If common misconceptions are holding you back from experiencing a healthier, more self-assured smile, then it’s time for you to discover the truth about dentures.
Myth #1: Dentures Look Unnatural
When you opt for a professional dentist, like those at Golden Dental Solutions, you will receive high-quality dentures made with care and personalized to you. During this process, they will match the synthetic gum tissue to the color of your gums, take proper measurements of your mouth, and ensure the teeth match the color of your teeth or the color of your skin tone for full dentures. This ensures your dentures will appear natural and fit your mouth appropriately.
Myth #2: It’s Difficult to Eat With Dentures
It’s a common myth that those with dentures struggle to eat many different foods. But the opposite is true. It’s actually much more difficult to eat without teeth or dentures.
As with any dental appliance or procedure, you must adjust to the dentures’ feeling. This may make it difficult to eat certain foods at first. But once you have become accustomed to their fit and feel, you should be able to enjoy your favorite foods once again.
If you struggle to eat with dentures or they are slipping, it may be time for a new pair of dentures.
Myth #3: Dentures Last Forever
Despite what you may have heard, dentures do not last forever. Generally, a pair of dentures lasts about five to seven years but can last much longer with proper care. In time, you will have to have them replaced.
You can ensure that your dentures last as long as possible by taking proper care of them, including regular cleanings, storing them properly, and getting them evaluated annually by your dentist.
