Dentures, also known as false teeth, are custom-made dental appliances that replace lost teeth and surrounding tissue. They help improve your smile and dental look. Dentures are made of various materials, including resin, nylon, and metal. There are two types of dentures; complete and partial. Partial dentures are beneficial when you have lost some teeth, while complete dentures are useful when you lose all your natural teeth. It is easy to clean dentures since they are removable. Your dentist customizes your East Village dentures to ensure they fit perfectly in your mouth and visually match your natural teeth. There are many benefits of dentures, including:
Improves your speech and eating
Losing teeth can change your speech and make you avoid some types of foods and drinks. It can be difficult to pronounce some letters or take hard and hot foods. When you lose teeth, food can get stuck in the empty sockets irritating your gums. Dentures function like natural teeth, restoring speech and allowing you to enjoy different foods and drinks.
They are easy to maintain
Like your natural teeth, you must take care of your dentures. Dentures are removable, so it is easy to clean them. Ensure you brush your dentures two times daily. Clean them after meals to prevent bacteria and plaque accumulation, which can lead to gum infections or cavities in the adjacent natural teeth. Before you sleep, soak your dentures to avoid the buildup of bacteria overnight.
They help prevent further oral problems
Losing teeth can lead to many oral issues, such as teeth misalignment and gum infections. If you stay for a prolonged period without replacing missing teeth, your jawbone can deteriorate. Dentures prevent other dental conditions. Implant-supported dentures replace teeth roots, preventing jawbone deterioration. Dentures function like normal teeth, preventing oral problems.
Boosts your self-esteem
Missing destroys your smile and dental look and alters your facial appearance, leading to low self-esteem. Dentures restore your smile, and dental and facial look, boosting your self-esteem. Dentures mimic your natural teeth, so people barely notice you have any dental restoration. You can comfortably talk, smile, or laugh without being cautious of exposing teeth gaps.
Restores your facial and dental look
When you lose teeth, your face loses volume, making your cheeks appear sunken. Your facial skin also sags, and your lips thin, making you look older than your age. Wrinkle formation can also happen. Dentures replace missing teeth, improving your dental appearance. They also minimize facial sagging, giving you a younger look.
They are customizable
Your dentist customizes your dentures to ensure they fit well and comfortably. During denture placement, your provider takes an impression of your mouth to help design your false teeth. The dentist customizes them to look and function like your natural teeth. After treatment, you can eat and talk like you have natural teeth. Since your jawbone can change over time, your dentist can craft new ones to replace the old ones. Dentists recommend you replace your dentures every five years.
Dentures, also known as false teeth, are custom-made dental appliances that replace lost teeth and surrounding tissue. They restore dental function, prevent other oral problems, boost your self-esteem, and are customizable.
