Dentures
WHAT ARE REMOVABLE DENTURES?
Removable dentures are a method to help restore lost teeth, including removable jaw frames or removable dentures. Currently there are two types: removable teeth on plastic and remov-able teeth on metal. Depending on each person’s needs and dental condition, the doctor will advise on the most suitable type of teeth.
The removable dental implant method can be applied to the loss of one tooth, multiple teeth or even the loss of the entire jaw. Corresponding to the case of losing 1 tooth, a removable den-ture will be made; If the entire jaw is lost, full removable dentures will be made.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF DENTURES
• It is no coincidence that the method of making removable dentures is chosen by many people. Because this method has outstanding advantages such as:
• Denture material is safe for the body, does not cause irritation, and does not cause side ef-fects.
• Ensures basic daily chewing needs, helping the digestive process to be more stable.
• The method does not affect real teeth and does not affect the jawbone. Therefore, roasting ham with herbs is an extremely suitable method for the elderly, when their health is no longer as good as before.
• Extracting teeth for cleaning is quite easy. Or if you find it difficult to sleep, you can also remove the denture.
• Easily removed for teeth cleaning
• The implementation time is quick, it only takes about 2-3 days for you to have a new set of teeth.
• Lowest cost among current methods of making dentures.
However, the method of making removable dentures also has some disadvantages such as: low lifespan, not preventing jaw bone loss and limitations when eating hard, chewy foods.
COMMON TYPES OF REMOVABLE DENTURES TODAY
1. Metal frame removable dentures
For patients with partial tooth loss, this is the most suitable choice. With a solid connection between the metal frame and real teeth in the jaw, you don’t need to worry about them falling out. Furthermore, metal frame removable dentures are also highly durable so they can be used for many years, and chewing function is also improved. However, this type of denture can cause real teeth to shrink, which will later cause pain and discomfort.
2. Removable denture made of regular plastic
At Unistar Dental, regular plastic dentures are also used. This type of denture has a low cost, so it is chosen by many patients. Besides, the implementation process is also quite quick and simple. However, this line is quite loose, causing users to feel inconvenient when chewing or ex-perience some other dental problems if they do not know how to preserve it.
3. Removable denture made of flexible plastic
Using removable plastic dentures, patients can be more assured about reliability because this type of denture fits more closely to the gums. The jaw possesses a flexible design so it can be applied to both partial and complete tooth loss cases. Plastic dentures are also low cost and easy to clean. However, this type of denture is quite bulky and easily damaged.
4. Removable denture on Implant
This type of denture is supported by implant posts that act as tooth roots. With this type of jaw, patients can comfortably eat and chew like real teeth without worrying about the jaw moving.
Not only that, removable dentures on implant posts also bring high aesthetics. Therefore, this type of denture has a high cost and long restoration time.
5. Attach removable dentures
The attached removable denture is combined with brackets linked to the remaining real teeth to help stabilize the jawbone. When using this type of jaw, you will have a solid chewing feeling. The durability of the jaw is also quite high but the price is more expensive than plastic jaws.
