Upper dentures are a much more important to how you look than the lower ones are. A beautiful smile showcases the upper ten teeth. When you smile, these upper teeth should completely fill the space inside your lips. The younger a person is, the more of the upper teeth shown. However, a beautiful smile is always in style!

          More of the lower teeth show with excessive wear and less of the upper dentures. Denture teeth are made out of acrylic and acrylic does not stand up to years and years of chewing forces. Denture teeth wear down and the denture wearer's face collapses creating more and more ugly facial lines. Dentures should be replaced every five years.

          Upper dentures are held in place with a suction effect. The better the acrylic fits the edentulous tissues, the better the complete dentures will stay in place. The impression that is used to make the prosthesis must be accurate. Errors in the impression can cause the movable cheek tissues to knock the denture out of place every time you smile or talk. Of course, denture adhesive helps with this problem.
