WHAT METHOD SHOULD I REPLACE MY TEETH?
I. CONSEQUENCES OF TOOTH LOSS – WHICH METHOD SHOULD I REPLACE MY TEETH?
1.1 Difficulty in chewing, risk of many diseases
Whether you lose your teeth little or much, your chewing force is reduced, leading to difficulty in grinding food, over time causing limited absorption of nutrients in the stomach and intestines. This leads to a higher risk of digestive diseases in people with tooth loss than normal people.
1.2 Misaligned teeth, misaligned jaws
Without a tooth, your teeth will lose their proper alignment, the adjacent teeth will also shift into the gap where the tooth is missing, and the opposing teeth will tend to protrude or fall too far into the gap where the tooth is missing, causing teeth to be spaced, underbite, or tilted…
In the long run, tooth loss will cause temporomandibular joint disorders, making you feel tired, have pain in the ear, headaches, stress… and change the shape of your face, making you look older.
1.3 Causes bone loss, premature aging
Jaw bone loss is a serious consequence that can occur due to tooth loss. The bone at the position of the missing tooth begins to gradually resorb, so the longer the tooth is lost, the more bone loss occurs.
The jaw bone supports the entire facial structure. When the jawbone is atrophied due to tooth loss, the cheeks are sunken, the facial skin sags, and wrinkles appear around the mouth, making the face look much older than its actual age.
1.4 Causes gingivitis, inflammation of the structure around the teeth
When teeth are lost, oral diseases such as tooth decay, gingivitis, periodontitis… will appear more easily and indirectly damage the remaining teeth. The risk of losing more teeth increases.
1.5 Loss of aesthetics, lack of confidence in communication
Most people think that if they lose molars, the teeth inside will not affect the aesthetics of the face, because they are located deep inside the jaw. However, in reality, losing molars will more or less affect the smile. When communicating with others, especially at an angle, they will easily notice the position of our missing teeth.
Therefore, if you do not want to encounter the above problems and consequences, customers should immediately get dentures to restore lost teeth.
II. Which method should be used for dental implants?
When losing teeth, the biggest concern of customers is whether to have dental implants or not, and which method is suitable and which method is good. Here is a list of popular dental implant methods today:
2.1. Removable dentures:
Structure Removable dentures consist of three parts: false teeth (plastic or porcelain), jaw base (flexible plastic) and metal hooks. The advantage of this method is that it does not require the quality of the Customer’s jaw bone. However, this method has the disadvantage of making the Customer’s tooth loss worse. At the same time, removable dentures can also cause gum recession and cause the Customer’s face to age prematurely when used for a long time.
2.2. Porcelain bridge:
A bridge is a method of grinding down two real teeth next to the lost tooth to make pillars for the bridge restoration later. After grinding, the two teeth next to the lost tooth will be covered with two crowns porcelain teeth, false teeth The porcelain bridge will be in the middle of these two crowns, replacing the position of the Customer’s missing teeth.
Similar to removable dentures, porcelain bridges also put Customers at risk of bone loss, gum recession and premature aging of the face. Furthermore, because the two teeth next to the missing tooth must be ground down to make a pillar, the porcelain bridge causes damage to the pulp of these two teeth, so the Customer is likely to lose more real teeth.
2.3. Implant:
Implant teeth is the most highly rated tooth implant method today in terms of effectiveness, safety and success rate. An Implant tooth consists of a Titanium pillar, an Abutment joint and a porcelain crown. In which, the Titanium pillar will be placed inside the jawbone to replace the real tooth root.
Benefits of applying Implant for Customers:
Thanks to its smart structure, Implant teeth have aesthetics and function almost like a real tooth. Therefore, not only is it durable (implants can last 20 years or forever if you take good care of your teeth), implants also help customers overcome the consequences of tooth loss such as receding gums, premature aging, loss of chewing ability, etc. In addition, because there is no need to grind the two teeth next to the lost tooth, customers will minimize the risk of losing more real teeth.
To choose the most suitable and best method, customers need to go to reputable dental addressesfor a general examination. When knowing the exact condition of your teeth and health, the doctors will advise whether or not to implant teeth and which method to use.
