Which denture is better?

Modern people’s lives are rich and their table culture is also colorful. Various cold, spicy and irritating foods often cause oral problems, such as toothache and periodontitis. Although toothache is a minor illness, it seriously affects people's lives. Therefore, many people choose medication, or directly extract teeth, install dentures and other methods to treat oral problems. Nowadays, dentures are made of a wide variety of materials. Which type of dentures is best for the oral cavity? Let me give you a detailed introduction below.

Fixed dentures are small in size, comfortable, beautiful, and free of foreign body sensation. They are easy to get used to after being put into the mouth, and their chewing function is well restored, just like real teeth. Installing fixed dentures requires that the elderly person only has one or two missing teeth, the adjacent real teeth are of sufficient height, the tooth roots are stable, the tooth tissue is healthy, the teeth are in normal position, and there is no tilt or twisting. If the elderly choose fixed dentures, they must pay attention to cleaning the crowns, especially ordinary metal braces, which are corrosive and can easily cause reactive inflammation or allergies of the gums, so special attention must be paid to hygiene.

Removable dentures consist of dentures on a base and elastic metal hooks, which the elderly can take off and put on freely. Removable dentures have low requirements for molars and are cheap. If you are not satisfied, you can also do fixed restorations.

If the elderly have the following three conditions, they should choose to install removable dentures.

1. Missing posterior teeth behind the gums;

2. There are many consecutive missing teeth and the gaps between missing teeth are large;

3. With severe jaw defects, fixed restoration cannot restore its ideal appearance and fullness.

The above is the knowledge I have introduced to you about installing dentures. In fact, dentures are the treatment method that is chosen only when the dental problems are serious. Therefore, we must protect our teeth in daily life, eat less cold and irritating foods, master the correct brushing method and brush our teeth on time to maintain oral health, and avoid the progression of oral problems that may lead to tooth extraction or dentures.
