Dentures provide more than tooth function and restored oral health, they have the power to transform your appearance and rewind the clock! Studies show, 80% of those who have dentures were thought to look a whopping 5-20 years younger!
Anti-aging benefits of dentures include:
– Improved cheek muscle support
– Enhanced lip shape
– Improved tooth length
– Increase jaw length
– Brighter, whiter teeth.
If you want to know more about the anti-aging benefits of dentures, we cover it all in this blog.
Dentures support your facial muscles
Without the support of teeth, the skin and muscles around your cheeks can lose some definition, creating a sunken look. This effect is sometimes associated with ageing, but it can happen at any point in life due to tooth loss.
By filling out the gaps left by missing teeth, dentures provide support for your facial tissues. This can help reduce the sunken appearance and bring back a softer cheek contour to your face, one which is typically associated with the “fuller” cheek appearance of the young.
Dentures enhance the shape of your lips
Without the support of teeth, lips may lose volume and appear sunken inward. This can also make any fine lines around the mouth more noticeable. Interestingly, as we age, the space between the nose and upper lip (philtrum) naturally tends to lengthen. Young people often have a shorter philtrum.
By filling the gaps left by missing teeth, dentures provide support for your lips. This helps lips appear fuller and reduces the sunken-in look. Also, the improved lip support can minimise the appearance of fine lines around the mouth. In some cases, dentures may even help create a slightly shorter philtrum length, contributing to a more youthful look overall.
Enhance the length of your teeth with dentures
One subtle sign of ageing is the shortening of teeth due to wear and tear over the years. Dentures, however, can be customised to your specific facial features. This means your dental clinician can create teeth with a slightly longer length, if appropriate, to achieve a more youthful appearance.
Benefits of slightly longer teeth in dentures:
- Enhanced smile: Longer teeth can add fullness to your smile, making it appear brighter and more youthful.
- Reduced gum exposure: When your mouth is at rest, dentures with slightly longer teeth can help ensure your upper teeth are slightly visible, which is a characteristic often associated with younger smiles.
By considering these details, your dental clinician can create dentures that not only restore your functionality but also contribute to a more youthful look.

Increase the length of your lower face with dentures
As we age, our facial structure can change due to bone loss and reduced muscle support. This can lead to a shortened jawline, contributing to a more sunken appearance and an older look.
Dentures can help restore a more youthful jawline. By filling out the gaps left by missing teeth and providing proper support, dentures can help your jaw return to a more defined position similar to when you were younger. This results in a slightly extended jawline, which can create a more youthful and balanced facial profile.
Whiter, brighter, younger smile with cosmetic dentures
Having a brighter, whiter smile can make you look younger, and make you have the confidence of your younger days again! Denture clinicians can help you choose the right shade of white, so you can have a whiter smile – typically associated with younger individuals.
