There are several options to restore the smile and the functionality of the mouth, by losing all or most of your teeth. Among them we find the dentures supported on dental implants, removable dentures and dental bridges.
If there is a total absence of teeth it is a much more solution durable and fixed, with which it is possible to talk, smile and eat without risk of movement. The implant is fixed to the jawbone, as does the root of a natural tooth, providing the same support to the prosthesis.
With dental implants it is possible to replace a single tooth or all the teeth, without having to cut or wear away the natural teeth still found in the mouth, unlike options such as dental bridges.
When you have lost most of your teeth, there are several options prosthesis, implant-supported as:
This type of prosthesis it is not fixed, As the name implies, can be removed from the mouth. It can be complete or partial, depending on the number of teeth that have been lost.
There are removable skeletal prostheses, which use metal hooks to attach to your natural teeth. Or they can be acrylic, rigid or flexible.
If you have lost all your teeth, you would have to wear a full denture.
This type of prosthesis is supported only by your mucosa, which is reabsorbed with the bone and, for this reason, it moves easily when eating and speaking.
In Premium Implant Network we recommend placing dental implants to retain prostheses and improve your quality of life.
A dental bridge is a fixed prosthesis supported on natural teeth. To fix this type of prosthesis, se requires wear of natural teeth, which will function as pillars.
Its advantage can be said to be its cost, but its great disadvantage is that natural teeth are used, which are still healthy.
In order not to wear down these teeth, the ideal is to use dental implants. Also, if you are missing several teeth, a dental bridge can be made on implants, without affecting the continuous teeth.
All the options are valid and each one has its advantages. Knowing which is the best option will depend on several factors, including: how many teeth have been lost, the health of the bone and the patient, and even financial capacity.
