Why can't people keep their mouth intact natural form? There are many reasons. It is also unfavorable environment, hereditary factors, stress, as well as improper hygiene. People permanently lose their teeth and therefore most patients face the question of prosthetics. And here the following dilemmas arise: how to choose the best dentures, how much they will cost, which doctor to go to for treatment. It is necessary to understand that from what was done once the right choice dentures depend on beauty (aesthetics), health oral cavity and pleasantness in communication. Let's try to figure this out.
A denture is a special dental construction that can completely replace natural teeth. The absence of teeth has not yet turned out to be beautiful. You should not be afraid of understanding "prosthesis" itself. After all, it is he who returns the appearance to its original appearance, making it attractive again. In addition, dentures allow you to make your mouth more perfect (if you compare what it was before).
From a physiological point of view, dentures completely restore the anatomy, physiology and aesthetics of the oral cavity. If artificial structures were made correctly, they will not cause discomfort to the patient, and he will soon be able to perceive them as his real teeth.
Dental prosthetics are done both in their complete absence and in partial. The process of treatment itself takes place in several stages. It begins with the preparation, during which the teeth are treated, re-filled, tartar and accumulated plaque are removed. After the healing procedure, a dentoalveolar impression is made. The dentures themselves are made from the impression. When the design is ready, it is tried on to the patient. If everything goes well, the artificial prosthesis is fixed.
The best dentures
In dentistry, there are several types of dentures. First, they can be removable or non-removable. The name itself already speaks about the peculiarities of their functioning.
They are securely fixed and worn constantly. They are usually used in the absence of a significant number of teeth or all of them.
You can shoot. They can be removed from the oral cavity not only by the dentist, but also by the patient himself.
Fixed dentures are a permanent construction that only a doctor can remove. The main reasons for replacing dentures are: their breakage, wear and tear, or an inflammatory process that has begun under the installed devices.
If we compare their cost, then non-removable devices are more expensive. This is due to the quality of the material used. Indeed, their durability directly depends on it.
The doctor will help you decide on the best prosthetics option. It builds on visible problem in the oral cavity, the advantages, disadvantages and features of orthodontic structures.
Advantages of prostheses and their disadvantages
First, let's take a look at fixed prosthetics. Its advantages:
- Reliable fixation in the oral cavity.
- Full gum adhesion.
- Installation is carried out by a specialist using high quality equipment.
- Durability.
- They are more comfortable than removable ones.
- Care like natural teeth.
- Aesthetics.
Disadvantages of fixed dentures:
- Not suitable for use in the absence of a large number teeth.
- Difficulty in installation.
Let's analyze removable prosthetics. Their advantages:
- Complete versatility. Dentures can be put on and taken off on their own at any time and time of the day.
- Aesthetic look.
- Affordable price.
Disadvantages of removable devices:
- A removable denture can fail.
- Incomplete adherence in the oral cavity.
- People with such a design should not eat too solid food.
- Strong wear with constant wear, which over time leads to deformation of the structure.
- Need more careful care. They need to be cleaned after every meal.
The last word when choosing prostheses will always remain with the patient. He must do this on the basis of the professional advice received from the dentist, financial capabilities and his future convenience in subsequent use.
Types and features of fixed prosthetics
Fixed prostheses are subdivided into:
- Implants.
- Veneers.
- Bridges.
- Tabs.
Crowns
Installation of crowns is considered the most in a simple way prosthetics. They allow you to restore the natural shape of the tooth, if it is completely destroyed, but the root remains. Crowns can be presented as products made of metal, ceramics, metal-plastic and cermets. Ceramic materials are preferred by dentists as they have proven to be durable. Patients also agree to this option, since ceramic and metal-ceramic teeth are as similar as possible to natural ones. A fully ceramic crown is more expensive than a metal-ceramic crown.
Metal crowns
Metal crowns are considered the most inexpensive. Their installation does not require strong grinding of the teeth. However, these designs have not very good aesthetics and service life (about 5 years).
Sintered metal
PFM crowns have low thermal conductivity and good strength. They are able to withstand heavy loads when chewing food, therefore they serve patients for about 15 years. However, the thickness of its frame is quite large, so a large amount of dental tissue has to be removed during installation. In addition, the presence of a metal base distinguishes these crowns from natural teeth in color.
Ceramic
People love ceramic crowns for their special color presentation. They emit a pleasant natural shine, reminiscent of the color of living healthy teeth. In addition, such crowns have a thin framework, so when they are installed, a minimum amount of tissue is removed from the tooth. However, ceramics is a fragile material, so the cost of ceramic crowns is much higher than other types described.
