I know people who are quite attractive with dentures. I would just make sure however that I'd find an absolute master craftsman to make the false teeth. I've seen people who've had to go back several times to get things altered in order to keep them in. There are Prosthodontists/Denturists out there I wouldn't let near my mouth should I ever need dentures while others really have a gift at crafting a set of dentures.
