There are a few reasons why you may lose your teeth and require dentures; chief among them are tooth decay, periodontal disease and an injury. Replacing those missing teeth will not only help you eat better, but the dentures will keep your facial muscles from sagging.
Dentures--an expensive necessity for people who have lost their natural teeth through periodontal disease, injury or tooth decay-- allow you to eat and speak properly, while enhancing your overall appearance.
The cost of replacing a single tooth in a denture can vary widely, depending on where you live and whether you go to a dentist, an independent denturist or do it yourself using a kit.
It is no secret that wearing dentures is a pain. They slip and cause sore spots on the gums. Implants are an alternative that solve many common problems associated with denture wearing. There are pros and cons to both dentures and implants, but the biggest difference is the cost.
