There are many kinds of dental implants, and there are three commonly used restorations: removable denture, fixed denture and dental implants. These three methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. The following are introduced respectively, and the appropriate dental implant method can be selected according to the actual situation.
Removable denture: a denture that patients can take off by themselves, which is suitable for most teeth missing and few remaining teeth. The advantage is that patients can take them off to clean the remaining teeth, but there are also many inconveniences such as low chewing efficiency and the need for patients to take them off after meals.
Fixed Denture: Using healthy teeth on both sides of missing teeth as support, the denture is fixed in the mouth, which is suitable for a few missing teeth, intermittent missing teeth and good health of the remaining teeth. The advantages of fixed denture are high chewing efficiency, comfortable wearing, little foreign body sensation and no need to take it off. The disadvantage is that before the full crown restoration, the healthy teeth on both sides of the missing teeth should be polished to remove some tooth tissue.
Implant denture: a new technology that has developed rapidly in recent years. The method is to implant an implant in alveolar bone. After about half a year, the implant will be cemented with the alveolar bone, and then the teeth will be implanted on the implant. However, dental implants require patients' health, and alveolar bone has a certain height and width. Dental implants are comfortable and beautiful to use, and do not damage adjacent teeth, but they are expensive.
Friends who need dental implants can choose the appropriate method according to their own economic situation, missing teeth and general health status, and refer to the doctor's advice.
