Dr. Tom Meyer, dentures provider at Meyer Dental Group Mount Prospect: "Aging is a natural part of life, but it doesn't mean you have to give up looking and feeling your best. One significant change many people face as they age is the loss of teeth. While this might seem like a purely dental issue, the effects go much deeper, impacting your facial structure and overall appearance. This is where Fountain of Youth (FOY) Dentures come into play. FOY Dentures can help restore your youthful look and improve your confidence by addressing these underlying issues. Explore this blog article to learn more!"
The Hidden Consequences of Tooth Loss
Losing your teeth affects more than just your smile; it alters the proportions of your entire face. Natural teeth roots play a crucial role in maintaining the health of your jawbone by stimulating it through everyday activities like chewing. When you lose teeth, this stimulation stops, causing your jawbone to recede. As a result, the lower third of your face shortens, leading to a sunken, older appearance. Additionally, wrinkles and fine lines may develop around your mouth and chin, further adding to an aged look.
A Youthful Face is Harmonious and Balanced
Your muscles, bones, skin, and teeth all grow together to form a balanced and harmonious face. But aging can lead to lost teeth. When you lose all your teeth and your bone starts to recede, nothing holds your skin and muscles in place. They begin to sag and hang, causing several noticeable changes:
- Tissue folds and wrinkles around the mouth
- Hanging skin under the chin
- Puffy neck or double chin
- Jowls hanging down below the jaw
- Sunken lips and cheeks
So why aren’t traditional dentures the answer? Traditional dentures don’t take your facial shape into account, and they don’t seek to replace the lost structure of your face; they only replace your teeth. This is where Fountain of Youth Dentures make a significant difference. FOY Dentures help you look younger by replacing the full stature of youthful teeth and the lost bone structure of your jaw.
Why Traditional Dentures Fall Short
If you have traditional dentures, you know how loose and unstable they can be. Loose and unstable dentures are uncomfortable and non-functional, but they pose another problem too. Traditional dentures are placed directly over your jawbone in an attempt to make them more stable. But that stability comes with a price; your dentures shrink in with your jawbone. This can lead to a perpetuating cycle of bone loss and denture adjustments, which can be frustrating and costly.
The Advantage of FOY Dentures
FOY Dentures are designed with a neuromuscular approach, meaning they are crafted to work harmoniously with your facial muscles and jaw. Unlike traditional dentures that can slip and cause discomfort, FOY Dentures ensure even pressure along your jaw and gums. This even distribution helps your dentures fit better and encourages your jaw muscles and facial muscles to function more effectively. The result? Improved facial support that can make you look younger and more vibrant.
Dentures Mount Prospect: Transforming Smiles and Lives
Finding the right dentures in Mount Prospect can be a game-changer for your appearance and confidence. FOY Dentures are designed to slow the progression of bone loss by providing optimal support and fit. They don’t pinch or put pressure on the wrong areas of your jaw, which helps decelerate bone loss compared to traditional dentures. As a bonus, FOY Dentures are more comfortable and won’t hurt your jaw or gums.
Traditional Dentures Pose Other Problems that FOY Dentures Avoid
Traditional dentures often lead to additional issues beyond discomfort. Their loose and unstable nature can make everyday activities like eating and speaking a challenge. Moreover, because they are placed directly over the jawbone, traditional dentures can contribute to further bone shrinkage. This is where FOY Dentures shine. They are placed over your jawbone and muscles, preventing them from shrinking with your face. Plus, our FOY Denture specialists will adjust your dentures as needed, ensuring you always have a youthful and full face and smile.
