When is the right time to get dental implants? Generally, one month after tooth extraction, you should have movable dentures, three months later you can have fixed dentures, and six months later you can have dental implants. However, if there are few remaining teeth, and there is elongation or loosening, and you do not want to remove them all in a short time, you can set transitional movable dentures in 1-2 weeks after extraction to reduce the burden of remaining teeth and slow down the time of their loss. However, premature veneers are often due to changes in the alveolar bone and lead to dentures in a year and a half of wear is loose and does not fit, need to be re-produced. And after the extraction of teeth for a long time will lead to remaining teeth tilt, bite disorder, temporomandibular joint disease and other problems, so after the missing teeth should be timely dental implants. What kind of dentures are good? If the number of missing teeth is small, there are solid remaining teeth before and after the missing area, the general health and economic conditions allow, can consider fixed dentures. These dentures feel comfortable and chew powerfully, among which “porcelain teeth” are beautiful and realistic, and “steel teeth” are economical and practical, which are welcomed by patients. However, if the number of missing teeth, especially the back end of the missing tooth area without real teeth, should consider setting active dentures. Movable dentures have the advantages of easy cleaning, beautiful and inexpensive, movable dentures are traditional “plastic braces”, high-strength “stainless steel braces” and wire-free “invisible dentures”, which are widely accepted by patients. are widely accepted by patients. In short, dentures themselves have their own characteristics, the best for you! Ask your doctor to make a decision for you. What should I pay attention to after getting dentures? First of all, wearing new dentures, especially movable dentures, like wearing new shoes, there is a process of adaptation, should take the initiative to accept it psychologically, adapt to it, but if there is obvious pain, take wear difficulties, etc. should promptly find a doctor to adjust until adaptation. Second, the oral hygiene care of real teeth and dentures is particularly important. Fixed dentures can not be removed for cleaning, should pay attention to the meal, before bedtime rinse mouth, brush teeth. The movable dentures should be taken down and cleaned, and the remaining teeth should be brushed frequently to avoid food residue retention, so as to keep the real teeth and dentures clean, especially to prevent caries or periodontitis due to the accumulation of soft scale and tartar on the abutment teeth of the stable dentures, thus affecting the service life of the dentures. How should dentures be maintained? The life of dentures can be used by some people for ten to several decades, but some people can only use two or three years, which is related to the materials used to make dentures, the remaining teeth and alveolar bone changes, but also related to whether they are good at using and maintaining. Although fixed dentures chew powerfully, but should also avoid biting too tough, too hard food, so as not to cause porcelain chipped or overburdened abutment teeth and pain or even loosening. Active dentures should avoid biting into position with teeth, so as not to deform or break the ring (hook); cleaning with a soft toothbrush dipped in toothpaste, when not wearing soaked in cold boiling water, so as not to lose water plastic brittle or deformation; not to use hot water, alcohol, salt water, disinfectant solution, etc. soaking, so as not to cause surface cracks, rough, coloring or even deformation and other problems. As long as the dentures are not bad, do not need to replace? Wrong! With the extension of missing teeth time, missing teeth area alveolar bone will gradually shrink, become low, and the rate of shrinkage of multiple parts is not consistent, so the movable denture wear three or five years later often appear loose, bite low, local mucosal damage pain and other phenomena, this time should be timely follow-up examination, unsuitable movable denture should be replaced in a timely manner, so as not to cause faster absorption of alveolar bone, shrinkage.
