What kind of dentures are good

It is a very painful thing to watch many delicious foods being unable to be eaten, especially when teeth fall out and are damaged, which will seriously affect our quality of life. Often when there are problems with teeth, many people always choose to install dentures to restore the chewing ability of the teeth. However, many people always don’t know what kind of dentures will have a longer service life after suffering from tooth pain. Let’s learn about what kind of dentures are better.

What kind of dentures are good?

What kind of dentures are better to install? Comparison of denture methods

(1) Removable dentures: Removable dentures use the remaining natural teeth or mucosa as support and are fixed to the remaining natural teeth by clasps. At the same time, the base is used to keep the denture in the proper position to perform the chewing function. It is a kind of restoration that can be removed and put on by oneself. It can be used for missing a single tooth, multiple teeth, or all teeth in the mouth.

The advantages are that it has a wide range of applications, causes less grinding or damage to the tooth tissue of the remaining teeth, is beneficial to oral hygiene, and is relatively inexpensive.

The disadvantages are that the base is large in size, has a strong foreign body sensation, sometimes affects pronunciation, has exposed metal clasps, affects the appearance, and may feel uncomfortable when first worn, and has poor chewing function.

(2) Fixed dentures: Patients do not need to remove or put on fixed dentures by themselves. Fixed bridges are small in size, do not exceed the range of the dentition, do not affect pronunciation, are comfortable and convenient, and the way the chewing pressure received by fixed bridges is transmitted is similar to that of real teeth. Sometimes, you cannot even feel that you have dentures in your mouth, and the chewing function is also better. The porcelain crowns and bridges currently used look exactly like natural teeth and are also more beautiful. It can be said to be the most ideal restoration method.

The biggest disadvantage of fixed dentures is that they require cutting more tooth tissue. For example, if you are missing a tooth, you need to cut one or both sides of the real teeth into a certain shape before you can do porcelain veneer. In addition, since porcelain crowns and bridges are bonded to real teeth and cannot be removed and put on by oneself, oral hygiene is poor and bad breath is easily produced in the mouth.

(3) Artificial dental implants: Artificial dental implants are not real natural teeth. Instead, they are made through medical methods. Pure titanium metal with high compatibility with human bone is precisely designed and manufactured into a cylinder or other shape similar to a tooth root. It is then implanted into the alveolar bone of the edentulous area through a minor surgical operation. After 1 to 3 months, when the artificial root is tightly integrated with the alveolar bone, a porcelain crown is made on the artificial root. Because they are non-destructive, dental implants have been recognized by the oral medicine community as the preferred method of restoring missing teeth. Dental implants are artificial teeth that are deeply implanted in the dental bone and can withstand normal chewing forces. They are almost the same as natural teeth in function and appearance. Therefore, they are called the third set of teeth for humans.

Everyone has different values. Many people always think that expensive things are good. The above is an introduction to what kind of dentures are good. After understanding, we know that in general, dentures should not be chosen based on price. You must choose the one that suits you. However, if financial conditions permit, it is best to choose dental implants.
