People who suffer from missing teeth may think dentures will be uncomfortable and hard to maintain, but their numerous advantages outweigh any temporary discomfort.
91裸聊视频淔or patients who91裸聊视频檝e lost some or all of their teeth, getting dentures as soon as possible offers many benefits, in terms of both appearance and function,91裸聊视频� says Madison Eschbach of .
Chewing ability
The ability to chew food well not only improves enjoyment, it contributes to overall health and nutrition. No longer having restrictions on what you can eat means having a balanced diet, filled with all the foods you enjoy.
Replacing toothless areas with denture teeth drastically improves chewing ability. However, eating certain foods in moderation will help preserve your dentures.
91裸聊视频淭his is usually people91裸聊视频檚 main concern when considering dentures,91裸聊视频� Eschbach says. 91裸聊视频淎dapting to new dentures does take time and patience 91裸聊视频� for the first few weeks you should eat only soft foods and take small bites. Even after this period it91裸聊视频檚 not recommended to eat a lot foods like nuts, hard candy or whole apples. If you cut an apple into pieces you can avoid the kind of bite that can break the seal on dentures.91裸聊视频�
Aesthetics
Without teeth, your facial muscles will start to sag. Wearing a denture provides support for the lips and cheeks, preventing the 91裸聊视频渃ollapsed91裸聊视频� appearance that can often occur after losing teeth, keeping your natural facial appearance and preventing you from looking older.
91裸聊视频淲ithout teeth the jaw doesn91裸聊视频檛 have any support,91裸聊视频� Eschbach says. 91裸聊视频淒entures hold your jaw in a natural position, not only preserving your facial appearance, but also avoiding potential conditions like caused by an improper bite.
91裸聊视频淲e can also customize your dentures with different colour shades, close a tooth gap or give you bigger denture teeth for a more confident smile.91裸聊视频�
Improved speech
By replacing missing teeth 91裸聊视频� especially the front ones 91裸聊视频� patients are better able to pronounce words like 91裸聊视频榝ifty91裸聊视频�, 91裸聊视频榮tilts91裸聊视频�, or 91裸聊视频榯ent.91裸聊视频�
91裸聊视频淣ew dentures do cause a lisp for a few days, until the oral muscles adjust to the appliance and the tongue has adjusted to resting on the dentures,91裸聊视频� Eschbach says. 91裸聊视频淎fter the adjustment period though, you91裸聊视频檒l have no problem pronouncing all of these words properly again!91裸聊视频�
Self-Esteem
People feel much better about themselves when their teeth look great. A full, beautiful smile can give back the confidence a person may have lost along with their teeth.
91裸聊视频淪ome people come in feeling very self-conscious about a mouth full of bad teeth,91裸聊视频� Eschbach says. 91裸聊视频淲e regularly have people break down and cry when they see their new smile, or when they tell us how happy they are that they were able to attend a big family event without feeling uncomfortable.
91裸聊视频淢y favourite part of my job is seeing people come out of the room with their new dentures, and a big smile on their face!91裸聊视频�
