"Dental inlay" is like a mobile board house.
Someone may have experienced that when you were talking and laughing with an old man, the old man suddenly took out two rows of dentures from his mouth. Did you get scared on the spot? In fact, this is only a "removable denture" in dentures, and the "filling teeth" to be said later actually belongs to dentures. It is only because of the progress of related technology that it is gradually separated into independent skills.
Movable dentures are rarely seen in a single one, but mostly in multiple rows or rows. The teeth are closely arranged, beautiful in appearance, convenient to take off and wear, simple to clean and cheap. Some elderly people with most or all missing teeth have more choices. Young people, on the other hand, protect and repair their teeth in time, and often "insert" one if one is missing. However, because of the poor masticatory power of removable dentures, they hardly choose, and with the passage of time, removable dentures will gradually disappear.
Filling a tooth is like repairing a house.
Why this metaphor? Repairing a house can be divided into major repairs and minor repairs, and filling teeth can also be divided into minor repairs and major repairs. Regardless of the size, there is a premise that the "foundation" of the house or tooth is intact, and the restoration process must rely on the original foundation. Partial tooth loss caused by dental caries or tooth fracture can often be repaired to a certain extent, and the second crown loss belongs to major repair.
Full crown restoration is to place a denture crown on the original root and fix it with normal teeth on both sides. At present, the technology of "tooth filling" is relatively mature, and the materials used are composite resin, ceramics and composite metal. Although the price varies greatly, there are still many cost-effective options. The restored teeth are actually chewed in addition to their beautiful appearance. So filling teeth is the most popular way at present.
"Planting teeth" is like repairing a luxury villa.
Dental implant is the most advanced dental restoration method at present. No matter what material is used, its essence is the same. Dental implants need to pull out the root and replant a metal root, such as a commonly used titanium alloy root, which is just like treating the foundation firmly before building a villa. Then fix a denture crown on the metal root, just like building a villa.
Dental implants are composed of root and crown. The materials used in each part are different, and the price difference is generally not big. A tooth ranges from thousands to thousands. Who called this villa renovation? Dental implants are bionic teeth, which is very different from the above two situations. A single tooth exists independently, is not affected by the teeth on both sides, has a longer life span and is more powerful to chew, and is the first choice for many "not bad money".
At present, dental implants belong to the category of beauty, and the expenses cannot be reimbursed by medical treatment. Understandably, just as the state subsidizes the renovation of dilapidated houses for the poor, there is no subsidy for the rich to repair villas!
It should be noted that no matter which method is adopted, there are certain risks, which are related to different individual factors. Dentures also need daily health care like real teeth, such as brushing your teeth in the morning and evening and cleaning your mouth. And it takes a long time to review after wearing dentures, at least once a year. If there is a problem, we should not let them delay, but deal with it in time.
