Removable dental implants
A cheap alternative to implants is removable dentures. The doctor advises installing it only in the case of dental adentia. As a result, if only one tooth falls out, there is no way to replace it this way. You will have to consider only an expensive implant.
Many people think that total dentures apply only to people of advanced age, but this is not true. In dental practice, it has been quite common to see young people come to the clinic for removable dentures. At the moment, this is the only option for replacing a number of missing teeth at a low cost.
Indications for removable orthodontic prosthetics are:
- The absence of several adjacent teeth;
- Loss due to trauma;
- Partial or complete adentia due to caries.
Such construction allows you to eat and smile again, the main thing is to find a specialist who will perform everything qualitatively, so that in the future there will be no problems with the operation of prostheses.
One of the main directions of our dental clinic is removable prosthetics. We have many certified dentists who are ready to help you with this problem.
Types of removable dentures
The number of missing teeth is the main criterion for choosing the method of prosthetics.
In our clinic it is possible to install the following prostheses:
- Fully removable dentures. They are used when the lower or upper jaw does not have any of its own teeth. Lack of support for fixation of prosthesis is the main indication. You can attach a fully removable prosthesis with a special suction cup or adhesive. If telescopic dentures are considered, then these are supporting crowns and hooks.
- Partially removable. These are treatments that are attached to the teeth of the jaw and can be retained with clasps or attachments. This allows a couple of teeth to be replaced in a row.
- Complex removable dentures. This type of restoration is used to secure the crown with cement. Only a dentist can remove such a prosthesis using a special tool.
The option is tailored to the individual characteristics of the patient. The first step is to make an appointment for a consultation.
Types and characteristics of modern removable dentures
The type of removable denture is chosen depending on the degree of atrophy of the jawbone, the number of remaining teeth, and the condition of the periodontium.
The first type is a partial denture. It is an arch-shaped prosthesis composed of crowns placed on a metal-ceramic arch. It is suitable for partial dentures when masticatory teeth are missing. The doctor uses clasps or attachments to fix the bridge arch to the healthy teeth. Total dentures can also be considered. The main thing is that the product should be made of metal-ceramic.
The following advantages are highlighted:
- serves from 5 to 10 years;
- lightness and reliability;
- high strength of materials;
- comfortable wear.
Highlighted the following disadvantages:
- individual allergic reactions are possible;
- teeth are edged due to partial dentures;
- the denture must be removed during diagnosis;
- cannot be worn around the clock.
Removable dentures can also be soft. Such dentures are also called nylon dentures. You can still find dentures made on a plastic rigid base in dentistry. These can injure and chafe your gums. Our clinic uses a more pliable and softer material that does not press on the gums and minimizes the painful sensations.
This type can be used not only for full prostheses but also for single prostheses. The product consists of two main parts. These are the imitation teeth and gums. When installing the denture, the fixation occurs naturally or with the help of a special adhesive, suction cup.
Advantages:
- an aesthetic anterior removable denture;
- can be fitted over a couple of teeth or a row;
- does not cause irritation or allergic reactions;
- can be left in place at night and worn around the clock;
- natural color;
- low cost;
- fast adaptation.
Disadvantages:
- uneven distribution of the chewing load;
- the product must be professionally cleaned;
- possible mechanical damage or deformation;
- short lifespan.
There is a plate removable denture. It is considered the cheapest and has been used in dentures for many years. The crowns are placed on a pink acrylic base that replicates the anatomic shape of the jaw 100% and fits very snugly to the gums. The denture is wear-resistant and attractive, but it takes up a lot of space in the mouth, which is slightly uncomfortable to use. It will take a long time to get used to it and it will need to be replaced every two or three years.
Peculiarities of attachment of removable dentures
If there are several natural teeth in the row, they can be used to support removable dentures. Fixation can be achieved with hooks called claspers or attachments, which are known as locks.
The advantages of clasp fixation are:
- the splinting effect for wobbly teeth;
- high strength;
- structural stability;
- no need to perform treatment of the supporting teeth.
A serious disadvantage is that it is not aesthetically pleasing. Such a construction will be noticed immediately if a person smiles and shows his or her teeth.
Attachments refer to a locking system. It consists of two parts. The first is placed on the denture and the second on the supporting tooth.
Advantages:
- inconspicuous;
- they are durable;
- securely supports the denture;
- can be used for partial and full dentures.
There is also a method of fixation on implants. The doctor screws the supporting elements into the jaw and places a crown made of ceramic-metal material on them. These are the elements on which the prosthesis will rest. Such fixation can be on a bar or pins. The option is chosen individually.
The advantages are as follows:
- can be used for total dentures;
- high strength of fixation.
Do not just evaluate the price of removable denture retainers and choose the one that in theory is most suitable. In addition to the price, it is important to consider the technical characteristics and individual features of the oral cavity. Not everyone fits the most affordable option.
Dentistry has a new type of removable prosthetics - these are dentures on suction cups. They are held in place due to the fact that the principle of vacuum fixation works. Such restorations are literally sucked onto the gums. Fixation is considered reliable and very strong, and it is natural. You do not have to experience additional pressure or drill holes to attach the hooks. It is important to note that this fixation option is only suitable for the upper jaw. On the lower it has almost no effect, so in addition it is best to use also a special adhesive for dentures.

At the first consultation, the doctor will tell you in detail about which teeth need to be treated first, about the condition of your gums and about which design you need to choose in order to fill in the missing teeth. About what actions and manipulations need to be carried out. Learn how to take good care of your mouth so you don't have to go to the dentist as often as possible.
After discussing the above aspects, your dentist will draw up a treatment plan, guide you by the stages, timing, cost of the upcoming treatment, make, if necessary, computer diagnostics of the teeth and make an appointment for you at a convenient time for you to start treatment.
It is worth restoring a lost tooth as early as possible, because delaying such a process can lead to unpleasant health consequences and undesirable costs in the future.
Patients who seek help for tooth loss too late unwittingly start the process of destruction of other adjacent teeth, because the load during chewing is not evenly distributed.
Dental implantation is one of the most reliable and effective procedures that allows you to restore one or more teeth.
The method of dental implantation is now very popular, because it helps patients to restore lost teeth both in the upper and lower jaws without grinding pine teeth, which is always carried out during prosthetics (crowns).
With implantation, the number of lost teeth does not matter.
Dental implantation is considered to be the only right way out of care for everyone, because the healing rate of implants today is over 99%!
