Top 5 Denture Misconceptions That Young People Have

Losing teeth is a part of life. No matter where you live, what you do, or when it happens, everyone is bound to lose a few more teeth than they like, but that doesn?t mean you have to go through your day hiding your smile!

Let’s take a look at some of the most common misconceptions about dentures and other myths surrounding dentures for young people.

The First Of Five The Denture Misconceptions: Dentures Are for the Elderly

Accidents, medical conditions, and sports injuries happen at all stages of life, but that doesn’t mean you have to live every day tight-lipped and embarrassed. The average person in their 20s has only 27 of their 32 teeth intact, meaning tooth loss is a condition that many people experience. Filling up the spaces left by those missing teeth with dentures will help stabilize the remaining teeth in your jawbone preventing further tooth loss.

The Second Of The Five Denture Misconceptions: Dentures Are Obvious

When we start the process, our team will sit down and pick the right shades for you so that you can have the perfect smile. The only thing obvious about a new set of dentures is how amazing your smile is and the number of compliments you will get.

The Third Of The Five Denture Misconceptions: Dentures Prevent You From Eating

Unlike other dental appliances, like braces and retainers, which have lists of hard foods you cannot eat, dentures are strong enough to stand up to most of your favourite foods. Some patients report needing a little more time chewing their meals, but you can rest easy knowing you don’t have to skip any family dinners or parties. When difficulties in eating foods occur because your dentures are loose-fitting, it is time to get them relined.

You may actually find your speech is greatly improved after getting your dentures
