Types Of Denture Restorations
1. Fixed Denture Restoration
If the patient has a few missing teeth and the adjacent teeth on both sides of the missing tooth are stable, the patient may choose to have a fixed denture restoration. Fixed dentures use the natural teeth on both sides of the missing teeth as abutments, and connect the dentures and the abutments into a whole through a connector so that the completed dentures can provide patients with similar aesthetics, comfort and chewing experience to real teeth.
2. Removable Partial Denture Restoration
Removable partial dentures are dentures that patients can wear by themselves. They use the adjacent teeth or other remaining teeth in the edentulous area as support and use the clasp (ie metal hook) on the denture to keep the denture in the patient's mouth. , the patient can wear it at any time according to their own needs. The advantages of removable partial dentures are that they are cheap and have a wide range of adaptations, but their chewing efficiency and aesthetics are relatively weak.
3. Complete Denture Restoration
Complete dentures are mainly suitable for patients with all missing teeth, consisting of a base and artificial teeth. Complete dentures rely on the close combination of the denture base and the gums to attach the dentures to the upper and lower alveolar ridges to restore the patient's missing teeth and alveolar bone shape. Complete dentures are mucosa-supported dentures that are less efficient in chewing.
There are two main types of dentures: complete dentures and partial dentures. Depending on whether your teeth need full or partial replacements and the cost involved, your dentist can help you choose the type of denture that is best for you.
