Cosmetic Dentures are removable false teeth which can help you enhance the appearance of your smile and the health of your mouth after tooth loss
A denture is an appliance which is worn to replace lost or missing teeth. There are generally 2 types of dentures available: a complete denture or partial denture. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are replaced on either the upper or lower jaws. Partial dentures on the other hand are used to fill the space of only one or two missing teeth on either jaw. Dentures used for the bottom jaw are known as lower dentures; while dentures implemented for the top jaw are called upper dentures. Full dentures may be referred to when all teeth from both arches have been lost.
Some of the benefits teeth dentures can offer patients:
• Enhanced facial appearance
Facial muscles may begin to sag without support from a denture. This can make a person look much older than they actually are. Cosmetic Dentures will also dramatically improve the appearance if your smile.
• Improved eating and speaking ability
Teeth dentures may improve your eating and speaking ability – things that people often take for granted until they have lost their natural teeth.
• Maintain Dental Health
Without support from a denture, remaining teeth can begin to shift and move out of alignment – impacting your bite, dental hygiene and immediate dentures may feel awkward or even uncomfortable for a few weeks until you become accustomed to them. A denture can feel loose until the muscles of your cheek and face, learn how to hold them in place. Should your discomfort continue, contact your dentures Dentist as adjustments may need to be made.
