Is it better to have fixed dentures or removable dentures?

In our daily life, many people are prone to dental problems due to their unscrupulous eating habits. Dental diseases always make us unable to sleep and eat, which is a very painful thing. Sometimes we have to wear dentures after teeth extraction to ensure our normal diet. Fixed dentures and removable dentures are the two most common types in our lives. They have their own advantages and disadvantages, but you must understand them before making a choice. Let's find out whether fixed dentures or removable dentures are better.

Are fixed dentures better or removable dentures?

1. Scope of application: Due to the special structure of fixed dentures, their scope of application is relatively small. They are generally suitable for oral restoration in adults with less than three missing teeth. However, removable dentures have a very wide range of applications, ranging from single to full tooth loss.

2. Chewing performance and aesthetics: The chewing performance and aesthetics of fixed dentures are better than those of removable dentures. Since fixed dentures cannot be removed and put on by oneself and have good retention effects, they have great advantages in chewing function and it is not easy to tell that one is wearing dentures from the appearance. On the contrary, removable dentures are inferior to fixed dentures in chewing performance and aesthetics due to their own characteristics.

3. Fixation effect: Due to structural factors, fixed dentures have better retention effect than removable dentures. Fixed dentures are placed entirely in the mouth, have a very good retention effect, are stable and not easy to fall off; whereas removable dentures are not well retained because they can be put on and taken off by oneself.

4. Protection of abutment teeth: Removable dentures provide greater protection to abutment teeth, without the need to grind off a large amount of adjacent tooth tissue; they are placed directly in the mouth and cause little harm to the teeth; fixed dentures, due to the special structure, require the grinding off of a certain amount of adjacent tooth tissue, which may have a certain impact on the adjacent teeth.

None. Price: Since removable dentures are easy to make, their price is low; fixed dentures are difficult to repair and have high requirements on equipment and physician's technical level, so fixed dentures are more expensive.

Now I believe you have a certain understanding of the differences between fixed dentures and removable dentures. In fact, fixed dentures and removable dentures each have their own advantages. You should make a reasonable choice based on your own situation. Only the one that suits you is good. No matter you choose fixed dentures or removable dentures, you must go to a professional hospital so that the restoration effect can be guaranteed.

The above is an introduction to whether fixed dentures or removable dentures are better. After understanding, we know that the two types of dentures have their own advantages and disadvantages. We cannot choose the type of dentures just for the sake of aesthetics. In addition, in our daily lives, we must take better care of our teeth, ensure good oral hygiene and eat less sweet foods.
