At Roman Dental, conveniently located in Houston, we empathize with the struggles caused by missing teeth. Our expert staff – led by Dr. Roman Kotlarek – is also here to help you determine whether dentures can offer relief and improve your quality of life.

Are dentures right for you? Below are five signs that they might be.

1. You’re Missing Multiple Teeth

Have you lost several or all of your natural teeth? If so, dentures can be an effective way to restore both their function and appearance.

Dentures replace lost teeth. That’s not all, though. They can also improve the alignment of your remaining teeth and prevent them from shifting into empty spaces. 

2. You’re Having Trouble Speaking

Missing teeth can make it harder for you to pronounce certain words. However, dentures can potentially improve your speech and make effective communication easier. 

Dentures stabilize the movements of your tongue and lips by filling in the gaps in your teeth. After an initial adjustment period, they may help you to speak more clearly and confidently in social or professional settings.

3. You’re Having Difficulty Eating

If you’ve lost teeth, you may find it more difficult to chew some foods, particularly hard or crunchy ones. 

Trouble eating can impact your nutrition and overall health. The good news is that dentures can help you regain the ability to eat a more varied, balanced diet.

4. You’re Experiencing Facial Sagging

Tooth loss can take away facial structure support, particularly around the jaws and cheeks. This loss of support, in turn, causes the cheeks and lips to sag and often results in a more aged appearance. 

Dentures can fill out your face and profile. They support facial muscles and skin and restore your youthful contours. 

5. You’re Self-Conscious About Your Smile

Are you self-conscious about your looks because of missing teeth? Dentures can restore your full, confident smile by replacing gaps with lifelike prosthetic teeth.
