If you have lost many teeth at once and cannot get a fixed dental bridge, you must choose denture reconstruction. However, financial expenses are a big problem, which often makes many patients hesitate and find it difficult to make a decision. They don’t want to have teeth missing for too long and cause serious problems in bite and eating. Now, follow a professional dentist to find out at once, there are three common ways to solve the problem of a large number of missing teeth: "removable dentures", "dental implants with removable dentures", and "dental implants with fixed dentures", each with their own advantages and disadvantages.

Among the three methods, "removable dentures" can be called an ancient dental technology. It mainly uses metal hooks to hook on the remaining teeth, and the removable dentures directly rest on the toothless gums.

Lin Zongyou, a specialist in dentures at the Modern Dental Digital Dental Implant Center, said that the problem with "removable dentures" is that it is difficult to balance comfort and functionality. The remaining teeth bear a heavy load and are difficult to clean and maintain on a daily basis. Without good design and regular follow-up visits, patients may eventually slowly become toothless.

"Dental implants paired with removable dentures" solves the embarrassment and discomfort of removable dentures floating in the mouth. Lin Zongyou said that partial dental implants plus removable clasps are paired with removable dentures (implant overdentures). Since the number of implants is relatively small and the cost is relatively low, it is the most economical option. It also solves the insurmountable shortcomings of traditional removable dentures.

▲For reconstruction of extensively missing teeth, it is recommended to find a doctor who is professionally trained in dentures. The treatment method can be customized according to each person's oral and bite conditions.
