Removable or fixed dentures
Removable prostheses are nowadays often used as temporary prostheses until the entire treatment of dental implants, dental crowns or dental bridges is completed. Only in elderly people are they used as definitive prostheses, known as dentures, which during the day allow them to live normally despite not having teeth in their mouths and allow them to speak, eat and interact with people.
Alternatives to removable dental prostheses in patients with little dental bone
We can offer a new treatment to patients who have little bone and the removable dental prostheses do not hold properly, we place 4 mini dental implants in the maxilla and attach them to the removable prosthesis, thus the movement of the prosthesis disappears almost completely and allows you to forget about the prosthesis when eating most foods.
This removable dental prosthesis is designed by the dentist according to the physical characteristics, age and esthetic desires of each patient and is custom-made by the dental technician.
This type of prosthesis is supported by the gum, which is highly mobile and is held in place by the height of the maxillary bone and by the vacuum it makes with the gum and saliva. These characteristics mean that the dental prosthesis must adapt perfectly to the gum and to the shape of the jaws on which it rests, so that it cannot move or become detached from the gum. They also require acclimatization time for the patient to feel the teeth comfortable and to be able to use them normally.
Visit our clinics to explain your case. On the first visit we will perform a dental CT and a complete study, totally free of charge. In this way we will know the extent of the problem, your needs and we can advise you on the different types of dental implants and dental prostheses, the advantages of each one and the prices of the whole treatment.
Do not doubt our professionalism, we will inform you about the best alternatives according to your situation. Book your visit today.
Cleaning of removable dental prosthesis
The removable dental prosthesis should be cleaned after every meal. To clean it, it must be brushed to avoid the formation of calculus (tartar) and the appearance of stains caused by some foods. The parts less accessible to the brush require immersing the denture in a cleaning solution. It is not convenient to sleep with it, since the gum where it rests needs to rest from the effort made during the day.
Patients with this type of prosthesis should have an annual check-up at the dentist’s office since it is important to maintain an excellent fit, otherwise lesions could appear in the gum which, if they become chronic, could lead to oral cancer.
