If you are looking for natural-looking dentures near you in the Highland, MI area, consider dropping into Milford Dental Care so that Dr. Jill Seguin can discuss the options available to you. Dentures are a wonderful option if you are looking to restore lost functionality of teeth or if you are experiencing some aesthetic effects of missing teeth including a sunken looking face. Let us focus in on a group of people that not many associate dentures with—the young. When many think of somebody wearing dentures, the elderly typically come to mind, but there are plenty of younger people who also benefit from the use of dentures.
Dentures and Younger Patients
The truth is that, although you may not be aware, you probably know somebody younger who wears dentures. Sure, maybe they don’t have to wear a full set like you may think about when talking about dentures, but there are many individuals aged 35 to 44 who wear some form of denture. It is in this age group that 69 percent of people are missing at least a single tooth due to gum disease, tooth decay or an extraction. That’s not even taking into account those who have lost a tooth (or more) through some form of physical trauma. One other major culprit in tooth loss is acid reflux. This incredibly common ailment can cause tooth degeneration and loss due to the extremely corrosive element of stomach acid. Whatever the reason may be, if you are young and missing teeth, dentures are a valid treatment.
Implant-supported Dentures
For many of us who think about dentures, we think about grandpa pulling out his false set of teeth for comedic effect or to just clean them. Many younger individuals who need a form of dentures feel sensitive about it and fear that other people may notice, and it could negatively affect their social life. Implant-supported dentures are one form of denture that may be able to assuage these fears. An implanted denture is one that is surgically inserted into the jawbone so that the denture is held very tightly to the gum. It will not slide around, and nobody will be able to tell the difference from your natural teeth.
