Recognizing the Need for Dentures

What are dentures? Dentures are artificial teeth used to replace missing teeth. They can restore your smile, confidence, and oral functions. Dentures can be inserted and removed by the patient.

Identifying when dentures might be necessary is crucial for maintaining oral health. At Nickles Dental, we help patients recognize the signs that indicate dentures could be beneficial.

Consider the following indicators:

• Multiple missing or severely damaged teeth
• Difficulty chewing or speaking
• Chronic tooth pain or gum disease
• Shifting or loose teeth
• Changes in facial structure due to tooth loss
• Self-consciousness about your smile

If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, Nickles Dental is here to provide expert advice and personalized denture solutions. Reach out to our team for a comprehensive evaluation.
