Why Get Dentures from a North London Dentist?
Not all dentists offer dentures as a way to make up for the loss of some or all of your natural teeth – that is why there are North London dentists who specialize in dentures. A person who has lost some or all of his real teeth (either because of aging, an accident, or lack of proper dental care) will probably suffer from a loss of self-esteem and confidence as a result. Certainly there is a big difference between the smile of someone who has all his teeth, and someone with big gaps here and there to hide. When you lose your natural teeth, the shape of your mouth, and even your face, changes which is why people who lose their teeth look much older than they really are as a result. But with the right dentures fitted by the right dentist, the facial muscles surrounding your mouth do not sag anymore so you look more like your real age. Your dentures dentist in North London may provide you different types of dentures, depending on your oral needs.
If you lack just a few teeth, you could benefit from partial dentures. If there are a whole row of teeth missing either in your lower or upper jaw, then he might recommend full dentures instead. One thing you have to be prepared for is, whichever you wind up with, that the dentures may take some getting used to at the start since they may be a tad uncomfortable to wear at first. It is not recommended that you use your dentures to bite into or chew on very tough food (such as well-cooked boiled beef) since the dentures may slip out of position or even out of your mouth. You might choose to fix them firmly in position with a special fixative if this tends to happen. If you want to secure your dentures firmly in place dental implants may be the answer. You should also not be too conscious of the price of good dentures – in the end, they pay for themselves in terms of the self-esteem and confidence that you regain when you realize how great your smile looks again.
