Enhancing quality of life with dentures

It doesn’t matter if you lost your teeth or if they were destroyed beyond repair, there is still something you can do today. The cost of dentures is relatively low, making them an affordable option. Here, we will describe how dentures are fitted, when to place them, how treatments are carried out, as well as how they are repaired if necessary.

Types of dentures

Dentures are used to replace missing teeth in the mouth and allow the patient to eat and speak normally. By using dentures, the mouth, and jaw are kept in a healthy shape and appearance without altering their pattern.

We distinguish several main types of dentures, and each patient’s denture placement treatment is tailored to their individual needs:

• Partial dentures – when a single missing tooth or several teeth are replaced, and the rest of the mouth still has the patient’s permanent teeth. These dentures are attached to the teeth with special hooks according to personal choice.

• Full dentures – Patients who are completely toothless will need dentures on both upper and lower jaws.

• Furthermore, removable dentures are also an option, where the denture is separate from the mouth and can be removed or assembled independently.

It is also possible to attach teeth with implants that are hermetically sealed with the jaw.

Denture repair

Maintaining good hygiene and cleaning dentures is essential for keeping them for a long time. Cracks or fractures should be repaired as soon as possible by a dental clinic. The dentist will be able to diagnose and fix the problem. To ensure that everything is in order, it is important to come to an examination periodically.

Keeping your teeth clean and brushed is very important since it ensures their existence and their integrity in your mouth for a long time.

How often should dentures be repaired?

It is also necessary to repair denture teeth in cases that are not related to the breakage of the teeth. A long period of use leads to erosion of the teeth due to wear and tear.

There will be times when it will be necessary to repair some of the teeth and change parts of their structure so that they can be used by the patient in the future. In some cases, there is no escape, and the patient will have to replace whole parts in order to keep their teeth healthy for as long as possible.

Additionally, teeth can move during use, causing discomfort in the jaw or even injury. The symptoms of discomfort with eating, speech difficulties, or unsatisfactory aesthetics indicate that there are changes in the teeth and that an examination is needed at the dental clinic.

It is possible for removable dentures to no longer be suitable for various reasons, and readjustments may be required after the patient has been measured and a model has been built.