Metal-plastic crowns
Metal-plastic crowns are made of a special alloy that combines very well with living tissue. The plastic is selected according to the color close to the teeth of the patients. Crowns made of metal-plastic have a low cost, are very quick to manufacture and are easy to fit. They are often used to create bridges. However, products made from such material have insufficient strength.
The patient is offered a sufficient choice of crowns depending on the material. To accept correct solution you need to know some points:
- If there is a need to install a crown on the front teeth, that is, in the visible area, it is best to use whole ceramics or cermets. They will make your mouth very aesthetically pleasing.
- For patients with high sensitivity, ceramic crowns are most suitable. This noble material is not rejected by soft tissues at all.
- Metal crowns are considered the most durable, but their aesthetic appearance is poor. They are not suitable for the visible part of the mouth.
- After examination and a panoramic x-ray of the jaw, the doctor will analyze all the features of the oral cavity and voiced conclusions about the most correct solution.
Tabs
Products are made from cermets and ordinary ceramics. They are often used instead of fillings when broken most of tooth. The inlays are highly resistant and aesthetically pleasing. On the one hand, these products are hard, stable and firmly set on the teeth. But on the other hand, over time, they give microscopic cracks, through which microbes penetrate to the tooth. The cost of a tab depends on its size. With some features of the carious process, the installation of tabs is impossible.
Veneers
Elements are installed when the tooth is slightly damaged and these injuries are located in the smile zone. In this case, a thin ceramic plate is applied to the tooth. Its appearance is very similar to natural teeth. If you take proper care of your teeth, then these dental devices can serve (which pleases) for a long time. At the same time, they will not change their colors due to the fact that they are resistant to food dyes.
Implants
This is one of the most modern types of prosthetics. It consists in the fact that a special artificial root is implanted into the bone, which serves as a kind of support for the future crown or prosthesis. Implants are appreciated for the restoration of chewing function, good aesthetics, obtaining a new healthy tooth without turning and completely eliminating negative consequences due to the absence of adjacent teeth.
Bridges
These are designs that immediately allow you to close 2-3 teeth. They are installed on the patient's grinded teeth. Such prosthetics in modern dentistry a rarity, as it has many significant shortcomings. So there is an urgent need to grind completely healthy teeth, remove nerves from them and thereby make the teeth dead. And this leads to the rapid destruction of these very teeth. Also, the prosthesis-bridge does not load the jaw. At the same time, the chewing load changes in a negative direction.
Bridges are installed in several options:
- Relying on your existing teeth.
- Implant-supported.
- Using an adhesive bridge construction.
From the points listed, it is clear that the bridge has excellent strength and very secure fixation. The bridge design is able to replace your own natural teeth. In the future, with their help, a person will be able to chew any solid food. The material used allows the design not to change its original color.
Bridges are appreciated for the ability to install in the absence of all teeth. Especially valuable from this point of view. It is attached with a special glue. As a result, the bridge allows a person to fully chew food and returns aesthetics to the mouth. If suddenly an artificial tooth falls out of the bridge, the doctor will restore it in one visit. This is very convenient, since the desired time savings are evident.
You don't need to get used to the bridge. It doesn't change the taste of the food at all. The shape and color of the teeth is completely similar to natural teeth, so they are made from casts.
The price run for bridges is sufficient. Their price depends on the material. But, unambiguously, these constructions cost at times cheap implants.
A kind of removable prosthetics
Removable dentures are classified. They are divided into partially removable and completely removable.
The first type allows you to restore the dentition when two or more teeth are missing. At the same time, all lost teeth can be located on one jaw, and also can be absent from different sides. When installing, it is important that there was a condition: at least a few of your teeth must be in the mouth, which will become a support for the prosthesis.
In appearance, removable devices are gum-shaped plates. Partially removable include the following structures:
Acrylic dentures
This is the most common variety. They are very lightweight. Turning is not needed here, since the fastening is carried out using hooks specially made for this purpose. The material used has no contraindications. They are suitable for any patient. These constructions are invisible to others. It is also pleasing that they have a democratic price.
Of the minuses, the following can be distinguished: a long habituation process (several weeks), during which there is increased salivation; some violation of diction and a change in taste. Have sensitive people allergic reactions may begin.
Acrylic-free dentures
The material of the dentures is acrylic resin, from which some substances that can irritate the gums have been released in advance. If we compare them with the previous type, then acrylic-free dentures distribute the chewing load evenly, they are stronger and more adherent to the gum surface. If the patient has his own teeth, the devices are attached to them with the help of adapted rubber hooks. If your teeth are missing, then suction cups are used for fastening. These special dentures are recommended for children who have lost their first teeth ahead of time.
