Porcelain and acrylic false teeth are similar in price and have different pros and cons:
– Acrylic dentures are quieter when chewing, look slightly more natural than porcelain dentures, and are more suitable for those with bone loss; however, they will wear out more quickly.
– Acrylic dentures will need soaking overnight to remove bacteria; porcelain dentures are more delicate and need careful handling during cleaning to avoid chips.
– Your dentist will be happy to discuss which option is best for you.
Selection of the most appropriate material for your needs involves careful consideration of wear, durability and maintenance.
