If you’ve lost all or most of your natural teeth, whether from gum disease, tooth decay, or injury, replacing your missing teeth will benefit your appearance and your health.  A great way to accomplish this is with dentures.  Dentures are removable appliances which replace missing teeth and restore your smile.  They make it easier to eat and speak than you would otherwise without teeth—things that people often take for granted.

Additionally, when you lose teeth, facial muscles and skin begin to sag, making you look older. Dentures will help fill out the appearance of your face and profile. They can be made to closely resemble your natural teeth to restore your original appearance. 

If you have any questions about your dentures or missing teeth, or if they stop fitting well or become damaged, contact Edwards Family Dentistry to see what your options are. We will examine your mouth to see if your dentures fit properly and determine if changes need to be made.  Be sure to schedule regular dental checkups, too.
