If you are missing some or even all of your teeth, chances are you feel self conscious about it and you’re wondering whether dentures would be a good solution for you. Dentures are a relatively inexpensive way to replace missing teeth and they can give you back your confidence and allow you to eat the foods you love again.
Modern Dentures in Southaven, MS are better than ever and with new technologies, they can look very natural. One of the things that made conventional dentures look like false teeth were the way the teeth were aligned so perfectly. With modern dentures, teeth can be placed individually, resulting in a much more natural appearance.Keep in mind that your first set of Dentures in Southaven, MS will most likely need adjustments over time. Gum tissue and the bone underneath will continue to shrink for some time so the dentures will need adjusting to fit properly. They will also wear down with use and need to be reconstructed over time.
You will also need to keep seeing your dentist regularly to make sure that all is well. While you don’t have natural teeth to clean and don’t need to go for cleanings every six months, you should try to see your dentist at least once a year for checkups. Your dentist will make sure that your dentures fit properly and don’t need any repair and that your gums and other oral tissue are healthy and disease free.
Good oral hygiene will still be a necessity after getting dentures as well. Your new dentures will not get cavities, but they are still susceptible to all of the odor causing bacteria in the mouth, and not keeping them clean could cause staining. Brush your dentures every day before soaking them, and be sure to brush your gums and tongue with a soft toothbrush to keep your mouth clean and healthy.