Nylon traditional
They proved to be effective only in the restoration of a small area of a row of teeth. If the patient does not have all the teeth, then this type of prosthesis will not work for him. rarely used due to the high cost and impossibility of adjustment, which must be done every two years. Nylon prostheses are fixed to the gum with soft nylon clamps, the device of which does not require their protection with a crown. The advantages of nylon prostheses include the softness of the attachment, which does not rub the gums. They are invisible in the mouth and have good antimicrobial properties. You don't need to get used to them for a long time.
The main disadvantage of nylon prostheses is the phenomenon of incorrect load distribution. The prosthesis strongly presses on the gum, as a result, it quickly atrophies and becomes small in height. This is how the desired abutment tooth is injured.
Clasp prostheses
This is a metal frame made by casting. From above it is covered with a uniform acrylic layer. The frame has artificial teeth. It is miniaturized, therefore it takes up a small amount of space in the oral cavity. The prosthesis is completely invisible to a stranger. evenly distributes the load when chewing. You can fix it with micro locks, hooks and special telescopic crowns. Clasp devices meet almost all requirements. They can be used in many cases. With their help, you can correct common end defects and restore teeth in any area. Dentures do not require special care and long-term addiction. In addition, with constant operation, they serve for 10-15 years.
Installation of a temporary prosthesis before fixing a permanent
There are indications when it is required to deliver for a short period of time. Its design depends on the amount of work to be done.
Bridges should be temporarily installed in case of large volumes of work. This is where plastic crowns come in handy. Of course, they differ from cermet in terms of strength and aesthetics in the direction of deterioration. But they make it easy to get through preparatory stage, as well as protect against cold, hot food and other factors. When grinding, living teeth become sensitive and react vividly to even a small irritating factor.
If you need to install a prosthesis on living teeth, a removable lamellar prosthesis is suitable as a temporary construction. It can be made from acrylic or nylon. You should be aware that initially nylon prostheses were conceived as temporary. Because they are not so comfortable and do not rub the gums very much. They also take a long time to get used to. But they are inexpensive in terms of cost.

Elena, Orenburg region
My teeth have been a problem since childhood. I somehow made up my mind and went to dentistry. The doctor examined my mouth and suggested a metal bridge that would cover four teeth. It was made for several weeks. When he was ready, they called me, and I came to the reception. The dentist had about an hour. They fixed the bridge and gave me the necessary recommendations. I thought that the unnatural design would get in my way. However, this did not happen. Also scared me next moment... I always suffered from allergies to metals and was afraid that such a design would also be contraindicated for me. However, no. There was no allergy, I got used to it quickly. Outwardly, they were fine with me. Thanks to the good doctor who did everything right. He recommended the prosthesis and carried out the treatment.
Alexey, Rostov region
I'm lucky. My family has an experienced dentist. This is my father-in-law. He treats our teeth conscientiously to all of us. And no one does not allow the mouth cavity to run. His lectures reached me. Almost by force, he sat me down in the dentist's chair and began to outline the situation. I missed a lot. I caught only one moment. According to my testimony, nothing will suit me better than clasp prostheses. He dried up and a week later came to his father-in-law for treatment. It was scary. But now I'm happy with everything. These prostheses have proven to be very comfortable. They lie softly in the mouth, do not cause any discomfort and continue to please me. However, I was warned that they could be damaged. Therefore, I am careful with solid foods, I try to eat them less.
Just as often, as for treatment, dentists are asked for prosthetics. We will describe the types of dentures that exist today, which ones are better, prices and people's reviews.
Tooth loss is not only an aesthetic nuisance. From their insufficient amount in the oral cavity, the gums suffer, deforming gradually, as well as the stomach, into which incompletely chopped food gets into.
Types of dentures and their classification
Depending on the number and location of the lost teeth, the state of the remaining units, the presence of problems with the gums and many other nuances, the appropriate type of prosthesis is also chosen. And in modern dentistry there are a large number of them, and the choice is not only for the doctor, but also for the patient himself. There are general groups of prostheses, which differ from each other in the method of attachment and the possibility of removal. It:
- Removable.
- Non-removable.
- Implants.
Most of them not only restore proper functioning, but also return a person's aesthetically neat appearance.
Removable
Removable dentures are distinguished by the fact that artificial teeth are attached to a plate that can be removed and installed independently at any time convenient for a person. They are used in case of complete loss of the upper teeth or the lower row. In this case, they simply imitate the jaw as a whole, trying to repeat the natural anatomical shapes.
Depending on the material from which they are made, and the design itself, removable dentures are of the following types:
- Made from acrylic resin - creates one-piece curved plates with artificial teeth on them. It's pretty cheap and simple options imitation of the dentition, often used in case of loss a large number units. Their operation is quite simple, and the cost is affordable for many people in need of prosthetics.
