So you don’t have a mouth full of pearly whites anymore. Should that stop you from having a beautiful smile? Your teeth hurt from doing just about anything, even breathing in air. Should you have to suffer from mouth pain for the rest of your life? Your mouth gets infected so often, that you don’t even look forward to social events anymore. Should you be forced to live a life of solitude just because you are self-conscious about your bad breath or the ill appearance of your smile? The obvious answer to all of these questions is NO.

 

There comes a time in many people’s lives when their gums soften and become extremely sensitive. Their teeth loosen and not only does it hurt to do everything, but it is hard to even enjoy favorite foods because of the extreme pain that comes with bad dental health. Infections and illness can become very risky to your health, not to mention expensive. You deserve the best out of life. It may not feel good to smile, and the cheek area may have begun to sink in around the areas of missing teeth. It is time to consider dentures.

 

Dentures are prosthetic replacements for the teeth. Modern times have produced more modernized dentures; now looking and feeling more like real teeth. They can be removable and held on with adhesives, or permanent; being held into place surgically by implants. There are several options for those who want to make the most of their denture wearing experience especially with implants

 

Once the decision is made to use dentures, a number of visits will first need to be made for measuring, planning, and fitting the dentures to be what is needed for your mouth. A mold is created of the mouth, and a set of teeth are created in a dental laboratory to fit the form of the mold.  Dentures are  generally made of acrylic or porcelain to appear more like real teeth.  It will be necessary to get used to chew, speak, smile with your new false pearly whites, and you’re set to go! Wait! First, you get instructions on how to care for them. Dentures do require some maintenance throughout time, so seeing your dentist is still the way to go. By doing so, the dentist can help make sure you’re taking good care of them, do an oral cancer screening, check your gums to see if you have sores, or other issues like bad breath. Plus the dentures are not forever so at some point, you will need another set to help keep that mouth and the gums clean and healthy.

 

Dentures will give you a new sense of self confidence, and will  bring major improvements to your health, both mentally and physically! Give yourself a new reason to smile!
