Removable dentures

Oral health is something we should take care of every day, because if we do not follow the rules of hygiene or treat any pathology that may arise in time, there is a risk of suffering serious consequences. Some of the worst is tooth loss and gum recession. With regard to tooth loss, the question arises whether dentures can be inserted and how best to do so.

Removable prostheses have certain advantages over other methods of dental rehabilitation in Kiev and in Ukraine as a whole.

1. They will serve for a long time if you take care of them properly.
2. Adapted to each patient, because fully personalized.
3. It is a cheaper and less invasive option than other alternatives.
4. This is the best option for patients with health problems who cannot undergo more invasive treatment.
5. Restore chewing and pronunciation.
6. At the psychological level, they raise the level of self-esteem through the rehabilitation of the aesthetics of the oral cavity.

They also have some flaws that should be known before deciding to install them.

1. Because they are removable, the fixation is not as perfect as with non-removable prostheses.
2. Some bite force is lost.
3. They serve long, but wear out.
4. Require high hygiene.
5. In some cases may cause gums irritation.

In the clinic “Crystal Dent” individually manufactured and installed removable prostheses for upper jaw and lower. By contacting the specialists you can not worry about quality and unpleasant sensations.

Removable dentures are used in case of tooth loss, to restore the bite and aesthetic appearance of the smile. In dentistry, they are shown to patients who cannot be implanted due to medical problems, lack of bone, inability to survive the operation, or simply those people who fear to undergo such invasive treatment as implant placement.

The first contraindication to the installation will be unrealistic expectations on the part of the patient. For this reason, a serious study should be carried out and the patient informed about all the problems of his case. Before the installation of the oral cavity must be healthy, that is, without plaque and dental stone, without infectious sites, with healthy mucous membranes, otherwise these problems are eliminated first, and then prostheses are installed. Patients with severe systemic diseases, with significant mental disorders (due to the additional complexity of hygienic care), removable dentures are not installed.

Removable partial or full dentures require proper care to keep them clean and spotless and comfortable. To properly care for dentures, remember the following:

1. Remove and rinse after eating. Wash the dentures with water to remove any food residue.
2. Handle the prostheses carefully. When cleaning try not to bend and damage the plastic.
3. Clean your mouth after removal. Use a soft bristle toothbrush to clean natural teeth, tongue, cheeks and the sky.
4. Clean your dentures at least once a day. Remove the dentures daily and clean them thoroughly. Wet them and clean with a soft bristle brush, using a soft or abrasive medium. This helps remove food residue, tooth plaque and other debris. If you are using denture glue, clean the surfaces adjacent to the gums to remove any adhesive residue.
5. Keep the removable dentures in a special container if you do not use them at night.
6. As a rule, you should stay away from:

Abrasive cleaners

Do not use harsh bristle brushes, aggressive cleaners or aggressive toothpastes as they are too abrasive and can damage dentures.

Whitening toothpaste

This type of toothpaste often contains peroxide, which has little effect on the color change of prosthetic teeth.

Bleach Products

Do not use whitening products as they can weaken the dentures and change their color. Do not immerse dentures in chlorine-containing solutions. These solutions wear out the structural elements.

Today, removable dentures for the jaw are especially popular.

There are three main categories of removable jaw dentures:

• Partially removable. These can be installed when several healthy teeth are still present. They are fixed using attachments or clasps.
• Conditionally removable. This is an excellent option when a prosthesis is needed for only one tooth. It can be removed in the dental chair but not independently. Fixation is carried out with cement or screws.
• Fully removable. These can be easily placed and removed independently. They are fixed using adhesive, clasps, or suction.

The undeniable advantages of modern removable dentures include:

• High precision in manufacturing the prosthesis according to the jaw and quick installation;
• The use of flexible, durable, wear-resistant, and hypoallergenic materials (for example, nylon);
• Excellent value for money;
• Versatility of application: from partial to complete edentulism.

Currently, nylon and clasp (bügel) dentures are the most in demand.

If it is necessary to install fixed dental prostheses in Kyiv, the choice will depend on the specific problem and may include the following options:

• Veneers. Designed to correct the shape, color, and position of teeth. Most often used in aesthetic dentistry.
• Inlays (microprostheses). Allow the chewing surface to be restored if the tooth damage does not exceed 50%. They are very durable and significantly reduce the risk of recurrent caries.
• Crowns. Installed when tooth damage exceeds 50%. Designed to fully restore aesthetic appearance and chewing function. They can be placed on implants. Additional tooth preparation or inlays may be required.
• Bridges. Used when one to four teeth are missing or severely damaged. This is an orthopedic structure consisting of several connected artificial teeth, with crowns at the edges placed on supporting healthy teeth or implants. They can be fabricated in a dental laboratory or modeled directly in the oral cavity.

Prosthetics has truly become affordable. Installing a full jaw prosthesis is not as expensive as it used to be — especially considering the ability to chew and smile confidently again.

Installation of prostheses at the Crystal Dent dental clinic in Kyiv is performed not only at reasonable prices but also with high quality, using modern equipment, advanced materials, and the latest techniques.
