1. Dentures Protect Your Health
When you are missing teeth, you can’t always maintain the healthiest diet. Additionally, having teeth missing can result in a loss of bone mass in your jaw, which affects your other teeth. Missing teeth have been linked to serious medical concerns such as kidney disease and diabetes, as well. When you choose removable dentures, you protect your overall health.
2. Dentures Make You Look Younger
Did you know that the facial muscles in the cheeks and under the eyes are supported in part by your teeth? Without teeth, your facial muscles can weaken and sink in, causing you to look much older than you are. Dentures give your face youthful plumpness.
3. Removable Dentures Are More Affordable
One reason that many of our patients choose removable dentures over treatments like implants is due to the price. Dentures are custom made to fit your mouth, but because they do not have to be implanted, and don’t require any special hardware such as with bridges, they are typically more affordable.
4. Removable Dentures Are Easy to Maintain
Modern-day removable dentures look more realistic than ever before and are very easy to maintain. A full and complete set of dentures may need a few visits to adjust until the fit is just right, but after that, you will be able to continue living as normal with minimal visits to the dentist.
