Are you missing multiple teeth? Who wouldn’t feel uncomfortable with their appearance when faced with such a predicament? While it’s not uncommon for people with missing teeth to avoid smiling altogether, closed-mouth grins in pictures or looking away when you pass by a coworker is no way to live. Fortunately, there are multiple options for tooth replacement, and they don’t always require a hefty financial commitment or surgery. Consider how far full and partial dentures have come.
Dentures for your Lifestyle
Missing teeth can affect your quality of life. Not having teeth is even potentially detrimental to your overall health. A toothless mouth means your nutritional options become limited to soft and liquid foods. Even if you make wise choices such as spinach smoothies, you cannot survive on Popeye’s favorite milkshake alone. People who do not flood their bodies with plenty of micro-nutrients (from plant based foods) are going to have a hard time maintaining their overall health. Fortunately, replacing your lost adult teeth with partial or full dentures will make it possible for you to eat most of your favorite foods.
A Realistic Look
While dentures of the past may have relied on clunky, low quality materials that made teeth look false, modern fabricators customize dentures from the highest quality materials. Dentures include acrylic which is easily dyed to blend in with your gum tissues, so no one will know that you’re not flashing a natural smile unless you tell them. If you are only missing some of your teeth, partial dentures may be the solution for your quandary. Partial dentures have metal clasps that attach to the abutment teeth on either side of the space where teeth are missing for a secure fit. And like full dentures, they are designed, dyed, and sculpted to fit in with all of your surrounding smile.
