Choosing Artificial Teeth for Your Dental Practice
- Tooth Material and Composition — Acrylic resin teeth bond chemically with denture base materials. High-quality acrylic teeth offer good wear resistance and can be easily adjusted chairside during try-in appointments.
- Anterior vs Posterior Teeth — Anterior teeth prioritise aesthetics with natural translucency. Posterior teeth feature anatomical occlusal surfaces designed for efficient mastication and proper vertical dimension.
- Shade Selection Considerations — Match tooth shade to patient age and remaining natural teeth. Shade guides help select appropriate colours that complement skin tone and provide lifelike prosthetic results.
- Mould Size and Shape — Mould selection affects facial aesthetics and phonetics. Consider patient facial form, arch size, and gender when selecting tooth moulds for optimal denture aesthetics.
- Sheet Teeth Configuration — Sheet teeth come pre-arranged for efficient denture setup. Cards typically include upper and lower sets organised by quadrant, streamlining the laboratory workflow.
- Storage and Handling — Store artificial teeth in cool, dry conditions away from light. Proper storage maintains colour stability and prevents material degradation before use in prosthetic fabrication.
