Hello!! :welcome:

My mother got dentures when she was 34 due to a ski accident. The pole hit her in her mouth, and broke her whole front set of teeth...the doctor said she needed dentures.

She's had her same set of dentures for 22 years. You CANNOT tell they are fake. They look very real..... :thumbsup:

However, some people's dentures tend to move around. You need to make sure you go to a reputable dentist who is good with aligning dentures...they REALLY need to make sure they'll fit with your natural gumline...and you need to make sure the size of them is also realistic. My mother has a small mouth, so the teeth are in proportion.

It's all about finding someone reputable..and my mother said it was no problem at all..and that was back in the 80s...today I'm sure it's a breeze.

;D
