Why would someone need dentures at 25?

Bad teeth and gums: If a person's remaining teeth are unrestorable or gum disease is severe, all teeth might have to be extracted. Dentists want our patients to keep their natural teeth their entire lives, but many things are out of our control. 25 is way too young to need dentures. I can only guess that there are other problems, conditions and financial reasons that are leading to this.

Dentures Treatment: Dentures are usually the last resort when restoring the mouth. If you have advance periodontitis and only very few teeth can be saved, dentures are the fastest and least expensive way to have teeth. If all of your teeth are severely decayed and you may be losing them because you can't afford to save them, dentures are an option. Radiation cancer treatment to the jaw may require denture treatment.

Not the best option: If there are multiple missing teeth then dentures is an option to replace these teeth. However, it is not the best option. Look into dental implant treatment which is the best treatment available for replacing missing teeth.

Teeth beyond saving: If the teeth cannot be saved, due to advanced periodontal (gum) disease or advanced destruction of tooth structure (for example from caries, injury, developmental deficiencies), then all the remaining teeth may need to be extracted, and, unfortunately, that may even be necessary at 25. Of course, dentures are not the only way to replace missing teeth, and implants are very successful today.

Many reasons: Teeth may be missing or severely broken down and poorly functioning due to many reasons. Decay, clenching , grinding, gum tissue disease, bullemia, acid reflux, no access to dental care, poor diet high in sugar, "meth mouth" (drugs), trauma, etc. At 25 the best treatment would be fixed reconstruction on implants. See a Prosthodontist for evaluation and options.

Many reasons: There are so many reasons for a person to have false teeth by an "early age" it's hard to guess. Ask your dentist if you are a good candidate for dental implants. Good luck.
