It is common to have doubts when deciding between a dental prosthesis fixed and a removable. This usually happens when we compare the low price of a removable prosthesis, compared to a stationary one.
However, beyond the cost, we recommend that you take into account the advantages that you can have the fixed prosthesiscompared with the removable. and, if the final decision is geared to the cost, keep in mind that in the long term will be a better investment having a fixed prosthesis.
The useful life time of a removable dental prosthesis is much less than that of a fixed. Removable dentures tend to staining, breaking and broken loose very easily.
An removable dental prosthesis you can take on and off when you want, and your support is the mucosa of the maxilla and the teeth that you have. For this reason moves or falls out easily, because they do not have a firm support.
On the contrary, a fixed prosthesis supported with dental implants to the boneby avoiding unwanted movements when you speak, eat or smile.
When you lose teeth, a gap remains in the bone of the maxilla that may suffer bone loss. This happens because the bone in that area no longer meets the function of supporting the root, and begins to deteriorate.
When used dental implants, the bone continues to perform its function of supportlike when you had the root of the tooth. In this way, it does not occur reabsorption. But, in the case of a removable prosthesis, the bone is lost with time, the prosthesis will tend to be adversely affected by the reabsorption and, with the passage of time, it may be necessary to perform bone grafts.
In addition, the removable prosthesis also can result in the loss of healthy teeth. This may occur because in order to sustain itself better also uses the remaining teeth.
However, there are also a removable prosthesis that can use dental implants to be attached and may be a better option, to prevent bone loss. This type of removable prosthesis is referred to as implantoretenidas.
The cleaning of a fixed prosthesis is similar to that of natural teeth. On the contrary, a removable prosthesis requires a lot more care and must be removed to make cleaning.
When you eat a fixed prosthesis also works in a similar way to the teeth but, a removable denture usually has movement. These movements make it to accumulate easily remains of food and generation of bad breath. It is necessary to remove it to perform the hygiene after every meal.
In addition, it is necessary to remove the removable prosthesis before you sleep, for safety and for that of the mucosa can rest of the force, and the friction generated by the prosthesis.
If we analyze all the variables that we mentioned before, we can say that it is better a fixed prosthesis in front of a removable. The fixed prosthesis with dental implants may have a difference of higher price but they have great advantages both aesthetic and functional.
Fixed dental prosthetics can last for many more years, don't wear out or are damaged, they prevent the bone loss and the loss of healthy teeth. In addition, they are very comfortable and highly aesthetic: work and are similar to the natural teeth.
