Hi,
Dentures are prosthetics devices in the patient's mouth that could fill or maintain the facial appearance by adding more material or just keeping a reduce amount of the prosthetic material. Thank you
Yes. The contour of your face will probably improve since the dentures will restore the space that was removed when your natural teeth were extracted. A properly fitted denture will provide you with better ability to chew vegetables and fruits, which will likely improve your diet and skin condition. Getting used to new dentures means go slow until you become confident in your speaking and eating abilities. If any sore spots appear, see your dentist immediately for an adjustment. It is not unusual that minor adjustments are needed as your gums become used to the new denture.
In some cases, yes. However, not as much as not having teeth.
To some degree they can. You can add or take away fullness of the face With

If done properly you should look normal.
