Many patients with missing teeth are vague about the types of dentures and don't know what kind of dentures to use. According to keen oral experts, there are many types of dentures. Each patient should choose the appropriate types of dentures according to their dental health, economic situation and oral hygiene, so as to achieve the ideal effect.

What are the common dentures?

1. Fixed denture: it is a prosthesis to repair one or more missing teeth in the dentition. It is connected with the abutment or implant prepared on both sides of the missing tooth by adhesive or fixing device, so as to restore the physiological function of the missing tooth. Because this kind of prosthesis can not be taken and worn by patients themselves, it is called fixed denture for short.

2. Removable denture: removable denture is a kind of prosthesis that uses the remaining natural teeth or mucous membrane as support and is fixed on the remaining natural teeth through snap ring. At the same time, it uses the base to keep the denture in an appropriate position and exercise the chewing function. It can be removed and worn by itself. It can be used for missing single teeth, multiple teeth or complete teeth.

3. Implant restoration: it is a denture supported by surgical implantation of artificial roots. It requires patients with missing teeth to have a good general condition, thick alveolar bone and good cementum. Compared with fixed and movable teeth, it does not damage adjacent teeth. It is comfortable, natural, beautiful and durable after wearing. It is deeply loved by the majority of missing teeth.

Advantages of implant technology for repairing missing teeth in Pujing oral clinic:

First, implant teeth can give full play to the chewing power of your teeth, just like your third pair of teeth. Choosing implant teeth can avoid tossing teeth back and forth, and the service life of implant teeth is basically long.

Second, the planted root will not stimulate gingival atrophy and effectively protect your gums. We all know that it is a pity to wear healthy teeth on both sides when choosing the traditional method of dental inlay. Moreover, once the teeth are worn, the teeth will become sensitive and their service life will be affected.

Third, one implant is missing and one implant is planted. It will not damage other teeth, but also protect adjacent teeth.
