Insert teeth: an overview of all methods of dental restoration

Review of modern technologies that allow you to insert teeth

Just 30 years ago, there was only one way to replace lost teeth—prosthetics, and patients were offered crowns made of heavy and unesthetic materials—various metal alloys. And no one was embarrassed by the sight of metal teeth in the smile area. Nowadays, you can insert teeth in such a way that no stranger will even guess that you have a crown or prosthesis in your mouth, and not your natural teeth - to do this, just choose crowns made of metal-ceramics, ceramics or zirconium dioxide.

Teeth can be replaced using dentures or implantation. Both technologies are universal and applicable both for single restorations (in the absence of 1-4 teeth) and for completely toothless jaws.

It is important to understand that implantation does not exclude the stage of prosthetics, however, the crown in this case is not placed on the supporting tooth, but on the abutment of the implant implanted into the jaw bone.

How can you insert teeth in your case? The answer to this question will depend on how many teeth you are missing:

1. If you have teeth, but are severely damaged, you may be offered prosthetic crowns or immediate implantation.

2. If only one tooth is missing in a row, it can be inserted either by installing a denture (bridge) or by implantation. The latter method will be preferable, as it will allow the tooth to be inserted without affecting healthy teeth. The implanted implant will serve as a support for the crown.

3. If a large number of teeth, or even all teeth, are missing in the rows, they can be inserted using removable dentures or dentures on implants.

IMPORTANT: On the Internet you can find many reviews from people who decided to have teeth inserted and subsequently encountered various complications - from pain to prosthesis breakage or implant rejection. There is only one reason for such reviews - poor quality treatment. Therefore, if you decide to have teeth inserted, do not be lazy to spend time carefully choosing the clinic where you will have your teeth inserted.

Both during prosthetics and implantation, you may be offered to insert teeth with different types of dentures and crowns. Let's look at the features, pros and cons of all possible options.

Caring for removable dentures after prosthetics

After completion of removable dentures, the patient needs to carry out regular daily care of removable dentures. If this is not done or done irregularly, the structure will quickly become unusable or become a source of infection. Partial and complete removable dentures are more difficult to care for than fixed dentures. Necessary:

• remove the structure twice a day, wash it, clean it with a toothbrush with soft bristles and toothpaste without abrasive properties; put on after rinsing the mouth with an antiseptic;
• After each meal, rinse your mouth with water, and it is better to also remove and rinse the denture with water;
• For the first few days, it is better not to remove the structure at night; when the main adaptation period has passed, it can be removed and placed overnight in a special container with a disinfectant solution (tablets for preparing a disinfectant solution are sold at the pharmacy);
• Every 6 months cleaning should be done professionally in your dentist's office.
• If any complaints arise that require consultation with a dentist, the device must be worn for at least three hours in a row so that the cause of the discomfort is clear to the doctor.

Insert teeth with metal-ceramic crowns

You can inexpensively replace teeth with metal-ceramic crowns. Such dental prostheses have a metal base and are covered with a layer of ceramic mass on top. This is done so that the finished crown has a natural and aesthetic appearance.

Metal-ceramic crowns are used in both traditional prosthetics and implantation, however, if you need to insert a front tooth, this option of dentures is not suitable. The fact is that the metal from which the base of the crown is made oxidizes over time and this reaction can cause the gums to appear blue in the area where the crown is installed. This cyanosis will be clearly visible when smiling or talking, which of course will affect the level of aesthetics.

If you want to see what a smile will look like if you replace your teeth with metal-ceramic crowns, look at the photos we publish below.

Removable dentures - what are they?

Removable dentures are devices that partially or completely replace lost teeth. A distinctive feature of removable structures is the ability for the patient to remove and put them on independently. This feature unites all types of removable dentures with a significant variety of types and models.

Despite the advantages of modern fixed prosthetics, removable dentures also have their advantages:

• relatively low price;
• ease of manufacture and operation of the orthopedist;
• the ability to choose a manufacturing material that is suitable in price and quality;
• the ability to restore any defect in the dentition;
• lightness of the prosthesis, the ability to choose the desired shade of material;
• no need to prepare healthy teeth for prosthetics;
• the ability to repair a damaged model in a dental laboratory;
• ease of care.

Removable dentures solve the problem of restoring the aesthetic and chewing function of teeth when they are lost and it is impossible to establish a fixed model, and therefore increase the quality of human life.

Insert ceramic teeth

Inserting ceramic teeth will be the right decision if you need to restore your front teeth, which are clearly visible when communicating with people around you. But for the restoration of chewing teeth, ceramic crowns are not suitable: ceramics is a fairly fragile material and a crown made from it may not withstand the heavy load that is constantly placed on the chewing teeth when chewing food.

