Dentures

Unlike the classic “bridges”, prosthetics using an adhesive bridge can eliminate a dentition defect without turning the teeth and without removing nerves from them. To put it simply, an artificial tooth simply adheres to the neighboring ones, thereby restoring the necessary aesthetics and, to a certain extent, functionality (the ability to bite for front teeth and chew for masticators). However, such designs also have serious drawbacks, which are useful to know in advance ...

There is still a misconception among the people that it is not necessary to brush removable dentures with a toothbrush and toothpaste - they are artificial, which means they do not “rot” like native teeth. For this reason, a large number of people go to the dentist because of serious problems caused by microbial plaque and even dental calculus on the prosthesis. Let's see how you still need to properly care for a removable denture so that it lasts as long as possible, always looks aesthetically pleasing and does not depress the health of the oral cavity and the body as a whole ...

With the loss of several teeth, one of the most popular prosthetics options is the use of a partial denture. In such a situation, an unprepared person is always faced with the problem of choice: there are many different types of removable prostheses, but it is not immediately clear which option is better, are there any hidden problem points that may occur when wearing such a prosthesis. And, most importantly, is it possible to live normally with one or another type of removable denture (talking, eating, sleeping and smiling, without fear that everyone will see a “false jaw”). Next, we will see what types of removable dentures exist today and how to choose the best option for your situation among them ...

What options for prosthetics are possible when teeth are completely missing on one or both jaws? This question can catch a person by surprise at almost any age - both relatively young (due to injuries or serious illnesses), and in the elderly (for example, in connection with progressive periodontitis and tooth loss against his background). Fortunately, even with a complete absence of teeth in the oral cavity, today you can not only get the ability to chew food normally, but also restore the former beauty of a smile - how this is achieved will be discussed later ...

After tooth extraction, few people want to walk for several weeks (or even months) with a gap in the dentition, especially when it comes to the smile zone. It is in this case that the so-called butterfly prosthesis can come to the rescue, allowing you to restore the beauty of the smile and the ability to chew food as soon as possible. Moreover, if we neglect the temporary implant prosthesis, then there are serious risks not only for the future permanent prosthetics, but also for health in general. Why is the butterfly prosthesis so useful, what problems it can save and, most importantly, how much it costs today - we’ll talk about these and some other interesting nuances ...

The use of removable dentures made of acrylic plastic, despite a number of significant drawbacks of these designs, is still one of the most popular (and inexpensive) types of prosthetics in Russia.And indeed, who wants to lay out several hundred thousand rubles for installing expensive implants, when literally for 10-20 thousand rubles you can get a pretty smile and get the opportunity to chew food again normally. Well, acrylic dentures are really not without a number of advantages in terms of dental prosthetics, but they also have many significant disadvantages, which are useful to know in advance ...

If you are going to prosthetics your teeth on the upper jaw and look at different types of prostheses, you probably already noticed that many of them resemble a kind of “false jaw” - many grandparents wear such prostheses today (unfortunately, for lack of finance for more advanced prosthetics options). So, you should not confuse the clasp prosthesis with the “false jaw”, since the clasp, although it is a removable structure, is already a premium prosthesis and can very effectively restore both the chewing function and the beauty of the patient’s smile (aesthetics). We will talk more about the nuances of clasp prosthetics on the upper jaw and whether it is right for you.
