Dentures & Youthful Facial Esthetics – Reversing the Effects of Bite Collapse

Tooth loss doesn’t just affect your smile — it can change the entire shape of your face. Over time, missing teeth can lead to bite collapse, causing the lower face to shorten and the skin around the mouth to sag, creating a prematurely aged appearance.

✨ The good news? Modern dentures are designed to do more than replace teeth. They can:

✔️ Restore proper bite height
✔️ Support lips and cheeks
✔️ Reverse sunken facial features
✔️ Rejuvenate your smile and overall appearance

With the right set of dentures, you can regain facial balance, improve function, and bring back a natural, youthful look — comfortably and confidently. 😊

Sparkling water is a far better choice for your teeth than sugary drinks. However, be mindful of what’s in your sparkling water. Citrus-flavored varieties often have higher acid levels, which can increase the risk of enamel damage. To reduce this risk, it's best to drink these types of sparkling water in one sitting or alongside meals, rather than sipping on them throughout the day. By the way, have you scheduled an appointment with us yet? Feel free to reach out at (712) 328-0708!
