Everyone is self-conscious about something. The impact it has on one’s life can be damaging. Unfortunately, for many people who wear dentures, the experience is often one of extreme self-consciousness.

In 2015, a US Oral Care Survey (Biting Into Denture Care) revealed the negative impact dentures (also called snap on teeth) have on self confidence for people who wear them. One surprising result of the survey was that 53% of respondents said they received their first set of dentures at the age 44 or even younger. So we are not just talking about the lost confidence of the elderly.

Missing teeth can lead to oral problems, but implants and bridges can restore your smile and improve your overall dental health.

Few people will make it through life with a full set of teeth. By the age of 50, the average person has lost 12 permanent teeth to gum disease, injury or decay. Losing your teeth affects your smile and can also alter your bite and weaken your jawbone.

When you’re missing a tooth, it’s more than just a cosmetic problem. Tooth loss can affect the health of your entire mouth. As you rely on your remaining teeth to do all the heavy lifting, they may begin to wear out prematurely or even crack under the pressure. What’s more, having a missing tooth can impact your bite and your speech, and you may even experience headaches or jaw pain.
