might seem like the worst thing that can happen with your smile, but imagine not having any teeth at all. Try your hand at this quiz to learn more.

Questions

Q1. True or false – Dentures provide the exact same benefits as dental implants.

Q2. True or false – Not replacing missing teeth can cause once straight teeth to become crooked.

Q3. True or false – Six Month Smiles only takes six months for most patients.

Answers

A1. FALSE – Traditional dentures used to be the ultimate means of replacing missing teeth. Then, dental implants came along and solved many of the inherent issues that traditional dentures presented. Dentures can slip if you don’t use messy, sticky pastes for adhesion. Furthermore, jawbone loss can result from missing tooth roots. However, dental implants create a root-like structure that fools your body into keeping your jawbone dense and healthy.

A2. TRUE – When missing teeth are left alone, you could end up with your surrounding teeth shifting or drifting into the space, creating gaps, overlaps, overcrowding, or misalignment. Then you’ll end up needing to deal with both tooth replacement and orthodontics.

A3. TRUE – The thought of wearing metal braces for two years or more may sound bad enough to make you want to just live with crooked teeth. There are several orthodontic treatment options, and each of them has their own individual merits. What does make Six Month Smiles different from the rest is that it focuses on the most visible part of your smile. This makes it possible for the procedure to be finished in such a short time.