The high aesthetics of ceramic crowns determines the expensive prices for this type of orthopedic structures. But the patient gets a beautiful and natural smile: you can also evaluate the results of dental restoration with ceramic crowns from the photos that we have posted below. Ceramic crowns can be placed on both the abutment tooth and the implant.

Preparing for installation

Before using removable prosthetics, as with any type of prosthetics, some preparation is required. It includes:

• Sanitation of the oral cavity. The stage includes the treatment of caries, removal of mobile, damaged and untreatable teeth. Inflammatory processes, if any, are also treated.
• Taking impressions of both jaws. In any case, there are two impressions, so that when making a prosthesis, the correct bite can be maintained, and the prosthesis does not interfere with the patient’s ability to close his jaws normally.
• Making a plaster model. Based on this model, the structure is subsequently manufactured.
• Fitting and correction stage. Fitting is an important part of the process to make wearing as comfortable as possible and avoid damage to soft tissue or supporting teeth.

How to insert a tooth if there is no root?

If you have had a tooth removed, you can insert it using implantation, and this can be done immediately after the extraction procedure - using the method of one-step implantation. With this method of tooth restoration, implants are implanted directly into the socket of the extracted tooth and then a temporary prosthesis is placed on them. Simultaneous implantation will allow you to insert a tooth and not walk with an unpleasant dentition defect. The doctor will install a permanent crown on the implant abutment after it has fused with the bone - this usually takes 3-4 months.

Implantation is recognized as the most reliable and durable way to restore extracted and lost teeth, but it is not always possible to replace teeth with it - there is a fairly wide range of contraindications for this surgical operation.

How are dental implants inserted?

Implantation, in order to insert teeth, can be carried out in different ways: according to a one-stage or two-stage protocol. But its essence will always boil down to the following: in order to insert a lost tooth, the doctor will implant a special structure in the patient’s jaw - an implant, on which he will subsequently install a crown or prosthesis.

Until the stage of permanent prosthetics, you will walk with a temporary prosthesis, which is placed during one-stage implantation immediately after implantation. In two-stage implantation, immediate dentures are used to mask dentition defects.

A permanent crown or prosthesis is placed on the implant only after it has completely fused with the natural bone tissue of the jaw. Crowns for installation on an implant can be made from any material: for the restoration of front teeth, ceramic crowns are most often used, for the restoration of chewing units - products made of zirconium and metal-ceramics.

Which implantation technology should I choose to insert teeth? It is impossible to give any absentee recommendations on this matter. You need to visit the clinic, undergo an examination and diagnosis, and only after that the implantologist will offer you the optimal implantation method.

Glue and cream for fixing removable dentures

Models with suction cups sometimes require additional fixation. For this purpose, special fixing gels, adhesives and strips are produced. The decision on the use of such means is made by the orthopedist, who also selects the most suitable means and teaches the patient how to use it. The most popular means for fixation:

• Protefix (manufacturer: Queisser Pharma, Germany) – fixing cream with a strong immediate effect lasting from 8 to 12 hours; the price of a 47 g tube is about 230 rubles;
• Rox (BONYF, Liechtenstein) – fixing cream, lasts at least 12 hours, price about 250 rubles;
• Fittydent (FittyDent International, Austria) - considered one of the best fixation creams, lasts 12 hours, price for a 40 g tube is about 250 rubles.

Means for fixing prostheses

When using fixative creams, they must be applied strictly in accordance with the instructions. Most creams are used like this:

1. Rinse and dry the structure.
2. Apply a little cream to the surface of the removable denture attached to the tissue.
3. Rinse your mouth.
4. Place the removable denture on the jaw and bite hard for 5–6 seconds.

Instructions for use of fixing creams

If you need to insert a tooth after it has been removed

The best solution to insert one tooth is a one-time implantation, but a tooth can only be inserted if too much time has not passed since its removal. To firmly fix the implant in the bone, the jaw bone tissue must be dense and have a certain height. But the longer a tooth is missing, the more the bone thins and dries out. Therefore, if you had a tooth removed several years ago, you can have it replaced either with prosthetics or classical implantation.

Implantation

Implantation is the most modern method of restoring dentition, which is the implantation of a rod into the bone tissue, onto which a removable or fixed structure is attached. With all the advantages (reliable fixation, restoration of dentition of any length, aesthetics, long service life), implantation also has disadvantages:

• high price;
• high level of trauma and pain;
• likelihood of rejection;
• the likelihood of complications from the nervous system;
• a large list of contraindications.
