How to install dentures

Bridges and prostheses
Dentists are of the opinion that there is no natural teeth. Therefore, they will do their utmost to ensure that you keep yours. However, sometimes a tooth is damaged or missing. Fortunately, it is possible to deal with bridges or prostheses.

Bridges

If a tooth missing, it is important to replace it with a false tooth (or artificial tooth) as soon as possible. This will prevent the remaining teeth to misalignment and cause other problems.

The bridge, also known as "fixed bridge" or "fixed prosthesis partielle", is set permanently to adjacent teeth and replaces one or more teeth.

The procedure

Step 1
The dentist prepares 2 teeth adjacent to the missing tooth in order to receive a crown.

Step 2
The tooth replacement and 2 crowns are customized to the lab in one piece.

Step 3
The dentist places the bridge permanently in the cementing of 2 adjacent teeth.

The bridge is expected to last about 10 years if you take good care. Your dentist will show you how to use a enfileur Silk Silk to move around the artificial tooth in the center of the bridge.

Dentures

There are two types of prostheses - partial prosthetic limbs and complete. They are all manufactured in the laboratory, using a mold (or a fingerprint) of the mouth.

The partial (or removable partial denture) is retained by brackets s'agrippent to neighboring teeth. It replaces one or more teeth and should be removed for the night and cleaning. You can use them when neighboring teeth are not strong enough to withstand a bridge or when many teeth missing.

The prosthesis complete (or complete dentures or false teeth) replaces all natural teeth missing.

It is equally important to take care of prosthetics as they replace natural teeth.

Here's how

Step 1: Clean them every day.
The plaque accumulates on limbs just as easily as natural teeth, unless it is removed from the prostheses. It can extend to natural teeth and gums, making them susceptible to tooth decay and gum disease.

Step 2: Remove them all night.
Brush your teeth well and gums with a soft bristle brush. Be sure to clean and massage gums. If the toothbrush irritates you, run it under hot water to soften the hair or try a clean, damp cloth wrapped around the finger.

Step 3: Make them soak.
Let them soak in warm water, a warm solution (half water half white vinegar) or a cleaner for prostheses. This softens the plaque and tartar that are easier to remove the brush. Scrub and rinse your limbs before they replace. If prostheses have metal brackets, that does soak in warm water.

Step 4: Do you consider your dentist regularly.
As the mouth is constantly changing, we must adjust the prosthesis from time to time to ensure that they always agree. If you have a partial prosthesis, the review will help you whether you take good care of your natural teeth and gums.
