Your Dentures Can Make You Look Younger Than Going Without - The Benefits of Restoration Dentistry
Posted on 1/1/2025 by Dr. Hallas
Have you considered dentures to replace missing teeth? If you’re concerned about how dentures might affect your appearance, you’ll be happy to know that dentures can actually make you look younger than going without them.
What Are Dentures?
Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They are custom-made to fit your mouth and can be used to replace one or all of your teeth. There are two main types of dentures: full and partial.
•
Full dentures are used when all of your teeth are missing. They rest on your gums and are held in place by suction or dental adhesive.
•
Partial dentures are used when some of your natural teeth remain. They attach to your existing teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments.
How Can Dentures Make You Look Younger?
Dentures can make you look younger in several ways:
•
They restore the volume of your face. When you lose teeth, your facial muscles begin to sag, causing your cheeks to sink in and your lips to thin. Dentures fill out the empty space in your mouth, giving your face a more youthful appearance.
•
They improve your smile. Missing teeth can make you feel self-conscious about your smile. Dentures can give you a beautiful, natural-looking smile that you’ll be proud to show off.
•
They support your facial muscles. Dentures help to support your facial muscles, which can reduce the appearance of wrinkles around your mouth and nose.
•
They improve your oral health. Dentures make it easier to chew food and speak clearly, which can improve your overall health and well-being.
The Benefits of Restoration Dentistry
Restoration dentistry goes beyond just replacing missing teeth. It can improve your oral health, function, and appearance. In addition to dentures, other types of restoration dentistry include:
•
Implants: Implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed in your jawbone. They provide a strong and stable foundation for dentures or crowns.
•
Crowns: Crowns are caps that are placed over damaged or decayed teeth to restore their shape and function.
•
Bridges: Bridges are used to replace one or more missing teeth by anchoring to your natural teeth.
Conclusion
If you’re considering dentures, know that they can do more than just replace your missing teeth. They can also make you look and feel younger. If you have any questions about dentures or other restoration dentistry options, please talk to your dentist. They can help you choose the best option for your needs and budget.
