5 Benefits of a Smile Makeover
So you are finally ready to take the next step in your oral health care. Not only does taking care of your oral health impact your overall health, but it also has some other added benefits you may have not thought about.
Let us explain.
Confidence– Speaking, eating & socializing
Did you know that missing teeth can make it more difficult for you to speak? This is because, to pronounce and form words, your lips, teeth, and tongue need to position properly. Some words are very difficult to pronounce without touching your tongue to your teeth. You may also feel like you have anxieties about attending social gatherings because you are nervous about how others may perceive you, how you’ll be able to engage in conversation and even eat food.
Smiling’s Effects on your mental health
Did you know that when you smile, your brain releases tiny molecules called neuropeptides to help fight off stress? Other neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins come into play too. The endorphins act as mild pain relievers and serotonin an antidepressant. One study even suggests that smiling can help us recover faster from stress and reduce our heart rate (Rigglo 2012).
Quality of Life
Having the best quality of life is one of the biggest factors that contribute to your health, well-being, and life expectancy (especially our senior population). Don’t let ill-fitting dentures hold you back from doing the things you enjoy most.
Enjoying foods you love
Eating with your new dentures may require a bit of strategy that before, may not have even been thought about but don’t worry, our Denturists are here to help guide you. You deserve to eat what you want and replacing any missing teeth will get you there faster.
Looking Younger
A person who has no natural teeth or well-fitted dentures can lack facial support and some may even say that they look older. This can occur because as the bone in your mouth resorbs and the jaw disappears, the distance between the nose and chin (vertical dimension) continues to fall. At the same time, the lips continue to flatten causing little vertical wrinkles and folds to form. This accelerates the appearance of aging. Well-fitting dentures provide the necessary support to your lips and cheeks, giving them a more full appearance.