- - similar in design and method of application to acrylic, but at the same time have a number of their own advantages and disadvantages. Such a disc is allowed not to be removed at night, it does not cause discomfort. But when chewing, deformation of the prosthesis is possible over time from a high load, and sometimes the gum in the region of the marginal teeth is injured.
- - the most modern and high quality, made of expensive and durable materials. They are not only comfortable and aesthetic, but also able to restore the anatomical shape of the tooth. The price of clasps is high, but their use is more reliable and durable. In addition, this method of prosthetics can be used with the loss of any number of dental units - from one to a whole series, as in the case of.
There are also conditionally removable structures, as well as prostheses with suction cups, but they are not particularly popular.
Fixed
Fixed structures help to restore lost units with artificial teeth so that the prosthesis does not have to be removed, fastened and further processed. They are installed at partial absence teeth, when you need to restore only one unit or several pieces.
The peculiarities of their manufacture are that they try to completely imitate the shape, color, and position of natural teeth so that they do not differ from healthy ones still in the oral cavity. The design options depend on the selected material and the type of prosthesis itself:
- Crowns are used to replace one or two units, trying to fully adapt to the anatomical features of the surrounding healthy teeth.
- Bridges are more complex designs. In fact, these are the same crowns, only created to restore several dental units in a row at once. Fasten bridges to adjacent teeth so as to make an aesthetically pleasing and natural shape. Such prostheses are reliable and durable. Depending on the material from which they are made, the price, and the appearance, and the duration of use will depend. So, metal-plastic bridges are installed only temporarily and they are cheaper than others. But zirconiums can last up to 15 years or even longer.
- Veneers are thin plates that are attached directly to the teeth. They are often used not to restore the integrity of the dentition, but rather to eliminate minor defects - darkening of the enamel, punctures, malocclusion, etc.
But if we talk about implants, then they can refer to both removable and non-removable prosthetics. V this case they recreate not only the tooth itself, but also its root, setting its imitation on a pin embedded in the gum. Most often, implants are used as an alternative to fixed prosthetics.

What are the best dentures to put on?
The choice of a prosthesis will depend on the condition of your teeth and oral cavity, as well as on the number of lost units. The dentist will always offer you the options that it is desirable to establish in your case. The characteristics of each option suggest in which situations it is more convenient to use one of them.
So, if all dental units on the jaw are lost, then it is better to use a solid plate in a removable version. It will be both cheaper and more convenient. In addition, these dentures are characterized by easy care, in which each tooth can be cleaned of food debris.
If we talk about the advantages and disadvantages of fixed dentures, then it is important to remember their high price, the likelihood of an allergic reaction to metals and the inability to completely eliminate food debris. Caring for such dentures is reduced to the usual cleaning of teeth and rinsing.
But it is the non-removable options that are ideal for the loss of several or even one tooth. In addition, they are as comfortable as possible, natural, do not cause discomfort in the oral cavity and rarely differ from your natural teeth. Their fixation is strong enough, and only the highest quality materials are used.

Price
Different regions and dentists, especially private ones, offer a wide range of prices. We will try on average to indicate the cost of each type of prosthesis:
- The cheapest - plastic removable structures - can cost 6,000 rubles for a whole jaw.
- The price of nylon starts at 15 thousand.
- Clasp prostheses are the most expensive and their cost depends on the specific type of attachment and material of manufacture. Therefore, the price can vary from 20 to 50 thousand rubles.
- If we talk about non-removable structures, then one metal crown will cost from 1,000 rubles to 15, and 20 thousand from ceramics.
- Prices for bridges and implants directly depend on the number of units on which it is installed. Implants cost 20,000 - 30,000 rubles on average per piece.
The material from which the prosthesis is made also plays an important role. Obviously, a bridge or an implant using pure ceramics, and even more so gold, will be much more expensive than a plastic or just a metal analogue.
Hello dear site visitors. Today we will discuss a question that is of interest to many. These are removable dentures. Over the long history of this invention, people have created many options. They were far from always made from reliable and, most importantly, safe materials.
Important nuances of the question
No matter how sad it is, "is getting younger." If earlier grandparents applied for such services, now there are many middle-aged people among the patients who apply for this. There are many reasons - poor ecology in certain regions, heredity, dietary habits, the growth of diseases that affect the condition of the teeth.
Many people who have to order such products don't even know how to wear removable dentures. Moreover, ordinary people do not know how they differ, what pluses and minuses their different types have. This article was written for these people. I decided to collect information about what kind of prostheses are, how they are convenient, in what cases they are used. And, of course, purely everyday moments associated with leaving.
Someone is afraid of the idea of a prosthesis. Someone remembers the terrible grandmother's false jaws floating in a cup (I remember that myself). The pictures are repulsive, frankly. But is everything as bad as it might seem?
