What kind of dentures should I install

Many people did not take good care of their teeth when they were young, which resulted in various dental problems when they grow up or get older. Some serious problems require tooth repair and filling. In severe cases, the teeth need to be extracted and replaced with dentures. With the development of technology, many types of teeth have appeared, such as porcelain teeth, removable dentures, and implanted teeth. What kind of dentures should be installed? Let’s take a look together below!

1. If you want porcelain teeth, you need your own teeth to support them. Generally, if a tooth is missing, the teeth on both sides of the missing tooth need to be ground down a bit, and then three porcelain teeth are made. That is, if one tooth is missing, three teeth need to be replaced. The color of porcelain teeth can be chosen to be in good condition compared to the color of your own teeth, which is beautiful. Because there is no base for removable dentures, it is also more comfortable. The disadvantage is that your other teeth will also be damaged.

2. Then there are removable dentures, which do not require damaging adjacent teeth, which is an advantage. However, because of the base, the comfort level is not very high. Some people who are particularly sensitive may feel that the base is a foreign body and may not be used to it.

3. Another type is dental implants. The advantage is that it does not damage adjacent teeth and has the comfort of general porcelain teeth. The disadvantage is that the cost is relatively high.

4. It is best for patients to slowly adapt to the hardness of food over a period of time after having their teeth fixed, from soft to hard, allowing the teeth to slowly bite together, and intentionally using the newly-fitted teeth will also facilitate adjustments during follow-up examinations.

5. It is recommended that patients bite food in the following order: noodles, steamed buns, less hard fruits such as peaches, apples, sugar cane, and nuts.

6. Because in the first three months after having teeth fixed, the bone absorption rate of the teeth is faster than that of other teeth. The teeth need to put a certain amount of pressure on the bones to slow down the absorption. If you only eat soft food every day, it will be detrimental to the recovery of the teeth.

The above introduces some advantages and disadvantages of dentures, as well as some things you should pay attention to after having them installed. In fact, no matter what material the dentures are made of, they are not as good as natural teeth. So at this time, we need to protect our teeth well when we are young. It is best to have an oral health check once a year, and remember to rinse your mouth before and after meals.
