Getting dentures at 23?

Hi. I'm a married 48 yo woman, just so you know where I'm coming from. I would think that being in pain (which probably affects the way you look too), having nasty looking teeth (yuck!) and constantly being too embarred to smile would be enough to make up your mind. Yes, you are only 23, but at 23, you should be obsessing about a lot of other things besides your teeth! There are probably a lot more people that you know that have dentures than you realize. Yes, dentures can be a nuisance. They take some getting used to, but once you do, having a nice smile and being able to show it makes it worth the bother. And, anyone that would be worth having shouldn't be turned off or disgusted by a nice set of teeth, even false ones. If they are that shallow, then you don't need them in your life. As far as implants go, I myself am looking at getting partial implants. They only have to implant two posts in your lower gums and the whole lower plate just snaps down onto it. The problem most people have (I've heard, anyway); is that the lower plate tends to move around and this particular type of implant solves that problem. The upper plate, because it covers the entire roof of your mouth, stays in place due to the suction created. As long as they are properly fitted, that is. My husband (49) and most of his 7 siblings all have dentures and they all have much nicer smiles now than they did when they had their own teeth. My advice to you is this: Go get yourself a nice set of fakers and as a bonus you'll also get a big boost in your self confidence. Smile on!!