According to modern experts, the devil is not so terrible. Although any, even the most expensive, prosthetics has disadvantages in comparison with implantation.

Types of removable dentures
There are various criteria by which prostheses are divided. For example - fully removable and partially removable. The first option is made from either nylon or acrylic. The second option is considered to be of better quality. If the denture inside the jaw is attached to implants, this type is called conditionally removable dentures. In order for them to stick well to the jaw, small metal implants are introduced into the bone. If the patient has at least one natural tooth, he may be recommended this option for correcting the dentition.
The next type of division is according to the material of manufacture. There are three main types - (with metal fastening), nylon and plastic.
Plastic prostheses
Acrylic plastic is used for their manufacture. Why are they good? Firstly, the fact that they are not required to take care of them in a special way, to use special means. Partially removable plastic models on implants are ideal for those people who have no teeth left at all. Unlike conventional ones, which are fixed in the mouth solely due to vacuum, they are securely fixed. To fix the prosthesis on the implants, a beam or push-button lock is used.
Sometimes an intracanal implant can be used for the installation of such a structure. To do this, a person must have either single-rooted teeth or roots into which it is possible to mount the implant pin.
Acrylic is a material that can be matched very well in color. As a result, the people around you do not notice that your mouth is not your natural teeth.
Acrylic dentures
You can talk as much as you like about the fact that plastic is not durable and that it will break. Let me remind you that any prosthesis will have to be replaced over time. Even if you pay a million dollars for it, over time you will still need to make a new one. Over the years, the jaw bone becomes thinner and this process is irreversible. What can be done? The maximum is to increase the required volume. But this is time and a lot of money.
Clasp removable dentures
Without exaggeration, this type of prosthetics can be called one of the most progressive. If a man cannot build a bridge, orthopedic dentistry recommends this particular option to restore chewing function and aesthetics.
As a base for such a prosthesis, metal is used, or rather, surgical steel, which does not oxidize and does not cause allergies. The base is small, takes up a minimum of space, does not cause discomfort and foreign body sensation in the mouth. Thanks to this feature, the denture can be left on at night. Installation requires one or more teeth suitable for anchoring.
The installation of removable dentures of this type is performed in three different ways:
- attachments (mini-locks). The mini-lock is the most aesthetic. When people laugh, those around them do not see the prosthesis.
- clasps that are part of the metal structure itself (minus - visibility). These are small metal hooks that cling to the abutment teeth;
- locks.
Please note that this type of prosthetics has contraindications:
- the patient is allergic to metal or other material contained in the product;
- at a shallow depth of the bottom of the oral cavity;
- with a deep bite;
- too low abutment teeth / their complete absence;
- diseases leading to a decrease in volume bone tissue;
- with a short frenum of the tongue;
- any diseases in the oral cavity, if they occur in an acute form.
The service life of such a prosthesis is approximately ten years. Once a year, the patient needs to come for a correction. Of course, this method of dental restoration will not replace implantation, but it is a good alternative, at least temporarily.
Nylon removable dentures
Nylon is a very controversial material. On the one hand, the material is comfortable and hypoallergenic, does not cause any difficulties in terms of installation. On the other hand, for some patients, such prostheses rub the gums
Overall, there is not much difference between acrylic and nylon dentures. Unless you can take nylon out of your mouth at night. But there is also one important nuance.
If you have nylon removable dentures, for example, on the upper teeth, consider the fact that their softness (dentures) can negatively affect the condition of the bone tissue and even lead to its atrophy.
Partial
Sometimes it is necessary to make a prosthesis, which is installed on only one tooth. It can be easily attached with metal locks to adjacent, natural teeth. Similarly, the installation of bridges is performed, which are placed in the presence of several of their teeth.
Many dental patients are looking for models without palate. This is due to the fact that some people experience discomfort from the sensation of a foreign body or even a gag reflex if there is a plate for fixation on the palate.
Advantages of partial dentures:
- perfectly restore aesthetics;
- help restore chewing function;
- have a relatively low cost.
Disadvantages of Partial Dentures
- Influence on diction. The owner will have to learn to talk to foreign body in the mouth. This will take time.
- The taste perception will change.
- Some owners complain of perceptible discomfort. Its degree depends on the material and quality of the prosthesis.
Surely many have heard of partial silicone removable dentures. What is it? For their manufacture, they use nylon, plastics and, in fact, silicone, from which the outer part is made. The teeth themselves are usually made of plastic. Therefore, this option of prosthetics is inexpensive.
