Types of dental prosthetics

Removable prosthetics

Most of people dislike removable replacement teeth even nowadays, though now much more aesthetic, comfortable and functionally better replacement teeth may be prepared compared to removable replacement types used before. A removable tooth replacement may be complete or partial, and they may be different in type of fixation. Usually the number and position of teeth remained determines which one is the most ideal for the patient.

Types of dental prosthetics - Fixation of a removable denture by dental implantation

In this case 2–4 implants are necessary to provide stability and complete fixation of removable replacement teeth. There are no disadvantages regarding chewing and speaking. Removable tooth replacement should be taken out only when cleaning of the area below the replacement is necessary. Due to implantation, removable tooth replacement has a stable anchorage and it will not move or wobble during use. This means a significant improvement in the quality of life of patients with complete tooth loss.

Complete removable tooth replacement

In complete tooth loss, removable tooth replacement is necessary, which may be conventional tooth replacement without anchorage. A complete removable tooth replacement fixed on an implant is a much comfortable type of dental prosthetics.  In contrast to circular bridges fixed on implants, much less implant is needed for removable tooth replacement, so sometimes this solution is much more cost-effective and quicker for the patient. 2–4 implants are enough to fix a complete removable tooth replacement appropriately, so replacement should be removed only for cleaning. This type of tooth replacement is very stable, does not wobble and it is not an inconvenience for the user.

Partial removable tooth replacement

The advantage of partial removable tooth replacement is that it provides an option to replace several missing teeth next to each other without complicated dental or dental surgical procedures. When the number or position of existing teeth is not sufficient for fixed tooth replacement, the solution is a partial removable tooth replacement. A high-quality solution is a replacement anchored by fasteners ("snaps"). In this case crowns are placed on the remaining teeth. One side of the fastener is fixed on these crowns, the other part is located on the removable tooth replacement by which replacement may be fixed or removed. This small precision mechanics fixation is positioned below the denture, so it is completely invisible. Thus removable tooth replacement is stable, aesthetic and easy to use. In case the patient is not willing to use a removable tooth replacement, it is possible to prepare fixed bridge or circular bridge with implants. See details above at fixed tooth replacement placed on implants.
