Will Dentures Make Me Look Like My Grandma?

“Will Port St. Lucie dentures make me look decades older?” This is the question that gets asked a lot. For some reason, patients have associated dentures with their grandparents and now they’re scared to give dentures a try thinking that wearing them would make them look older.  

Truth be told, dentures will have the opposite effect on you. Today’s modern-day dentures are barely noticeable because they are cleverly designed to blend flawlessly with the rest of your real teeth giving you a beautiful, natural-looking smile.  

How Can Dentures Make You Look Younger?

A Youthful Smile

Did you know that your smile is the first thing people notice about you? Many think it’s the skin or the eyes but research reveals that it’s actually your smile that makes a lasting impression. When you have a broken or cracked tooth, you won’t feel confident showing your teeth.  

Imagine if you don’t have teeth at all. Surely, your self-confidence will take a hit. A new set of properly fitting dentures will restore your confidence by giving you an attractive and youthful smile.  

Support Facial Structure

When you lose your teeth, your jaw and your face will start to droop. These sunken features are responsible for making you look older. When you’re wearing a denture, it will support your facial structures by giving your face more volume. 

Missing teeth also causes your jawbone to deteriorate. With dentures over implants, the metal posts anchored to your jawbone will prevent bone resorption.
