Hello, Absolutely! Depending upon the dentist and the laboratory that he/she uses to fabricate your dentures will determine how your dentures will look and fit. There should be 3 to 4 visits to your dentist for the fabrication of your new dentures.
In the hands of an experienced dentist you can contruct realistic looking dentures. Exact measurements, ideal impressions and a prosthetic lab will give the patient dentures that look real and feel great.There are other options which should be discussed for dentition replacement but under certain conditions dentures can be a less costly option and create a pleasing smile.
When dentures are custom made it is possible to make them look like "natural" teeth. It does cost more to use better materials in the denture fabrication (Better teeth, better acrylic, more customization of course these are an upgrade and will cost you more out of pocket.)
Please remember that a basic denture can improve your overall appearance especially if you are missing multiple teeth. But remember dentures are not attached to your jaws but are retained with proper fit and perhaps some adhesive. Hope this helps and answers your question.
Hello that’s subjective. Typically yes but they are plastic. Sometimes porcelain.
