In this article, learn about the different types of dental prosthetics so that you can figure out which one best suits your needs!<\/p><h2>How to choose your dental prosthesis<\/h2><p>Dental prosthetics are appliances that replace missing or damaged teeth. They can be fixed or removable and are made with a variety of different materials.<\/p><p>There are many types of dental prosthetics, which can be categorized based on how they are attached, how long they last and how much they cost. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/cliniquedentaire1935.ca\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Montreal dentists<\/a> explain in more detail below!<\/p><h3>Removable dentures<\/h3><p>As their name suggests, <a href=\"https:\/\/cliniquedentaire1935.ca\/en\/dental-care\/dentures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">removable dentures<\/a> can be taken out and put back in by the wearer. They are usually made of resin or resin-coated metal and are less expensive than fixed dentures. However, their lifespan is often shorter.<\/p><h4>Complete dentures<\/h4><p>Full or complete removable dentures are dental prosthetics that replace missing teeth in a natural way. They are called \u201cfull\u201d or \u201ccomplete\u201d because the prosthesis replaces all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw.<\/p><p>Complete removable dentures are usually made of acrylic resin or porcelain that mimics real teeth. Pink acrylic is also added to imitate the gums.<\/p><h4>Partial dentures<\/h4><p>Like the type of prosthesis described above, removable partial dentures are appliances that replace one or more missing or damaged teeth. Partial dentures will help you chew food, improve the appearance of your teeth and make enunciation easier.<\/p><p>Denture technicians create partial dentures using measurements and impressions taken from the patient. Removable partial dentures are made of plastic with a metal structure to hold them in place in the patient\u2019s mouth using clasps.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-9a552e7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"9a552e7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e2932b4\" data-id=\"e2932b4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a9529b0 btn-container btn-container--blue elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"a9529b0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"tel:5145271276\" target=\"_blank\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">514 5271-276<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-73da31a elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"73da31a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-f4afc82\" data-id=\"f4afc82\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2901007 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2901007\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Fixed dental prosthetics<\/h3><p>Fixed dental prosthetics are used to permanently replace one or more teeth. These dental appliances are usually recommended for people who still have many healthy natural teeth and only need to replace one or a few. Unlike removable dentures, which can be taken out by the wearer, fixed dental prosthetics can only be removed by a dentist.<\/p><h4>Dental crowns<\/h4><p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/cliniquedentaire1935.ca\/en\/blogue\/dental-crown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dental crown<\/a> is a type of fixed prosthesis that is used to cover a damaged tooth. If a tooth is damaged to such an extent that it cannot be healed by other dental treatments, a crown can be placed on the tooth to strengthen it, restore its shape and improve its appearance. The crown acts as a protective covering for the tooth, providing added strength and better aesthetics.<\/p><p>Several different materials can be used to make a dental crown:<\/p><ul><li>Metal crown<\/li><li>Ceramic crown<\/li><li>Metal-ceramic crown<\/li><\/ul><p>Your dentist will always make sure to choose a colour that most closely resembles the colour of your natural teeth.<\/p><h4>Implant-supported dentures<\/h4><p><a href=\"https:\/\/cliniquedentaire1935.ca\/en\/dental-implantology\/implant-dentures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Implant-supported dentures<\/a> are a new type of dental prosthesis that replaces one or more missing teeth by inserting titanium implants directly into the jawbone. This technique offers a stable and comfortable prosthesis similar to removable dentures. Implant placement is a modern solution for replacing missing teeth.<\/p><p>When an implant-supported prosthesis is used, its appearance and function is similar to that of natural teeth. Furthermore, there is no need to modify the adjacent teeth or use them for support (as is the case with bridges), which can be both an aesthetic and functional advantage.<\/p><h4>Dental bridges<\/h4><p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/cliniquedentaire1935.ca\/en\/dental-care\/dental-bridge\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dental bridge<\/a> is another type of fixed prosthesis that can be used to replace one or more missing teeth. It can be adapted for a variety of circumstances and is attached to abutments, which are usually the teeth adjacent to the gap. In order to place a bridge, the dentist will need to modify the two adjacent teeth so that they can support the dental appliance.<\/p><p>Like crowns, dental bridges are made of ceramic or porcelain, with a color close to that of natural teeth. They integrate seamlessly into a patient\u2019s smile and help regain chewing function.<\/p><h4>Dental veneers<\/h4><p><a href=\"https:\/\/cliniquedentaire1935.ca\/en\/cosmetic-dentistry\/dental-veneers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dental veneers<\/a> are a type of aesthetic restoration used primarily on front teeth. They can correct many aesthetic imperfections without excessive damage to the underlying tooth.<\/p><p>The veneer is bonded to the surface of the tooth that is visible when smiling and can be used to repair:<\/p><ul><li>A <a href=\"https:\/\/cliniquedentaire1935.ca\/en\/blogue\/what-to-do-broken-tooth\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">broken or chipped tooth<\/a><\/li><li>Teeth that are uneven in length or position<\/li><li>Teeth that become discoloured over time<\/li><\/ul><h2>How to maintain dental prosthetics<\/h2><p>Fixed dental prosthetics should be cared for in the same way as natural teeth. Brush your teeth twice a day, changing brushes every 3 to 6 months, floss, and have your teeth scaled regularly. Following these recommendations will help you maintain good oral health and extend the lifespan of your dental appliance.<\/p><p>However, there are a few extra steps to take when maintaining removable dentures. They should not be worn for more than 24 hours at a time and should be removed at night. It\u2019s important to take removable dentures out after every meal and clean them with a soft toothbrush. At the end of the day, the dentures should be placed in an antiseptic bath for at least 15 minutes to avoid bacterial growth that can cause inflammation or periodontal disease.<\/p><h2>Choose the right dental prosthesis with Clinique Dentaire 1935<\/h2><p>There are various types of dental prosthetics that can be used to replace missing or damaged teeth, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
