Living without teeth seriously impairs your ability to live life to the fullest. First, without the internal support provided by the teeth, the cheeks and lips sink inward, giving people without teeth an older and unhealthy appearance. Second, the teeth play a major role in sound formation and without them, toothless people tend to slur their speech. Third, people with no teeth are limited to eating soft, easily gummed foods, resulting in poor nutrition and poor overall health.

Dentures can give you a new lease on life by improving several aspects of your total well-being:

• Restored chewing ability allows you to eat a broader range of foods. A varied and improved diet provides better nutrition and enhances your general health.
• Restored speaking ability improves your confidence in social situations.
• Restored facial structure means that dentures make you look immediately younger and healthier, a great boost for your self-confidence.
