6. Will dentures make me look different?
   Answer: Today, the technology behind prosthodontics has become so advanced that you probably will barely notice a difference in your appearance. Each set of dentures is personalized to your gums, lips, tongue...your whole mouth. Additionally, before you are given your permanent dentures, molds are made in wax for you to try them on and see how they look.
7. How long can I have my dentures?
   Answer: Dentures typically last anywhere from 5-10 years. Even though your teeth are gone, your mouth and gums will continue to change shape for the rest of your life. Because dentures are artificial, obviously, they will not change with the shape of your mouth, and you will them replaced or adjusted. Also, make sure you see your regular denturist annually at least, so as to avoid any major problems you cannot identify yourself.
