Some people approach teeth replacement with undue apprehension. Sure, losing all of your teeth, or even just losing a single broken tooth or chip tooth, can be a saddening experience. But despite many free-floating myths, dentures need not cause any hardships or lifestyle changes.

Let’s examine some factors that often concern people who need their teeth replaced. First, dentures today are designed to look just like your old teeth, so your dentures won’t alter your facial appearance — except that they might make your smile brighter.

Second, wearing dentures does not mean you need an entirely new diet. Yes, eating with dentures often takes a period of acclimation: It might feel strange at first. Nevertheless, you should be able to enjoy a wide range of foods, especially with flexible dentures, whereby the soft nylon bases ease the chewing process. In addition, with implant dentistry — in which a framework for your false teeth is surgically implanted — you have dentures that are especially strong, able to handle all kinds of food textures and hardness levels.
