This is from a periodontist (me) who fixes the ravages of this DIY crap when it goes south.

Now here is some valuable advice from an actual pro. My dad, who went through life w dentures due to some youthful stupidity, once gave me advice about fake teeth. We were watching TV and some celebrity or politician was on w the typical horrible, obvious fake teeth that were too white and large.
He said that if I ever need cosmetic dentistry, to only go to a periodontist. He told me of how when he was young and could not afford good dentistry, he had lousy dentures and that he never smiled in photos, his mouth was always closed. His dentures were so good and natural looking that no one could tell and I actually went for years at a time completely forgetting that he had them. Of course, everyone wants nice looking teeth but the key is that they are natural looking. The moment they look fake, they are horrible, IMO.
