Healthy teeth are very important to enjoy food and eat better. At older age teeth play pivotal role to maintain general health of an individual. So it is necessary to go for a right choice of teeth replacement to be healthy.

There are generally two types of options for full mouth teeth replacement, one is denture and other is Implant supported fixed teeth.

DENTURE-

Dentures are the removable artificial teeth that are used to replace teeth. Dentures are not fixed, that is why it needs to be removed and wear every day.

IMPLANT SUPPORTED FIXED TEETH-

It is a set of teeth which is fixed in the mouth with the support of implants. Implants mimic the function of real teeth and are permanent, durable, and fixed. The titanium implant fixture fuses to the natural bone in one’s jaw through a process called osseointegration and stops bone loss.

Why implant supported fixed teeth are better choice than dentures?

There are frequent chances of ulceration with denture as it rests on tissue surface in mouth, while with Implant supported teeth there is no such problem.

Denture becomes loose with period of time so it needs to be changed, but there is no need to replace implant supported teeth periodically as implants fuse with bone of jaw.

Implant gives you feel of natural teeth while chewing, talking, smiling or laughing so it is more comfortable, easy and convenient, while denture needs special precautions during laughing or chewing.

That is why Implant supported teeth are one for all solution for replacement of your teeth compared to denture.

October 11, 2021 dr_smitesh

Most people know the importance of caring for their teeth, but did you know that taking care of your gums is just as important? Gums play an important role in the health and function of your smile. Any plaque that builds up on the teeth affects the health of your gum tissue first and can lead to the first stage of gum disease.

The mildest form of gum disease is called gingivitis. It can cause issues such as redness, swelling, bleeding gums, and sensitivity. The more serious form of gum disease is called periodontitis. It can cause more advanced issues such as gums recession, severe pain, secondary infections and tooth loss. In order to avoid the problems that come with gum disease, you need to get answers to your questions so you can take action.

What is gum disease?

Gum disease ranges in severity with gingivitis being the mild form and periodontitis being the more serious form. Gum disease can develop quickly and there are a number of factors that impact your susceptibility to developing the condition.

Gingivitis

Gingivitis is the mildest form of gum disease. Symptoms include red, swollen gums, bleeding gums, bad breath, plaque and calculus present. But no bone loss and no root exposure present in this stage. This is the only kind of gum disease that is reversible and a doctor can perform a routine cleaning.

Periodontitis

Sometimes pus discharge can be present from gums. Periodically teeth may become loose. Routine scaling with flap surgery or laser treatment is required at this stage.

If you have specific concerns about your gums, then go for a dental check-up as soon as possible to prevent the side effects of severe gum disease.
