Which type of dentures is better?

Teeth are an indispensable part of the human body. They can assist the human body in pronunciation, chewing food, protecting the oral cavity, etc. However, due to some special circumstances, people may experience tooth loss. When faced with tooth loss, people generally choose to install dentures. There are many types of dentures, such as porcelain teeth, metal teeth, alloy teeth, etc. So which type of denture is better? Let's introduce it in detail below.

Everyone's dental condition is different, so the specific condition depends on your dental condition. There are many types of porcelain teeth in clinical practice, including metal, alloy, and all-ceramic. Patients can choose according to their own situation. The prices range from more than 900 to 6,000 or 7,000. However, it is not recommended to choose an informal dental hospital or dental medical institution, because the materials of porcelain teeth will not be less than 900. Therefore, I hope that patients and friends will not be greedy for cheapness. The quality of cheap porcelain teeth cannot be guaranteed.

Dentures are generally best placed about 3 months after tooth extraction or tooth loss. Generally, there are two types of dentures: removable dentures and fixed dentures. Which type of denture is best depends on the age of the person wearing it, the number of missing teeth, the location of the missing teeth, and the oral condition.

The color of removable dentures is similar to that of natural teeth, with exquisite appearance. They can be removed and cleaned at any time to reduce bad breath. There are fewer teeth when dentures are installed, so it is suitable for repairing front teeth and most missing teeth. The disadvantage is that there is a foreign body sensation when first worn, and the more teeth are restored, the larger the tray. It will affect pronunciation when you first wear it, and the effect of chewing food is not as good as fixed dentures.

Fixed dentures are strong, durable, and have good chewing effects, but they cannot be removed freely. Its size is similar to that of a missing tooth, it is easy to get used to and there is no foreign body sensation. Because the material used for fixed dentures is metal crowns, it causes more tooth grinding and affects the appearance of teeth. It is generally used to repair back teeth. In addition, fixed dentures have higher requirements for abutment teeth. If the abutment teeth are loose or the roots are exposed, it is not suitable to wear this type of denture.

Denture implant is a new technology that has high requirements on the design and production of restorations. It is to make implants out of artificial materials, which are then implanted into the skull of the toothless area through surgery, and then various restorations are made on the implant pins in the alveolar mucosa. Dental implants are made by driving metal roots into the tooth bone. After the metal roots are tightly integrated with the alveolar bone, dentures are placed on them.
