Hi, I am 23 years old, and I have a terrible smile. My teeth are something between yellow and brown, and I have a huge space between them. I am considering dentures, but I don’t know if I am I too young them. I really need a good advice.

Hi, I was 20 when I decided to put dentures. I had terrible teeth and I was depressed because of it. I wasn’t socializing because I always had a feeling that everyone was looking at my teeth. I was sick and tired of living with that burden. I asked my mother what she thinks, and she agreed that I should have dentures, at least partial. And so I did it. Now I have fixed partial dentures and I feel like a completely new person. It was much more expencive than removable dentures, but it was worth every penny. They look natural, and only few people notice that they’re not real. I don’t think I was too young for this, but if you’re not sure about yourself, maybe it’s better to wait a little.

I know how you feel...but DON"T GET DENTURES....they are the worse thing that has ever happened in my entire life! I too have had bad teeth my entire life and finally at 33, I got full, top dentures. They are horrible! They make be gag so bad that I throw up, I can't eat, I can't leave the house....I am embarrassed that I have no top teeth, my kids can't have friends over because I don't want anybody seeing....but if I wear them, I throw up and continue to do so until they come out! Spend the money and get your teeth fixed...but DON"T GET DENTURES!!!
