How do our dentures differ from ones covered by insurance?
Concerning full dentures covered by insurance, it is possible to have soft dentures made within the scope of health care services provided by health insurance. So why don't we recommend those dentures at our clinic? There are a few reasons.
First, the greatest difference is the knowledge that our specialist dentists and technicians possess.
In order to learn German denture technology with a long history, our dentists and technicians are required to possess vast stores of high-caliber knowledge in their field. They cover every possible angle to design dentures for our patients that can be used for a long time.
The condition of patients' teeth is never the same
There are many differences in bone condition, the presence or absence of nerves, number of teeth, tooth position, and many other variables. You should be aware that there is no guarantee that you are getting the best design possible with health insurance-covered dentures since they are limited by design parameters and rules.
Also, materials are a problem
Since insurance-covered dentures are made with a soft resin, they absorb stains from food, coffee, and tobacco. Stains and foul smells sink into the resin and may cause bad breath. Also, prosthetic teeth are limited to prefabricated plastic teeth. They lack the hardness and grooves that occur with natural teeth making it difficult to chew and easy for others to notice your dentures simply by looking at them.
Next, there is the problem of time spent making the dentures
Upper and lower molds are sent separately to dental technicians who specialize in making insurance-covered dentures. The technicians never see the faces of the people whom they are making dentures for. They also use the most economically reasonable materials. Since the muscles of the mouth and the gums are not considered at all, many dentures made in this manner unfortunately suffer from weak adsorption and tend to fall out easily.
At our clinic we specialize in materials and production
Dentures not covered by insurance from our clinic are made by technicians who take pride in the materials and methods that they use. They use the best materials available to meet each patient's needs.
High precision Ivocup System
First of all, for materials, we use a low-water absorbing material that doesn't let smells or stains soak in, making our dentures more hygienic. This is because we use the high precision Ivocup System which applies 2 tons of pressure to the resin making our dentures thinner yet stronger and more resistant to water absorption.
Artificial teeth from Liechtenstein Ivoclar nearly indistinguishable from natural teeth
We use Liechtenstein Ivoclar artificial teeth which as functional as real teeth and we allow you to choose from a large selection of colors. These teeth feature strong natural grooves that allow you to crush and grind food as if you were using your natural teeth.
We are able to make detailed fine adjustments quickly since our technician is in-house
Our dental technicians who specialize in constructing non-insurance-covered dentures are located in the annexed dental lab in our clinic. The dentists and technicians work together to make dentures that fit our patients perfectly. Since the technicians are located onsite, we can also quickly handle detailed fine adjustments. Your mouth muscles support these dentures through adsorption making them more secure the wider you open your mouth as you laugh or sing. Rarely can anyone notice patients wearing a set of our dentures and your pronunciation will also improve greatly.
