4. Today's effective denture implant techniques

Currently, there are 3 most trusted methods of artificial canine implantation. These are: removable dentures, dental implants and porcelain bridges. Each technique has advantages and disadvantages as well as different costs.
Removable denture is a traditional method of tooth implantation, which has been around for a long time. Patients who do not want or do not meet the conditions to perform other methods will choose this solution. The doctor will examine and check the condition of the missing canine tooth. Next, the doctor takes teeth impressions, sends parameters to make replacement dentures.
Dentures are usually made from plastic or composite, it takes 5 to 7 days to make. After being attached by the doctor to the gums, the patient can eat and drink as usual with about 30-40% of the chewing force compared to normal teeth. In addition, the patient can completely remove - install dentures at home for cleaning without the help of a dentist. In addition, when making removable dentures, patients do not need to grind their teeth, and the new teeth do not invade the surrounding teeth. With a use time of 5-7 years, removable dentures are the lowest cost canine implant method.
Porcelain restorations In case the roots are still there, the doctor will usually appoint the patient to restore porcelain teeth. First, the dentist will grind the teeth, take impressions of the jaw. Then design a new model of porcelain teeth to attach on top. This method ensures aesthetics and safety. Porcelain teeth look exactly like real teeth. The lifespan of porcelain teeth is quite long, ranging from 5-25 years. Although the price is quite high, many people still choose to make porcelain teeth instead because of the benefits it brings.
Making porcelain bridges Different from porcelain dental restorations, making porcelain bridges has other steps. To start, the doctor will grind two teeth adjacent to the missing canine to serve as a support post. Next is to attach the porcelain bridge with metal porcelain teeth or full porcelain on top. As a fixed restoration method, making porcelain bridges helps patients achieve chewing force of about 60% - 70% of natural teeth.
Making a porcelain bridge to prevent tooth dislocation, but has the limitation that it is necessary to grind real teeth to create pillars and not limit the phenomenon of jaw bone loss. In turn, this method is reasonably priced, suitable for many people's economic conditions and can be used for 5-7 years or more.
Dental implants Of all the methods of making false fangs, dental implants are the most modern and effective solution. Accordingly, the doctor will directly attach the Implant post with Titanium material into the jawbone at the place of the missing tooth, then attach the porcelain tooth on top. As a result, patients do not need to grind their teeth, and do not adversely affect neighboring teeth. The condition of resorption of molars or tooth displacement, re-doing teeth after a period of time is no longer a thing to worry about.
Normally, the time from the start to the completion of dental implants is quite long, from 3-4 months. Along with outstanding quality, this method has a higher cost than other methods, requiring careful consideration and thought by the patient. Besides, the quality of teeth also depends on the qualifications of the doctor, the quality of the implant being implanted and a number of other factors.
