Do dentures change your bite?

I am a 60 year old male. I want to know if dentures change your bite?

If you have no teeth of your our, yes a denture can change the bite, to what you had when you still had teeth. Often, patients with only a few teeth left have a collapsed bite and are overclosed. A dentist can correct this with a denture, that as we say, opens the bite, and restores you to where your bite may have been when you had teeth
A good dentist will fabricate dentures that will give you your best bite possible, given the anatomical limitations of your jaw. Visit your American Dental Association dentist today.
