Dentists will not easily tell you these advantages and disadvantages of removable dentures!

Removable dentures are generally supported by surrounding teeth and fixed by clasp. Through careful protection by users, the service life can be extended. When you wear removable dentures for the first time, you will feel foreign body sensation and need to adapt for a period of time. If the alveolar bone has bone spurs, you need to grind the bone or massage and knead it yourself.

Advantages:

Can be taken down by itself, is convenient for cleaning, and can better keep the oral cavity clean;

A few missing teeth can be repaired, which has strong applicability;

The requirements for surrounding teeth are not high, and there is no damage to surrounding healthy teeth.

Disadvantages:

Old people with removable dentures should go to the hospital for a follow-up visit every six months and change their teeth every 3-5 years;

After wearing dentures for a long time, it will appear: the alveolar bone absorption at the missing teeth makes the dentures not close to the mouth and easy to loosen;

Dentures wear and corrode normally, and the metal clasp will be deformed, which will lead to mastication weakness and periodontal tissue damage.
