Many people are not aware of the adverse effects missing teeth can have on their overall health. Chewing your food properly is the beginning of good digestion. Missing teeth can make this first step in your digestive process difficult. Restoring the missing teeth with dentures can improve the situation considerably.

Not only do missing teeth affect your ability to eat properly, they also impact your appearance. Teeth provide structure for your facial muscles. When they are missing, your cheeks and lips have a sunken, collapsed look. Dentures can restore a more youthful look to your face.

When you are missing all of your teeth, eating healthy foods is almost impossible. The collapsed look of your cheeks and lips makes you look old beyond your years. However, there may be a more compelling reason to have those teeth restored. Research has found that people with no teeth have higher incidences of chronic kidney disease.

A complete set of dentures can make you look younger. Your smile becomes instantly appealing and you feel better because you look better. You also feel better because you are able to eat the foods you enjoy. Your body receives proper nourishment as a result of healthy eating.

Perhaps you have only a few teeth missing, or perhaps you have many teeth missing but you still have some worth saving. Partial dentures restore the missing teeth. They provide you with a full, beautiful smile once again. They also provide you with more chewing surface which you need in order to get the full nutritional benefits of the foods you ingest.
