Dentures are removable artificial teeth that can come in two forms: partials or completes. Just like the name sounds, partial dentures cover only a portion of missing teeth with other natural teeth present in the mouth. A complete denture set covers the entire mouth that no longer has any natural teeth present. Dentures are a great way for individuals with missing teeth to restore a beautiful, natural-looking smile!

Other benefits of dentures include:

Increased self-esteem. People with missing teeth can often feel embarrassed or ashamed of their appearance. After all, your smile is one of the first things people notice about you. But a benefit of dentures is a beautiful, pearly-white smile that makes you feel confident, self-assured, and ready for your close-up!

Improved quality of life, including improved eating and speech. Dentures support your facial muscles, allowing you to be able to eat foods you weren’t able to eat when you had damaged or missing teeth. With a bit of practice in your new dentures, you should be able to chew tougher foods like meat, caramel, crunchy fruit, and everything in between. Support from dentures can also improve your speech. If certain words are difficult to enunciate with missing teeth, dentures can help you to enunciate your letters and words better and restore your usual manner of speaking.

A cost-effective option. Dentures are an affordable option when compared to other dental procedures and cosmetic alternatives. Generally, partial dentures are more affordable than complete dentures. Plus, most dental insurance benefit plans will cover at least part of the cost of dentures because it is considered restorative coverage. Be sure to explore your insurance options as you consider dentures.

Long-lasting. Dentures can last for anywhere between five to ten years before requiring replacement, and even longer with exceptional care. This makes them a great investment in the health, attractiveness, and confidence of your smile.
