Let’s face it, dentures are not comfortable the majority of the time. Especially dentures with a small mouth.
If you have a small mouth, you’ve probably run into some difficulties from time to time. Eating large sandwiches, getting braces, etc. If you have a small mouth and bad teeth, dentures are likely to be another one of those struggles.
So if you’re considering dentures or currently struggling with them due to having a small mouth, you should know dentures are not the only way!
Dental implants are your solution to failing and missing teeth that don't involve suffering with dentures when you have a small mouth.

Do Dentures Work for People With a Small Mouth?
Before we jump into all your options for replacing missing teeth with a small mouth, let’s jump into why dentures with a small mouth just don't work.
So, “technically” you can get dentures if you have a small mouth. You are able to spend the money to make it happen.
The question is not whether you are able to get dentures, the question is will dentures work for your small mouth.
The truth is, they don’t work super great.
You might be able to force them into your mouth … but how will they look and feel once they are inside?
When you have a small mouth, you cannot open your jaws as wide as the average person. To wear dentures, you must be able to fit your full set of false teeth into your mouth every single day.
That’s a problem.
You can’t fold them or bend them in half to wedge them between your jaws. They must fit smoothly through.
The reality is that dentures are not small. Dentures are not malleable. Dentures require daily removal. Dentures are breakable. Dentures do NOT fit everybody.
Dentures are bulky. Dentures are big.
Small mouth + Bulky Dentures = Big Problem.
If you need a little more proof that dentures are not a great choice, we’ve got that, too.
Problems That Come From Dentures With a Small Mouth or Without
Dentures contribute to bone loss. Wherever you have missing teeth, bone atrophy will happen. Our bones need the teeth to be present to cause that bone to regenerate and stay strong.
Imagine if you have no natural teeth (because they have all been pulled to make room for your dentures). There is nothing to help that bone regenerate and stay strong. So, that bone literally begins to shrink.
The longer you wear dentures, the more your bone shrinks. It shrinks and shrinks until you have no structure around your mouth. You could have sunken lips, sunken cheeks, and chin.
When this happens you’ll notice that your dentures are slipping more and more.
It’s then time for a relining. Then, pretty soon, those dentures won’t fit and need to be completely replaced.
That cycle will continue for the life of your dentures because your bones will just keep withering away, smaller and smaller.
Conversely, dental implants are a permanent solution. One that won’t require refitting and with proper care, are designed to last a lifetime.

Options Other than Dealing With Dentures With a Small Mouth
Dentures may have been popular in the past, but with advancements in technology, people are beginning to realize the many drawbacks of dentures, especially dentures with a small mouth.
Instead of enduring dentures, you can get brand new permanent teeth in 24 hours at Nuvia.
Dental Implants with Permanent Teeth in 24 Hours
When it comes to replacing the teeth in your size-challenged mouth, Nuvia has got your back.
Dental implants are small, screw-like devices that are placed strategically in the jawbone. As they heal, they fuse with the bone creating an incredibly strong foundation for a set of permanent, custom fitted teeth.
These sets of fake teeth do not come in and out each day, they stay in the mouth permanently.
Unlike traditional upper dentures, these permanent teeth don’t come with a palate rubbing against the roof of your mouth. (See why palateless dentures don’t fix this problem either)
They are not just designed to look like natural teeth, they are created to feel and function like natural teeth as well.
Dental implants also function like natural teeth to keep the jawbone healthy. If you wear dentures with a small mouth (or a regular sized mouth) for a prolonged period of time, you may lose too much bone to qualify for dental implants.
If this happens, you’ll be stuck getting your dentures refitted over and over as your jawbone shrinks.
We know you are ready to bite into food without pain, to smile with no gaps, and to chew food without worrying about false teeth coming loose.
Don’t put off your consultation for dental implants until it’s too late!

The 24 Hour Process
Traditional methods of dental implants may take up to 10+ months to be completed. This includes procedures advertised as “Teeth-in-a-day”.
“Teeth-in-a-day” is very different from permanent teeth in 24 hours.
Teeth-in-a-day promises are a bit misleading. Yes, you can have teeth in a day … but you’re not finished. Those are not your final set of teeth. You’ll need to keep going in for appointments and adjustments.
Permanent teeth in 24 hours is actually what it sounds like. 24 hours after your dental implant procedure, you’ll get your final set of permanent teeth.
Getting dentures with a small mouth comes with a host of problems. Problems that can be solved by dental implants and a set of fake teeth that are created custom for your mouth.
Nuvia Dental implants will actually stimulate your bone when you chew, the same way your natural teeth encourage your bone structure to regenerate and become stronger. So not only will dental implants with permanent teeth be secured comfortably in your mouth, they will also keep you from experiencing bone loss.

How Much Do They Cost?
The cost of dental implants is going to depend on a few factors including location, the experience of your provider, and the material used to give you a new smile.
The nice part about getting dental implants at Nuvia is that the cost is just a one time cost that many patients pay for using affordable payment plans. No hidden fees, no add ons.
Dentures may seem like they’ll save you money but in the long run, there is likely to be additional costs. These could come from repairing the acrylic material they’re made from, getting them refitted due to bone loss, or just needing to replace them after a few years.
