Will Dentures Make Me Look Different?

Will Dentures Make Me Look Different?

The idea of having a brand new smile — a mouth full of new teeth — is very appealing to you. One of your main worries, though, is that your dentures will make you look different. In reality, dentures can dramatically improve your appearance and be virtually unnoticeable as long as you as you take steps to keep them functioning at their optimum level.

When you first are fitted for dentures, you will need to practice the best method for removing them from and placing them in your mouth. During your first few weeks of wearing dentures, you may need to make several trips to your dentist so that various parts of the denture can be adjusted. This ensures that your dentures are fitting properly and comfortably rather than irritating your gum tissues.

Modern dentistry allows dentures to look more like your natural teeth than ever before. In addition, they actually help your entire face to remain the right shape because your dentures support your facial muscles. On the other hand, when you do not wear dentures, your facial muscles sag, and this makes you look older. As a result, dentures indeed can help to improve both your smile and your overall look, helping to fill out your face’s appearance and profile.

Your dentist can create dentures featuring replacement teeth that best match your needs and desires in terms of your teeth’s size, shape and color. Dentures essentially are created to resemble your natural teeth, so neither you nor anyone else should notice a drastic change in your appearance.

With dentures, you can enjoy dining at your favorite buffets and not worry about having to steer clear of your favorite foods due to a lack of teeth. You can also take family photos while smiling fully and confidently.
