Best dentures and crowns: dentist’s advice
Missing teeth is not only an aesthetic flaw. If dentures are not put on time, then in the future there will be problems with speech, bite and digestion. Not always, in the absence of teeth, a person decides on implantation, removable dentures will come to the rescue.
Modern dentures are made of high quality materials
The best dentures with no teeth at all
Removable dentures are removed only for cleaning or at bedtime. This is a popular type of prosthetics among the elderly.
Outdated metal prostheses were replaced by new removable structures:
nylon and silicone products… Made from transparent, flexible material. The design is thin and easy to use, but it cannot be repaired. Suitable for people with an allergic reaction to plastic;
lamellar prostheses. Made of medical grade plastic, there is a silicone insert between the gum and the product, which allows you to evenly distribute the load when chewing. Service life – from two to five years;
polypropylene prostheses. They do not move during wear, as they fit very tightly to the palate;
polyurethane prostheses. Strong and durable designs, very affordable.
These types of prostheses are made with suction cups. Getting used to removable dentures takes a long time, as they interfere with eating and speaking. In the future, the chewing function is fully restored.
Dentures for defects in the dentition
If you need to make up for the absence of one or more teeth, then instead of expensive implants, dentists offer to install partially removable or conditionally removable dentures.
Partially removable products are a plate with crowns, which is fixed with hooks on adjacent teeth. Nylon and plastic designs are cheaper than clasp designs. However, the advantage of the latter is in their durability, lightness and reliable fastening, which is not visible during a conversation.
A conditionally removable design is called a “butterfly”, it is installed in the absence of one tooth.
When installing such a structure, adjacent teeth are not grinded, which is an undoubted advantage. A plastic prosthesis is made, which is attached to the gum with hooks. In some cases, the attachment can be made in the form of a suction cup.
When choosing dentures, do not rely on reviews from neighbors or acquaintances. Be sure to visit the clinic, where the doctor will examine the condition of the oral cavity and advise on reliable prostheses.
When not prostheses are needed, but dental crowns
– The choice of crowns for teeth also needs to be taken seriously. Zirconia crowns are quite expensive but have really earned their reputation. They look very natural, durable and do not cause allergies. This is ideal for abnormal abrasion and bruxism (night grinding of teeth). The listed diseases can lead to ceramic chipping. For these pathologies, a cast crown made of alloys (cobalt-chromium and nickel-chromium) can also be used. These crowns are much cheaper, but they are silver in color. If the above pathologies are not present, then a metal-ceramic crown (a frame made of an alloy with the application of a ceramic mass) can be considered in color and in anatomy looks natural.
