Unfortunately, human teeth do not last forever. Over the
years, our teeth have had to endure a lot. Especially if you have paid little
attention to dental care for a while, after a heavy fall, it may also be the
case that one or more teeth need to be replaced. Dentures or prostheses are
then a perfect solution and will help you out. But when do you really need a
prosthesis? And what types of prostheses and dentures are available in our
time?
It's time for... dentures.
If you have several teeth that are rotten or have fallen
out, and you can no longer eat and swallow properly, it is time to consider
dentures or false teeth. After all: who wouldn't want to be able to chew and
eat properly? Even if you experience a lot of pain due to inflammation in your
teeth, it is best to visit a Virginia family
dentist quickly to see the possibilities for having a full or partial
denture fitted. As an experienced specialist, a dentist can inform you exactly
about the options available and the costs.
In short: it's time for 'dentures.' We put this term in
quotes because the term does not really do justice to the many variants that
exist in the field of prostheses. There are various types of prostheses. In
fact, there is a tailor-made solution for every dental problem. Below you can
read which types of prostheses are most common and which type of teeth can be a
solution to the problems you experience in your situation.
Most common types and types of prostheses
1.
Traditional dentures,
which completely replace the bottom and/or top of your jaw in terms of teeth
and which you can take in and out, are still widely used. But this old type of
dentition has been supplemented in recent decades by various other types of
prostheses.
2.
A commonly used variant is
the so-called overdenture. These prostheses use existing roots in your
teeth and, if relevant, also implants that have already been placed. An
advantage: your jaws remain strong for longer, so you can use an overdenture
for a longer period of time.
3.
Another popular and
frequently used prosthesis is the so-called snap in denture. This
is a smaller prosthesis that can be secured in your mouth with a simple click
and can be removed quickly. These teeth are attached via implants in the lower
and/or upper jaw of your teeth.
4.
Finally, there is the telescopic
prosthesis. Dentists attach these prostheses to telescopic crowns, special
implants in the teeth that provide extra support and strength.
