Duplicate Dentures are copies of an original denture.
While it sure can be frustrating to be eating something, then all of a sudden without warning the denture you are wearing breaks. It is virtually impossible to keep the denture from moving around in your mouth, and those who have had this experience know that once this happens, you can forget about talking or smiling.
There is a solution for this madness, as a duplicate denture is a copy of an original denture. However, this denture is not made for a permanent replacement in place of the existing denture. Some folks who getduplicate dentures use this denture on a daily basis, but also have noticed some changes with the denture over a short period of time when wearing it on a daily basis.
The dentures teeth can absorb food stains easily. The teeth are made from a cold pour acrylic that is dyed with an ivory pigment to look like the color of natural teeth. Regular dentures are not made by any cold pour process, as they are made by denture teeth manufacturerswho make denture teeth that won't absorb food stains easily. Folks who drink coffee, tea, or eat foods that can stain their regular dentures, should avoid these foods when wearing a duplicate denture because the teeth will absorb most of the stain and gradually darken.
If proper care and attention is given to duplicate dentures, the use of them can be life-savers for thos who have already experienced the dreadul breaking of a denture. Those who have a spare denture can now enjoy life just a little easier without worrying when will their denture break next.
