Can Dentures Change Your Appearance?

Jan 15, 2024

Did you know that 57% of those aged 65 to 75 wear some form of denture? That doesn't mean everyone is excited about getting dentures. Some people put off getting false teeth because they are worried that others will notice. Can dentures really change your appearance all that much? Yes, in a good way. Here's how.

Cosmetic Benefits of Wearing Dentures

When you are missing teeth, your face and jaw lack the structure needed for support. As a result, your face and cheeks may appear hollow or sunken in. Not only that, but missing teeth can also result in bone loss, meaning that the problem will only get worse over time.

Dentures help "fill in" for missing teeth, and can make your face look younger and fuller as a result. So the right set of dentures could possibly take ten or more years off of your appearance.

Will Everyone Know I Am Wearing Dentures?

Improved techniques now make dentures more natural-looking than ever. Modern dentures also provide more stability and security than before. This means you will not have to worry about your dentures slipping while you are eating or speaking. 

Some dentures are fully removable, while others are permanently affixed with one or more dental implants. In any case, they are custom fitted to the contours of your own mouth and crafted to match any remaining teeth as closely as possible. So the only thing other people will notice is your dazzling smile.
