The common perceptions of a set of dentures are as ill-fitting, tooth-like structures that you can spot a mile away. With the advancements in cosmetic dentistry over the last 50 years, this paradigm is no longer the case. Cosmetic dentist, Dr. Quigless is fully aware that if you need dentures, you want a set that fit well and look more natural than your regular teeth ever did. His eye for aesthetics will have you fitted with a beautiful new set of teeth that are both serviceable and pleasing to look at.
Dentures are prosthetic replacements for your natural teeth when they no longer function properly. There are many reasons you may require dentures including:
- Untreated dental caries
- Periodontitis or gum disease
- Trauma
Depending on the extent of your edentulous condition, you may be fitted with a partial denture plate or a full set of upper and lower dentures. A good set of properly fitted dentures will help restore the following functions:
- Mastication or chewing your food
- Aesthetic appearance
- Speech
- Self-image
While dentures are one of the last options you should consider, there may come a point when Dr. Quigless recommends it as the best treatment alternative available. A new set of dentures made by a skilled cosmetic dentist will not only restore your tooth function, it will help improve your appearance and make you feel better about yourself. The best part is that nobody will know that you wear dentures unless you tell them.
