i want dentures.. at 23.

[smallgums]

Hi all
I'm looking into gettin my teeth removed and having dentures. I have massive over crowding and small gums for my mouth (thus the name smallgums) I've been told that I will need 6-8 teeth removed my gums worked on and then a spacer and then braces to get my teeth perfect.. in all being out of wrk for at least a month if not longer..

I'm completely comfortable in getting rid of my teeth.. Id like to enjoy the rest of my 20s with a great set of teeth not be brace face for god knows how long.

Is this a possible idea.. I'm willing to pay out of pocket for this to be done.

Thanks! Chris.

It doesn't sound like a good idea to have teeth removed at a young age. One of the aesthetic functions of teeth is that the roots act as an anchor for the bone in your gums. Without them this bone will degenerate potentially giving your face a sunken appearance. You could consider implants also although these are more expensive.
