Denture esthetics is more than tooth selection.
The selection of the proper mold and shade of denture teeth is but one part of denture esthetics. Compensating for lost alveolar bone, correctly positioning anterior teeth for lip support, and reestablishing the correct vertical dimension of occlusion, in combination with proper tooth selection, creates good denture esthetics. Proper contour and normal physiologic movement of the muscles enhances an esthetic denture, whereas improper support can severely detract from it. Even though denture construction requires a step-by-step progression, these steps cannot be isolated but rather must be integrated to produce an optimal result.
