What types of dentures are there?
One of the most frequently asked questions in consultation is "what types of dentures are there" as our dental team are experts in dentures, both in Salou and Tarragona. So we can help you find the best type for you.
Before we begin, you should keep in mind that each patient has his or her own needs and each oral cavity has its own characteristics. Therefore, it is not possible to generalize about these elements. However, we will tell you what these types are so that you have all the information to start with.
Types of dental prostheses according to their method of attachment
This is where a distinction is made between fixed and removable prostheses. As the name suggests, fixed prostheses are those that cannot be removed, offering the patient a result very similar to that of natural teeth. These prostheses are placed on dental implants or on the teeth themselves if possible.
Removable prostheses, on the other hand, are those that the patient can take off and put on as needed. They offer the advantage of being cheaper and quicker for people who need an urgent solution.
Types of dental prostheses according to their extension
The extension of the prosthesis will also determine its type. It is not the same to fit a prosthesis for a single missing tooth as it is to fit it for the entire dental arch.
In the first case, we are talking about crowns for a single tooth, or dental bridges when tooth loss occurs in several teeth. In general, these prostheses are fixed, although there are removable options.
In the second case, we will talk about complete dentures, also known as false teeth. Dentures are usually removable, although it is possible to place a complete denture on dental implants so that it is fixed and looks very natural.
