When are dentures necessary? 

Dentures are used for missing teeth or complete toothlessness. If you have had to have your teeth removed, you can use implants (very durable, but also expensive. Read more about them: "Implants UK - everything you need to know".

Why are missing teeth so dangerous? 

Missing teeth cannot be ignored, even if they are invisible at first glance. Why? Teeth can shift, which can lead to malocclusion and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint. They can also be more prone to periodontal disease. They are much more easily damaged and, consequently, can fall out. 

That's not all! If your mouth lacks teeth, you may have trouble breaking down food. And this can even lead to digestive disorders. Therefore, if a cavity has appeared in your denture, it is necessary to replace it.
