Is the traditional complete denture good?

There are three kinds of commonly used restorations: removable denture, fixed denture and dental implant. The three methods have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the elderly can choose the appropriate dental implant method 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: With the support of healthy teeth on both sides of missing teeth, the denture is fixed in the mouth, which is suitable for a few cases of 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 the healthy teeth on both sides of the missing tooth should be ground off and then restored with full crown.

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 to be healthy and healthy, and the 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.
