Dentures as dentures

If many or all teeth are missing

If too many teeth are missing, bridges can no longer be made. Then there are two alternatives: Either implants to replace the missing teeth. Or removable dentures.

Which alternative is chosen depends on several factors:

  • From the wishes of the patient
  • From the anatomical state of the jaw
  • From the state of health
  • From the financial possibilities

Dentures differ from crowns and bridges in that they can be removed for cleaning or repairs. Otherwise you can "Around the clock" be worn.

Simple clip prostheses

Such prostheses are chosen today only in exceptional cases: they have only two advantages, but three major disadvantages. The advantages: They are reasonably priced and their own residual teeth need hardly be ground for clip prostheses. The disadvantages:

  • Visible metal clips on the teeth
  • Not a tight fit when chewing and talking
  • The staple teeth can become loose
  • Sometimes one feels impaired while eating and talking

If you need removable dentures, we recommend the following two alternatives:

High-quality telescopic dentures for more comfort

So-called telescopic prostheses are made when many teeth are missing. They also still allow a relatively good prosthesis content, if only a few teeth are available.

They consist on the one hand of parallel-walled caps, which are cemented firmly on the teeth. These so-called. Primary telescopic crowns may be made of metal or ceramic. The prosthesis itself contains the exact matching counterparts: These so-called secondary telescope crowns fit exactly on the primary crowns. Through this exact fit the hold of the prosthesis is achieved.

These secondary crowns are usually made of metal. In cases of metal incompatibility, they can also be made of special plastics.

You know what the biggest advantages of telescopic dentures are?

  1. They are very easy to handle and care.
  2. They sit reliably and safely on the teeth.
  3. You can not see from the outside that they are artificial teeth.
  4. They can be easily extended: If later another tooth is lost, the secondary telescope crown is simply filled with plastic.

High-quality attachment dentures for more security

This type of removable denture is similar in principle to telescopic crowns. The technical design is somewhat different. With attachment prostheses get the teeth that hold the dentures, normal crowns that look like your own teeth and be cemented firmly. So there are no simple caps as with telescopic prostheses.

These crowns have small stubs on the side (called patricks). The prosthesis contains the exact matching counterparts (the so-called matrices). Again, the good prosthesis content comes about again by the exact fit between the female and male. You can imagine it as a plug connection.

What are the differences to the telescopic prosthesis?

  1. When you remove a telescopic denture, you see the caps on the remaining teeth. If you remove a prosthesis prosthesis, you can still see the complete remaining teeth with the crowns. That can sometimes be a psychological advantage.
  2. Cleaning under the attachment is slightly more difficult than cleaning a telescopic denture.
  3. Attachment prostheses are usually not as easy to expand as telescopic prostheses.

When do you make a telescopic and when a buttock prosthesis?

This depends primarily on the number and arrangement of the remaining teeth and is individually different. But it also depends on your aesthetic wishes. What is the best solution for you, we discuss together after a careful investigation and accurate planning. Let us advise you personally!

The "third": Full dentures (full dentures)

If all teeth are missing so far mainly so-called full dentures have been made. Today, more and more older people in such cases choose implants as dentures. However, this is not for everyone, which is why full dentures are still a common type of dentures today.

For a good grip of such full dentures, however, a well-preserved jaw is a prerequisite. In many older people, the jaw has already degraded severely. In these cases, it may be useful to place two or four implants to give the prostheses a secure fit.
