While tooth loss is a harsh issue, many hesitate to get dentures<\/a> for their smiles. The prosthetics often get linked to nasty rumors and stereotypes. In truth, though, the gossip around them is usually false. You can trust dentures – they work quite well as tooth replacements! To prove this claim, your Arlington Heights dentist is here with evidence. So, read on to learn four common myths about dentures and why they’re just wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Myth 1: Dentures Always Look Fake<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s world, some people assume dentures always look awful. They think the artificial teeth simply can\u2019t seem like real ones. However, this idea is patently false.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you buy high-quality dentures, your treatment results will look very lifelike. That\u2019s only natural \u2013 such prosthetics use dental porcelain. This latter material matches enamel, so the dentures blend seamlessly with your smile. In fact, your friends and family may not notice they\u2019re artificial!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 2: Dentures Always Slip or Fall<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Another typical belief about dentures is that they always slip or fall. \u201cAfter all,\u201d this argument goes, \u201cmost models are removable.\u201d Still, the view is incorrect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to technology, modern dentures are made to fit their owner\u2019s mouth. Dentists work to ensure the new teeth sit snugly on your gumline. As such, there shouldn\u2019t be much slipping or falling (if any at all). Instead, the restorations will remain steady and help you eat, speak, and smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 3: Dentures aren\u2019t Customized<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As it happens, one rumor says dentures aren\u2019t customized. That they aren\u2019t \u201creal teeth\u201d is taken to mean they\u2019re generic and one-size-fits-all. Even so, the truth is typically the opposite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You see, quality dentures from a dentist are customized. Lab workers craft them to work with your mouth specifically. Specifically, a lab will shape dentures to bolster your looks and fit you just right. That way, you\u2019ll get ideal results from the treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Myth 4: Dentures are Effortless<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every so often, a rumor will suggest that dentures are effortless. They don\u2019t decay like natural teeth, so the restorations must not need care. Sadly, though, this sentiment is just a myth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, dentures require regular care to work properly. Not cleaning them will lead to a buildup of plaque and food bits. From there, you\u2019ll be at greater risk of gum disease and similar infections. Worse yet, rough handling could cause the dentures to break. You\u2019d then need a dentist for repairs or replacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clearly, many common myths about dentures exist. Remember the ones above so you don\u2019t get duped!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
