The first stage begins with an examination and diagnosis of the oral cavity. The dentist conducts X-ray examinations and determines which teeth need to be replaced and what type of prosthesis is best suited for the patient.
Before the denture is installed, various procedures may be required, such as tooth extraction, gum treatment, or bite adjustment. These manipulations are necessary to ensure the correct fixation of the denture.
After preparation, impressions of the teeth and jaws are taken. Based on these impressions, a model of the prosthesis is made in the laboratory. The manufacturing time may take several days, depending on the complexity.
When the prosthesis is ready, the patient is assigned a fitting. At this stage, the dentist checks how the prosthesis fits and, if necessary, makes adjustments to improve the fit and comfort.
After the final fitting, the prosthesis is finally installed. The patient is given recommendations for care and use. The first few days may require an adaptation period, during which minor inconveniences are possible.
- Visit your dentist for diagnostics. It is important to undergo an examination in advance and determine the condition of your teeth and gums.
- Carry out the necessary procedures. Before installing the prosthesis, the dentist may prescribe treatment of your teeth or gums, or the removal of problem teeth.
- Discuss all stages of treatment. Clarify in advance all possible stages, timing of production and installation of prostheses to avoid surprises.
- Follow dietary recommendations. Before the procedure, it is advisable to stick to light food and avoid excessive stress on the teeth.
When teeth are missing, the jaw bone tissue begins to deteriorate, which leads to a change in the shape of the face and difficulties in subsequent installation of a prosthesis. The bone decreases over time, and this may require additional procedures to restore it.
Lack of teeth can lead to the inability to chew food properly, which increases the load on the gastrointestinal tract. This can cause digestive problems, including gastritis or ulcers.
Missing teeth affect pronunciation and appearance. This can cause discomfort in communication, difficulties in professional and social life.
The average lifespan of acrylic removable dentures is 5-7 years. Over time, dentures may lose their shape and require replacement or correction, which is associated with natural changes in the jaw and gums.
It is advisable to remove dentures at night to give the gums a rest and prevent inflammation. Constant wearing can cause irritation of the mucous membrane and lead to the development of stomatitis.
Dentures should be cleaned with special brushes and solutions to remove plaque and bacteria. It is also recommended to rinse dentures after meals and store them in clean water when not in use.
Alternative options include nylon dentures, which are more flexible and comfortable, and clasp dentures, which provide better retention. These options may be more expensive, but offer a number of benefits in terms of comfort and durability.
