For lots of people tooth loss might feel like a devastating reality.  Whether due to injury, gum disease, or neglect, some of us have lost most or all of our teeth at a relatively young age.  Mention dentures to your friends and they will probably cringe at the stereotyped notion of grandma’s teeth in a glass.

For many, experiencing tooth loss and having dentures fitted means a few things: constant discomfort and inconvenience, the end of eating several of your favourite foods, and the beginning of the battle against a sagging jawline. No one wants to face the reality of that!  And now we don’t have to.  Dentistry has come on so much over the years that those nightmarish images of false teeth paired with old age really are a thing of the past.  Now, with the right dentures, tooth loss means only tooth gain.

But I hate the look of false teeth!

It’s very important not to carry on suffering without dentures.  Apart from the obvious embarrassment of gaps, and the difficulty chewing your food, without the support of a full set of teeth your cheeks will begin to collapse, becoming loose and saggy and making you appear to be much older than your years suggest.  These days dentures are all about creating natural looking teeth and gums that really compliment your face, so that even the most scrutinising of your friends and family will find it difficult to realise that what they’re looking at isn’t actually your own.

Your new dentures will feel like home from home – but with the added benefit of a perfect finish.  And where food is concerned, your habits and routines can remain the same.  Keep hold of your youthful looks and get the quality of life you deserve.  Speak to your Paddington surgery today about the many hassle free denture options that are now available.
