- They can restore your smile. If you are self-conscious about gaps in your teeth, dentures may be the right solution for you. By filling in the spaces left by missing teeth, dentures can give you a natural-looking smile that you can be proud of.
- They can help with chewing and speaking. When you have one or more missing teeth, it affects your ability to chew food properly and may cause you to slur your words. Dentures can help restore your bite so that you can eat and speak with ease.
- They can improve your oral health. When you have gaps in your teeth, it leaves room for bacteria to build up and causes an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease. By filling these spaces, dentures can help reduce your risk of developing these problems.
How are dentures cared for?
It is important to brush your dentures daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and nonabrasive toothpaste to remove food, plaque, and bacteria. You should also rinse your dentures after eating. Be sure to clean your tongue, gums, and roof of your mouth, as well. In addition, dentures should be soaked in a denture solution at least once a day to remove any remaining residue.