The pluses of this type include:
- high resistance to enzymes and dyes that can change the color of surfaces. Silicone does not change its color for years;
- great aesthetics. The silicone-based bridge is indistinguishable from the natural dentition. Even his clasps are made from materials that have a natural color. Usually nylon is used for this;
- high strength and durability of the structure, even with prolonged use;
- no difficulty in adjusting to the anatomical features of the palate and gums. As a result - fast adaptation of the patient;
- excellent design that fits securely and does not fall out. No teeth grinding required;
- does not cause allergic reactions... Suitable for those who suffer from acrylic allergies;
- always natural distribution of chewing loads over the jaw area.
There are also disadvantages:
- with significant chewing loads, the patient experiences discomfort;
- higher price. More expensive than an acrylic denture;
- inadequate hygiene leads to unpleasant odors, which can only be eliminated by using specialized care products. For a complete cleaning, you need to contact a specialist;
- very poorly polished surface. On a rough basis, bacterial plaque is collected, leading to the appearance of inflammatory processes;
- among the owners of such a prosthesis, many complain of gum trauma while chewing food;
- the need for regular correction;
- lowering of the gums, destruction of the jaw bone. When the prosthesis subsides, the clasps damage the mucous membrane;
- there is a possibility of damage from eating solid food.

Full
Such prostheses are used when there are no teeth at all. Not every person is ready to live with an “empty mouth”. This is inconvenient, causes discomfort, and creates a lot of problems with the use of most products. Not to mention the mass of complexes that develop over time.
So, about the benefits:
- restoration of the dentition;
- improving aesthetics;
- simple fit to the customer's jaw. It is much more convenient to make a denture over the entire surface than a partial one.
However, this does not mean that everything is so cloudless. In any case, a correction will be needed. Over time, the gum sags, the bone tissue becomes thinner. We have to adjust the level. When installed on the upper jaw, they are attached due to a snug fit to the palate. Someone may not like this option. The issue of installing implants in the jawbone is being resolved.
If you need to install a similar prosthesis on the lower jaw, the procedure is carried out according to the same principles.
This type of prosthesis is recommended for those patients who have lost their main chewing teeth, are allergic to metal-containing dentures or have any contraindications for implantation. Often used as a replacement for temporary prostheses.
Conditionally removable are those prostheses that cannot be removed on their own. This can only be done by a specialist dentist.
How convenient is this design? In any case, while you are eating or interacting with others, your jaw will not drop out. This is already a big plus. After all, we all remember how it was in the old days, when implanted teeth could fall, for example, into a bowl of soup. And the visibility of such products of the new model is far from the same as before. It is not difficult to get used to them.
They are fastened either with screws or with special cement. That is why it is simply impossible to remove them without outside help. The crown can be made of metal-plastic, cermet.
Partially removable dentures
Options for conditionally removable prosthetics:
- gluing to abutment teeth / in special grooves of abutment teeth using a cementitious material;
- installation on four implants installed in the front of the jaw.
There are also disadvantages. After all, this decision is temporary. Fasteners last a little over a year, after which a new structure has to be manufactured.
Removable denture making
It all starts with a visit to the orthodontist. The patient comes for examination so that the doctor can study a specific case, make an impression, and select a suitable design. Further, based on the shape of the existing cast, a blank is made. After trying it on, it is adjusted more precisely so that the finished product ideally fits the anatomical features of the customer.
After that, using the parameters of the workpiece, the denture itself is made in the dental laboratory using the type of material chosen by the client.
After manufacturing, the prosthesis is tried on. The patient takes it and wears it during the day. After that, if there is a need for correction, he comes to the doctor.
If the basic structure is made locally, the teeth are often ordered from other countries. They are produced in Germany, Japan and other countries. It is worth noting that the quality really depends on this. If we compare them with cheaper counterparts, then the service life of "imported" ones is longer.
No matter how accurate the prosthesis is, it will need to be adjusted later. The jaw changes, the bone becomes thinner. So that plastic or metal does not press on the mucous membrane, causing irritation and inflammatory processes, you need to adjust the exact position. In some cases, structural repairs may be required. It is performed in the same dental laboratory where the product is manufactured (if, of course, it is technically possible).
How to care for removable dentures
One of the key questions is related to the characteristics of care. Many people simply do not know how to properly store removable dentures so that they serve for a long time and retain their properties. Of course, any teeth get dirty, even if they are artificial. So how do you clean removable dentures? In this regard, caring for them is no different from caring for ordinary teeth. That is, you need to use toothpaste and a brush.
In particular, whitening pastes can be used to remove pigmentation from food. Considering that this is an artificial material, you can not be afraid to damage the enamel with abrasive particles or an aggressive chemical component.
Do I need to clean my denture every time after eating? You don't have to do it that regularly. You just need to rinse it under running water to remove food debris. Clean the product twice a day - morning and evening
Removable dentures - which ones are better?
No matter how much time has passed, people continue to argue which is better. In dental prosthetics, there has also been such a thing for a long time. cold war". People argue because they don't understand, manufacturers because they want to sell their products, and specialists because everyone has their own reasons for a certain material and method.
