Dentures rely on your gum tissue for support. Besides not having your own teeth these are some short comings of traditional dentures.
- Fit- especially the lower denture due to multiple factors
- Chewing. Most have only 1/4 chewing ability as compared to natural teeth
- Taste, Because your roof of the mouth is covered we lose a lot of taste ability
- Bone loss- once you lose teeth you lose bone and support
- Facial changes- due to bone loss you will appear a lot older then you really are!
