We all want a complete smile that we can show off with confidence. However, some of us will experience tooth loss. This can be due to various reasons, such as accidents where teeth get knocked out or oral health deterioration. A single missing tooth, or missing teeth or somewhere in between, should be replaced with dentures.
Wearing Dentures
When dentists mention dentures, many think of our grandparents and teeth that don’t look natural. However, we can say that dental technology and dentures have advanced so much that dentures have become a popular tooth replacement solution for all ages. Some of the main reasons why people may be reluctant to wear their dentures are:
Loose: Many have seen, experienced or heard about dentures falling out. If you have loose dentures, they can drop when you talk, laugh, or sneeze. Not only can this be embarrassing, but they can also break if they fall completely out.
Appearance: Dentures have been known to look unnatural and unattractive. This is the case when dentures are used that do not fit properly and are low quality.
Soreness in Gums: The appearance and gums are affected when a denture doesn’t fit properly. Your gums can become sore and uncomfortable.
Speech: Dentures that are not fitted correctly and are loose can affect your speech. You may find it difficult to talk and to pronounce words.
Why Dentures are so Important
While dentures can have problems, it is very important to wear them and ensure they fit well. If you don’t wear your dentures, you may suffer from the following issues:
Bone Loss: Bone loss can occur when you are missing teeth. This can result in face changes and problems with the jaw. Wearing dentures can help support your jawbone and remaining teeth if you have any.
Appearance: When bone loss occurs, your face looks can change. You can experience sagging skin and sinking around the eyes and mouth. You can avoid this by wearing dentures.
Smile: If you don’t wear your full or partial denture, it will affect your smile. When you laugh or smile, the missing gaps will be visible, affecting confidence. With a denture, you can have a complete smile.
Gums: Missing teeth without a replacement solution can affect your gums. Other teeth can become loose, and the gums can become sore.
