Can a denture be made to lessen the heavy wrinkle lines running down the sides of my mouth?
Q.
I have a partial bottom jaw denture with three back teeth on one side and four back teeth on the other. Would it be possible to construct a denture which helps reduce the heavy wrinkle lines running down from either side of my mouth?

I have had a lot of dental work done over the years, with all but two of my teeth capped for at least 25 years and with an upper right bridge. Two of my front capped teeth are compromised and I have to be aware of their fragility when I eat. My gums are healthy, as am I. I am 67 years of age.

Hi and thanks for your questions
Hi and thanks for your questions
The simple answer is yes, it could be possible to improve your bite and denture volume sufficiently to improve wrinkle lines. We would of course have to see you in person to ascertain if it would be achievable.
Please call my practice to make an appointment for an assessment. I’d advise that you see our Prosthodontic assessment Dr Nick Fahey
Kind regards
