My birth process, although also known as “fake”, but I am the real material, after a number of complex processes, carefully crafted teeth replacement, never in the street stalls and underground workshops can be crude A goods Oh! So, when you need me, you must remember to choose a reliable, quality manufacturer, otherwise, no safety material to bring you harm, but also to your mind will leave a shadow, misunderstanding about me, so that I lost the opportunity to help you. You know, with the improvement of human life expectancy and quality of life, I am the majority of people inseparable from the old friends Oh! The first step to be friends is to understand each other, as many humans still know little about our family, I as the spokesman for the denture family, it is necessary to introduce myself to you, so that you know more about my character, temperament and preferences, so that you can better use us to serve you! Our denture family has a large population and many races, just like the human white people, black people, yellow people, brown people, Chinese people, American people, British people, and so on. Different kinds of dentures also have different characteristics and temperament, just like human beings. In layman’s terms, dentures that can be removed from the mouth and installed back are called removable dentures; dentures that are fixed in the mouth and cannot be removed are called fixed dentures; and now, there is a class of dentures called dental implants that are becoming the fastest growing group in our family, which uses artificial materials to replace missing teeth whose roots have been completely extracted. Generally speaking, removable dentures are relatively inexpensive, fixed dentures are relatively more expensive, and dental implants, even more so. When will you need us again? When you are missing a functional tooth in your mouth, it is time to visit your dentist for an examination. There are great dangers if a tooth is lost and not set in time. For example, a person’s chewing ability will decrease, affecting the aesthetics, shifting the surrounding teeth, increasing the load of the remaining teeth, disuse elongation of the opposite teeth, more missing teeth, increasing the wrinkles on the face and making people look old. Generally speaking, you can set movable dentures after 1~3 months of missing teeth; you can set fixed dentures after 3 months or more; if you want to take an implant home, then your setting time needs to be decided by the implantologist according to your specific situation, some can be planted immediately while removing teeth, some need to observe and wait for several months. In addition, if you have periodontal and endodontic diseases in your mouth, you must follow the doctor’s advice and undergo a thorough and systematic treatment before you can start the veneering process. If you are in a hurry, you can get a transitional temporary denture while you wait for it to heal, but you should be aware that rushing to get a denture too early may result in short term irregularities, looseness, and pain due to changes in the alveolar bone and gums. There is another situation where you need a denture, and that is when the nerve of your real tooth has been removed by treatment, you need to wrap a denture over the real tooth in time, because the texture of the tooth without the nerve is very fragile and is prone to splitting when stressed. What kind of dentures are suitable for you? Generally speaking, if the number of missing teeth is small, the front and back teeth are healthy and stable, or the tooth loss is within a certain range, the physical condition can tolerate the operation process, the economic conditions can afford the cost of fixed dentures, you can choose to set a fixed denture, this kind of denture is more comfortable, chewing food more efficiently, the color is also natural and realistic, the choice of materials are also many, there can be stainless steel, semi-precious metal, precious metal, precious metal. Semi-precious metal, precious metal, metal porcelain, full porcelain, etc. If you are missing a lot of teeth, the remaining teeth can not provide support, you need to set the movable dentures, movable dentures can be removed for cleaning, but the aesthetics and comfort is worse than fixed dentures, you need to be very patient and perseverance to adapt and wear it for a period of time, movable dentures are also a lot of materials, there are plastic, stainless steel metal, and pure titanium. When you don’t want to have fixed dentures that require grinding and cutting of natural teeth, or when it is difficult to have movable dentures, you can choose dental implants. The artificial root of dental implants is usually made of specially treated titanium or titanium alloy, on which various materials of movable dentures and various porcelain and all-porcelain dentures can also be made. WARNING: Low material dentures can cause inflammation! Since you need to wear dentures in your mouth every day, the material of dentures is very important for human irritation, poor quality dentures will not only cause inflammation of oral mucosa, periodontal tissue, redness, swelling and bleeding, some even cause oral cancer due to long-term local irritation and repeated breakage. Therefore, it is best to choose high-quality materials if you have the financial means to do so. Regardless of which dentures you choose, you need to follow up with your doctor on time. Generally speaking, it takes 8-10 days to make fixed dentures, 15-21 days for complex movable dentures, and several months for dental implants. Because, our dentures are created through a series of complex and precise processes in a specialized processing facility based on your oral condition, it usually takes several patient sessions with you to create quality dentures. How long will it take for you to get used to the close contact with us? Generally speaking, fixed dentures are similar to natural teeth, except for the initial tightness and swelling, you can quickly get used to them and even forget about our presence. However, removable dentures have different size and volume of trays and several metal clips depending on the number of missing teeth, so in the first few weeks to months you will feel a lack of tongue movement, drooling, looseness, foreign body sensation, and even localized painful breakage. Especially when speaking and eating, you will need to first mentally accept us as part of your body and then work on training the cheek and tongue muscles to adapt to the denture. If there is significant pain, you will need to see a doctor to adjust until you are in harmony with us. How long do dentures last? How do you care for your dentures? Although we are not real teeth, we need as much care and patience as your real teeth. Our lifespan is closely related to the way you use them. For fixed dentures, if you use them carefully, do not bite into hard and tough foods, maintain effective oral hygiene, and visit the hospital regularly to prevent dental caries and periodontal disease, we may have a lifespan of several decades to a dozen years. In the case of removable dentures, it is usually necessary to replace them with new ones after three to five years, depending on the situation. Because your alveolar bone will continue to resorb over time, over time, the dentures will not fit your oral cavity, it is necessary to replace the dentures in a timely manner, the unsuitable dentures will cause your alveolar bone to resorb and shrink faster. Wear movable dentures when you can not bite in place with your teeth, so as not to break the deformation, use a soft-haired toothbrush and toothpaste to clean the dentures in a timely manner after eating food every day, when not wearing soaked in cold boiling water, can not use boiling water, alcohol, disinfectant wipe, so as not to deformation, before wearing dentures every day with a toothbrush to clean the gums tongue and palate mucosa, remove plaque in the mouth. Do not wear dentures at night overnight. If the dentures don’t fit, don’t adjust them by yourself but always ask a professional doctor to modify them. After all this, you are now more clear about our temperament, right? If you wholeheartedly love us from action, we will be able to love each other with you, always happy to serve you, hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son!
