental practitioners to deliver the final treatment solution depending on the patient’s needs, the prosthetic’s functionality, and aesthetics. There may be slight discomfort for the first few weeks when adapting to the new denture. However, most people can cope very well with them.
Seeking Professional Denture Care
For those currently suffering from one of these dental problems and thinking about going with dentures, it’s vital to get in touch with a professional.

+ What were toothbrushes like in the Edo period?
Upper-class people (court aristocracy, priests, and warlords) began cleaning their teeth using tooth twigs during the Heian period.
This custom didn't spread among the common people until the middle of the Edo period when fusayouji (tufted toothpicks made from willow or spicebush) were invented. Fusayouji were made by smashing the end of a twig with a wooden hammer, and combing out the fibers with a needle brush.
Fusayouji and tooth powders became widespread after they started being sold at a toothpick shop on the grounds of Sensoji temple, where a beautiful girl attracted customers. Those customers included Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third Tokugawa shogun, who was said to have rested at the shop during his visit to the temple. Instant fame for the shop and a run on its tooth care products followed, after which other establishments began selling the same.
+ What are tooth powders?
Tooth powders were introduced to Japan from Korea at the beginning of the Edo period. Previously, people used salt or rice bran to clean their teeth.
Tooth powders quickly caught on among the young men of Edo who boasted of their white teeth and brushed diligently. It was easy to tell a true Edokko (Edo native) from a country bumpkin by whether or not he used tooth powder.
In the Bunka-Bunsei period (1804-1830), more than one hundred types of tooth powder were sold in Edo. They were made from boushuzuna (fine-grained sand) to which other substances, such as borneol, clove and cassia, were added for flavor and appearance. High-end tooth powder flavored with musk and colored pink was a specialty item of Edo.
+ How were toothaches treated in the Edo period?
Dentistry became its own specialty during the Heian period and focused on treating teeth and gums, as well as ailments of the tongue and throat. Dentists primarily treated people of means, such as court aristocrats and samurai.
During the Edo period, a second specialty, denturists, came into existence. They treated the common people and provided services such as treating toothaches and gum infections, pulling teeth, and making dentures.
Toothache remedies were made from clove, pepper, alum, and other substances, and were widely sold by denturists and street vendors.
+ How were teeth pulled during the Edo period?
Dentists and denturists of the Edo period used a variety of methods to pull teeth, including grasping the tooth with a plier-like tool or using a wooden bar tapped with a hammer.
An analgesic was commonly applied to the gums to numb them prior to dental work, but tooth extractions were said to have been performed with lightning speed, so the analgesic wasn't always necessary.
+ Were there dentures in the Edo period?
The oldest wooden dentures in Japan belonged to a nun (and former princess) called Hotokehime, who died in 1583 in Wakayama City.
Denturists as a profession came into existence during the Edo period, less than a century later. They made wooden dentures by taking an impression in beeswax and then carving the dentures from wood to fit that shape. Artisans who previously carved netsuke or Buddhist statues often became denturists.
The oldest set of Edo period dentures surviving today were made for Yagyu Matajuro Munefuyu, one of the Tokugawa's Edo sword instructors. (Readers of this tumblr may find the name familiar, he's Samon's brother.) Munefuyu's dentures were carved from boxwood and had teeth made from soapstone, making them look very realistic. (There's a picture here.)
+ Did all women blacken their teeth in the Edo period?
During the Edo period, tooth blackening was practiced almost exclusively by court aristocrats and married women. In 1868 and 1870, bans on teeth blackening were enacted targeting the nobility, but the custom continued until the Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken set the example.

Benefits, Types, & More about Permanent Dentures in Surrey
Permanent dentures provide a perfect solution if you are annoyed with pain caused by traditional dentures that keep slipping and moving. Unlike conventional dentures, these are made to stay firmly fixed in appropriate positions as they are held by dental implants surgically attached to the human jawbone. Unlike loose dentures, the implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a secure anchor; thus, you don’t need to have concerns about the dentures coming off while eating, talking or laughing.
Dentures can be divided into two subcategories: removable and permanent dentures. The first type, implant-supported dentures, are removable dentures that can be clamped. These can be removed for cleanings. The connected implant provides both a secure and stable feeling by preventing them from shifting or sliding when you are doing your everyday activities. The second one is named fixed or permanent dentures or screw-retained dentures. Hence these ones are permanent non-removable implants that are screwed in your jawbone so that only your dentist can take them out. Compared to the fixed dentures, the removal dentures may appear less lifelike but are easier to keep clean by taking them out to remove any food particles.
Permanent dentures belong to that type of dentures that allow more positive consequences than temporary ones. Thanks to the anchoring with screw, the top benefits are the natural improvement of stability and comfort. This means the dentures will not move. Eating all your favourite foods will no longer be a problem for you. Additionally, with permanent dentures, there is no friction compared to traditional removable dentures that irritate your gums and cause sores. The other benefit is that permanent dentures will stop bone recession in your jaw, so your face will keep its full and natural shape and not show a sunken look over the years.
Most people who need removable dentures can be considered good candidates for permanent dentures. However, if there are some health issues, such as unmanaged diabetes or autoimmune diseases, then it can result in being unqualified for permanent dentures. Your dentist will do a comprehensive assessment of your current condition, which involves checking your bone density, health, and medical history to determine if the removable or permanent dentures are safe and will work for you.
Suppose you aspire to have permanent dentures fitted. In that case, your dentist discusses the whole procedure in detail with you, and you know what will be done at each stage and what to expect regarding the full cost. Although the total cost of getting permanent dentures at the first time can be higher than that for the removable dentures, the long-term advantages in the form of effective chewing, self-esteem, and natural bone preservation make the final price all worth it in terms of your improvements of life quality.
If you are considering getting a procedure to replace your removable dentures with permanent ones in Surrey, you can easily book a consultation at Digital Denture Centre. The experienced denturists in Surrey can examine your mouth and explain you different choices regarding which denture is the best for you.
