Are dentures purely cosmetic, or do they also serve a real purpose in eating?
Published: November 28th, 2009
My mom is getting a full set of dentures. I worry about her choking without teeth right now. Will the new dentures help her chew food? The set is suppose to be nice. They cost $1800. Thanks for your help!
The main purpose of the dentures is to chew the food properly as is required for proper digestion. Cosmetics is a great bonus of well made teeth. I wish her luck in getting used to them.

Yes, dentures are a great help to people with no teeth.They work just like natural teeth.Dentures also help to keep a person’s face from looking sunken in.With no teeth our lps and cheeks get droopy.Dentures alao help a person to speak normally.I’m glad your Mom got a good set.

Yes, of course they help to chew food!
They are also good for her phonetics (pronunciation ).

the main purpose of dentures is for chewing, but it does build self esteem if you have a nice smile so it works as cosmetic and as a real purpose.