Types of dentures
- If you have your own teeth (five or more) on your jaw, then it is recommended to install a clasp prosthesis.
- With the complete absence of teeth, options are possible. First, it is possible to install implants on which any modern prostheses are attached. Secondly, you will be offered simpler ones - acrylic and nylon dentures.
The selection depends not only on the financial capabilities of the client, but also on his anatomical features, health status (contraindications).
Pricing
So, my dear readers, we come to the key question. All of you are concerned about the cost of modern removable dentures. I decided to approach the issue thoroughly, having studied the proposals of various clinics in the CIS countries.
The first one came across the St. Petersburg clinic:
- Clasp (arc) - an average of 65 thousand rubles. That (at the time of writing) was roughly $ 970. The amount is considerable for the majority ordinary people... It is written that the teeth themselves are made in Germany.
- Quality nylon. Also German teeth and nylon from the USA. The price is about 60 thousand rubles. This is about $ 900.
- For plastic teeth (plastic - Germany, teeth - Japan) they ask from 25 thousand rubles - 372 USD.
- on clasps - at least 45 thousand rubles (670 USD);
- on locks - from 35 to 80 thousand rubles. (521-1192 cu);
- on telescopic crowns - 100-200 thousand rubles ($ 1490-2980);
- on implants - 90-200 thousand rubles (approximately from 1340 to 3000 dollars).
Dental prosthetics
As you can see, the price of removable dentures depends very much on the material, complexity and other factors.
They also offer Quattro Ti nylon dentures. They mix nylon and hypoallergenic plastics. The result is increased strength, no allergies, no metal at all. Over time, such a prosthesis does not deform. It costs from 45 thousand rubles and more (670-1000 dollars).
In Ukraine, prices are relatively affordable:
- for a partial plate prosthesis, they require from 2130 hryvnia (85 USD);
- full plate prosthesis - from 3000 hryvnia (120 USD);
- clasp dentures - 5200 hryvnia (207 USD).
Moving on to Minsk prices:
- nylon, quadrotti, etc. from 10,600,000 ($ 540);
- clasp prosthesis without attachments will cost 7.74 million (almost 4 thousand dollars).
Feel the difference? A little more and clinics in Kiev will become an object of mass "dental tourism".
What do people write?
I was also interested in the reviews of people who used such services. Because even I am thinking about taking advantage of similar offers in the future. All of us are not eternal, and our teeth are even more so. Fillings fall out sooner or later, implantation is not always possible. Therefore, it is worth considering this possibility as well.
Of course, 80-year-old grandmothers do not unsubscribe on review sites (although there are exceptions). But there are quite a few people 45-60 years old who spend time on the Web. Many of them were clients of dental clinics, where they establish different types prostheses.
In the capitals, people are very much even keenly interested in clasp prosthetics. Muscovites, residents of St. Petersburg and Kiev people install such prostheses quite often. Complaints are not so much about the products themselves, but about the level of manufacture. In some unthinkable way, the masters manage to make a denture not accurately from a mold or even a computer model.
The people praise implant prostheses. They are more reliable and do not have to constantly run for correction. Only now by medical indications Unfortunately, this option is not suitable for everyone.
When choosing the type of prosthetics, the doctor takes into account a huge number of factors related to the patient's condition, his age, etc. If you do not do this, do not predict all kinds of risks, you can get a lot of complications. Therefore, it is so important to contact exclusively experienced specialists. Fortunately, there are now a lot of good clinics in the CIS and beyond, where they can make a high-quality prosthesis.
Video - Making dentures in the laboratory
If several decades ago, when restoring teeth, patients had a very limited choice of orthopedic constructions, today there is an abundance of all kinds of constructions on the market. Which removable denture is better to install and which fixed prosthetics is the best quality and most durable, says the candidate medical sciences - chief physician clinic Esthetic Classic Dent in Moscow.
Choice by indications and budget
The best dentures are those indicated for the patient. Generally speaking, implant-supported designs will be the most modern. However, there are two very important points: implantation has a number of limitations and is considered an expensive procedure (especially if we are talking about full recovery teeth). In this case, other designs come to the rescue, which are also designed to restore functionality and aesthetics. Before you start talking about different systems in more detail, you need to make some distinction so that you don't get confused.
All dentures are usually divided into several types. First of all, the number of teeth to be replaced is taken into account: this criterion implies the installation of a partial or complete denture. Removable and conditionally removable prostheses are distinguished by the method of removing the structure from the oral cavity. Which one is better - read on.
The best dentures for partial missing teeth
Which fixed dentures are better for choosing if one or more teeth are missing? The best ratio of aesthetics and functionality can be achieved by implants, however, other modern prostheses are also of good quality.

