Many treatment methods are applied in dentistry in order to compensate for your tooth loss and to recover your damaged teeth. However, you should not forget that treating a tooth loss without delay is necessary and very important for your oral health. Missing teeth leads to nutritional disorders and this causes your problem to turn into general health problems over time rather than just oral health. At the same time, tooth loss can negatively affect even your simplest actions, from communicating with proper pronunciation to smiling healthfully. One of the most important reasons why you should not delay your treatment in case of tooth loss is that tooth loss threatens even your healthy teeth by forcing your teeth to change their positions. For all these reasons, in this text, we will answer the question: ‘Can Prostheses be Attached Permanently?’, which is frequently asked by our patients before they receive prosthesis treatments, by examining the prostheses that we apply as one of the treatment methods in tooth loss.
If you are not completely familiar with prostheses or if you need to receive detailed information about them, you should know that you can have permanent prostheses. This option constitutes one of the many treatment methods that we can apply in case you suffer from missing or damaged teeth. Permanent fixed prostheses can be placed over your natural teeth or implants. Following your treatment, thanks to your permanent prostheses, you can perform your nutritional activities safely as you would do with your natural teeth.
In comparison with classical implants, permanent prostheses require a shorter operation period. In addition to this, your healing process will be also very fast. Furthermore, permanent prostheses will offer you the opportunity to eat and talk more comfortably compared to removable prostheses. Permanent prostheses assure that the power you spend during the feeding is evenly distributed. They are long lasting and robust. In addition to all of the above-listed advantages, the maintenance of your permanent prostheses is pretty simple. They do not need to be removed for cleaning.
In order to use your prosthesis for a long time without any problem, it is essential to pay attention to your general oral care. Inadequate oral hygiene causes gum diseases and as a result of this, your prosthesis is affected negatively. For this reason, we recommend you to brush your teeth at least 2 times a day with a toothbrush that is suitable for your mouth and tooth structure and to use products such as dental floss and mouthwash. For this, you can make use of special dental floss and prosthetic toothbrushes that can be easily found and purchased in pharmacies. Moreover, abrasive powders should not be used for cleaning your prosthesis.
Many patients neglect oral care following their prosthesis treatments as a result of the misconception that permanent fixed prostheses are not damaged or decayed over time. Of course, the prostheses themselves do not show any decay; however, in case you neglect your general oral care, gum recession will occur since the bacteria found in the gums are failed to be cleaned sufficiently. In this case, caries may occur in the certain specified parts and the teeth under your dental veneers may become visible. In short, it is quite important to pay attention to your general oral hygiene in order to use your prosthesis comfortably and for a long time.
