Active denture: the patient can take off and wear the denture, suitable for the whole mouth most of the missing teeth, the remaining teeth, the advantage is that the patient can take off and clean, the remaining teeth less burden, but there is also a lower chewing efficiency, the patient needs to be taken off after meals to clean and many other inconveniences.

Fixed denture: Using the healthy teeth on both sides of the missing teeth as support, the denture is fixed in the oral cavity, suitable for a few missing teeth, intermittent missing teeth, the remaining teeth in good health. Advantage is that the fixed denture chewing efficiency is high, patients wear comfortable, foreign body feeling is small, do not need to take off the wear, the disadvantage is the restoration of the missing teeth on both sides of the healthy teeth to grind away part of the dental tissue after the full crown restoration.

Implant denture: In recent years, the development of faster and newer technology, the method is implanted in the alveolar bone implants, about half a year after the implant and the alveolar bone to form a combination of bone, and then in the implant on the teeth, but the dental implants require that the patient's general health and well-being, alveolar bone has a certain height and width. Dental implants are comfortable and beautiful, do not damage neighboring teeth, but the price is more expensive.
