Therefore, many people are always afraid to choose after they have problems with their teeth. Let’s find out whether fixed dentures are really good.

Are fixed dentures really good?

Advantages of fixed dentures: good support, retention and stability functions, similar volume to original natural teeth, easy to get used to, comfortable feeling, no obvious foreign body sensation, little hindrance to tongue functional activities, no impact on pronunciation, and beautiful appearance. Especially when choosing porcelain teeth, it is possible to achieve a level of realism that is so realistic that the fake ones are indistinguishable from the real ones.

(1) Good retention: The fixed bridge is bonded to the abutment teeth through the retainer, with strong retention force. When chewing, the denture is stable and does not shift.

(2) Good supporting effect: Almost all the force borne by the fixed bridge is borne by the abutment teeth and the periodontal supporting tissues underneath, and the supporting force is strong. Even when the bridge is designed to contact the alveolar ridge in the edentulous area, the alveolar ridge only bears a very small force, so the supporting effect is good.

(3) Good stabilization: The fixed bridge is bonded to the abutment tooth through the retainer. The restoration and the abutment tooth form a new functional whole with a strong ability to resist lateral displacement, so the restoration has a good stabilization effect.

(4) The volume of the fixed bridge is similar to that of the original natural tooth, and the edges fit closely together. The patient feels comfortable without any obvious foreign body sensation and is easy to adapt to.

(5) The fixed bridge has little effect on the functional activities of the tongue and does not affect the patient's pronunciation function.

(6) All-ceramic or metal-ceramic fixed bridges made of ceramic materials are beautiful and their color is close to that of natural teeth.

(7) The fixed bridge does not require patients to take it off and put it on, making it easy to use.

The above is an introduction to whether fixed dentures are really good. After understanding it, we know that the quality of fixed dentures should be selected according to personal oral conditions. In addition, in order to avoid dental problems, we must pay attention to ensuring good oral hygiene, and we should not frequently alternate between hot and cold foods in our diet.