What are the best removable dentures?
Removable structures are understood as those prostheses that the patient can independently remove from the oral cavity for hygiene and cleaning of the prosthesis itself. Find out which removable dentures are the best in this category.
Which denture is better for missing teeth?
Previously, patients who, for one reason or another, it was impossible to install implants, had to put up with rather inconvenient hard plastic prostheses. Today, there are modern designs on the market that practically do not cause any inconvenience to their owner. Many are also looking for the best removable dentures for the upper jaw, because it is during the restoration of teeth on upper jaw good fixation of the structure is especially important so that the prosthesis does not fall out in the most unexpected cases. Installation of a high-quality fixed (conditionally removable) full prosthesis is not complete without implantation.
When several teeth are missing in a row, implant-supported dentures are the ideal choice. As a rule, 2 implants are implanted, on which a prosthesis is subsequently installed, imitating the coronal part of the tooth.
Fixed structures that replace a fragment of the dentition and are installed on adjacent grinded teeth. Most modern dental bridges are usually made of ceramic and look more aesthetically pleasing than metal counterparts.
It is named so because of its shape, which resembles the wings of insects. Allows to replace several missing teeth. The plastic butterfly prosthesis imitates the crown of the tooth and part of the palate, attaching to the adjacent teeth using clasps. The use is justified as a temporary measure.
Clasp and plate prostheses
The best dentures of this type constructions made of nylon and acrylic are considered, imitating part of the dentition on both sides of the jaw. These are the so-called plate prostheses. There are designs with metal arches (clasp dentures) that are less advantageous in terms of aesthetics and possible allergic reactions.
It is considered the best option for a complete prosthesis on implants, since the load is distributed most correctly and a high stability of the entire structure is achieved.
A spherical abutment is installed on each implanted implant, which is fastened to the prosthesis by means of special locks. It is also considered an excellent option, but is slightly inferior to beam structures in terms of reliability.
Mini-implants are also implanted into the bone, so the volume of the bone tissue is just as important here as when installing standard implants. In this case, only removable constructions are suitable for prosthetics, since mini-implants are used as a temporary option and cannot bear a more serious load.
Removable full dentures completely simulate the jaw and palatal region. There are many models on the market today, but the most modern are acrylic and nylon prostheses of the new generation. Learn more about modern species dental prosthetics by calling the clinic.
Which denture material will last better and longer?
The material from which the prosthesis is made has the greatest impact on the wearing comfort, and this is especially true for removable systems. If no mistakes were made in the manufacture of the structure itself, but the prosthesis still delivers significant discomfort, then the matter is most likely not of the highest quality material. Of course, no such system can provide one hundred percent convenience (especially at the stage of getting used to), however, modern materials make it possible to achieve very high rates. So, what qualities should the best materials for dentures have:
- Hypoallergenic. Many people are allergic to plastic and acrylic.
- "Friendliness" to the gums. If the denture rubs the gums badly, wearing it will be sheer torment.
- Color fastness. Immunity to staining and environmental influences.
- Acceptable strength. Although removable denture rarely serves more than 5 - 6 years, the structure should not be too fragile.
If we talk about specific brands of removable dentures, the best acrylic denture is Acry-Free made of acrylic-free plastic: it is very comfortable, does not shrink when worn, does not stain and does not cause allergies. The best nylon dentures at the moment are the Quattro Ti brand. However, "Quadrotti" has limitations to its use: to install them on one of the jaws, there must be several healthy teeth, however, like other clasp-type prostheses. As for non-removable systems, metal-free structures are increasingly used here, which look more aesthetically pleasing, do not cause allergies, but are also less durable.
No one is immune from the loss of teeth. This could be the result of injury or serious dental illness. The loss of even one tooth spoils the aesthetics of a smile and changes the quality of life not in better side... Possibilities modern medicine allow you to qualitatively restore the integrity of the smile. What types of prosthetics does modern dentistry offer its patients?
Types of prosthetics
The possibilities of modern dentistry allow you to restore the integrity of the smile in any situation.The main types of dentures:
- Removable used in the absence of all teeth, the structure is attached using special plates.
- Fixed are used to restore the destroyed part of the tooth, as well as in the case of the loss of one or two elements. Such products are installed for a certain period, they cannot be removed without the help of a specialist.
- Implantation- implantation of an implant (acting as a root) into the jaw bone, on which a crown is put on. This type of prosthetics allows not only to restore the integrity of the smile, but also to restore its functionality to the dentition.
Classification of removable dentures
Removable dentures- constructions that, if necessary, can be removed from the oral cavity (for their care, during a night's sleep, etc.), and then put back on. This type of prosthetics is popular among mature patients.
