Psychological Benefits
It can be hard for people who have lost their teeth to fully accept this type of loss. This can often cause low self-esteem, sadness, and depression, as well as negative effects on your social life.
When you restore the appearance and function of your smile with the help of dentures, you’ll benefit from a boost in self-esteem and confidence. Replacing lost teeth can reduce anxiety about your appearance, speech articulation, chewing capabilities, and more in social settings.
Clearer Enunciation
When you’re missing teeth, it can be harder to enunciate properly. To pronounce words correctly, your lips and tongue need to be positioned in the right way. When you cannot touch your tongue to your teeth, some words can be extremely difficult to pronounce clearly.
When you replace your missing teeth with dentures, your tongue can once again touch the correct points on your teeth to allow you to enunciate properly. With just a brief adjustment period and a bit of practice, speaking will come naturally with your new prosthetics.
Improves Nutrition
Many nutritious foods are tough in texture, such as certain vegetables, fruits, and healthy proteins. If you are missing your teeth, these foods become difficult to chew. This can in turn lead to other problems like indigestion and malnutrition.
When you restore your ability to chew with dentures, you can once again enjoy a more expansive diet, rich in nutritious, delicious foods you may have had to turn down in the past. Thus, your dentures can assist your body in receiving the essential nutrients required for optimal overall health.
Preserves Oral Health
If you still have remaining natural teeth, getting a new pair of dentures can prevent them from shifting to other areas of your mouth. Furthermore, because your dentures can bear some of the weight of regular chewing, they can help reduce the wear and tear on your existing teeth.
Expands Opportunity
Your smile is your calling card, and one of the first things people notice about you. Whether it’s a job interview, a big promotion, or a first date, it’s essential to make a good first impression, and having a confident, healthy smile is a major advantage!
