Debunking Common Myths About Dentures

When it comes to dentures, there are many misconceptions that might create unnecessary worry or hesitation for those considering them. At Community Denture Centre, we want to clear up these myths and help you make informed decisions about your dental health.

Myth 1: Dentures Look Fake

Today’s dentures are carefully designed to look natural and fit comfortably. Advances in materials and design mean modern dentures closely resemble real teeth, enhancing both your appearance and confidence.

Myth 2: Dentures Are Uncomfortable

While some initial discomfort is normal, properly fitted dentures shouldn’t cause pain. Our experienced denturist at Community Denture Centre in Penticton and Oliver will custom-fit each set of dentures to fit your mouth precisely. With time and a few adjustments, dentures can become comfortable and very easy to wear.

Myth 3: Dentures Are Only for Older Adults

Tooth loss can happen at any age due to various factors like injury, illness, or decay. You may have lost a single tooth. Dentures are a practical solution for people of all ages who need to restore a tooth and their smile.

Myth 4: Dentures Make It Hard to Eat and Speak

It may take some time to adjust, but most denture wearers regain normal speech and eating habits very quickly! Our team provides tips and guidance to help you adapt and feel confident with your new dentures.
