Top 7 Myths About Wearing Dentures Debunked by a Dental Prosthetist
Myth 1: 'Everyone Will Know I'm Wearing Dentures'
Fact: Modern custom dentures incorporate individualized tooth shapes, layered translucency, and tissue-shaded acrylic that look completely natural.
Myth 2: 'Dentures Are Only for Elderly People'
Fact: Tooth loss affects adults of all ages due to sports injuries, genetic conditions, or gum disease. Modern partial and full dentures serve patients of all ages.
Myth 3: 'Dentures Last a Lifetime Without Adjustments'
Fact: Jawbones naturally change shape over time. Dentures require relining or replacement every 5-7 years to maintain proper bite and retention.
