Changes From Missing Teeth
When someone loses their teeth, whether due to decay, disease, or trauma, the result can be many changes to the structure and function of their mouth. One example of this is that the remaining teeth may shift and become misaligned, causing difficulty with chewing and biting, affecting eating.
Teeth also provide shape to our facial structure, especially in our cheeks. Without teeth, your face may begin to appear sunken or aged. Another effect of tooth loss is that the jaw bone may lose its density because there are no teeth or roots to stimulate bone growth. All of these things may change the function of your mouth and the appearance of your face.
Benefits of Dentures
In addition to supporting your jaw and cheeks to prevent the above changes resulting from missing teeth, many people choose dentures in Marine City, MI, because dentures are cost-effective, natural-looking, and removable. Compared to dental implants or bridges, dentures are a cost-effective solution to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. Since they are lightweight and natural-looking, many people adjust to how dentures feel in their mouth and appreciate how they complete the look of a full set of teeth. Lastly, it is easy to remove dentures for daily cleaning, which can significantly benefit continued oral hygiene.
