Do you wear removable dentures?
Why do we at Sonrisa Para Todos always recommend a fixed prosthetic treatment instead of a removable one?
If you use a removable dental prosthesis, or you are thinking of restoring your missing teeth through this type of treatment, these are some factors to take into account and decide for a better option as a fixed prosthetic treatment such as dental crowns, bridges or dental implants.
Removable prostheses are a prosthetic treatment that may be more economical than a fixed treatment, but it has certain disadvantages to take into account that could make you change your mind:
- They have hooks and visible metal parts that are not very esthetic for the patient.
- It exerts greater pressure on the remaining teeth which, if not managed correctly, can cause damage in the medium and short term that may imply the extraction of the remaining teeth.
- They are uncomfortable for chewing food.
- Many patients report that it makes them want to vomit and greatly increases salivation.
- It is necessary to adapt them or make a new one from time to time as they no longer fit properly.
- In some cases, special adhesive pastes are required to hold and adapt these prostheses.
- They can produce lesions in the oral mucosa.
- They do not prevent alveolar bone loss in areas where there are no teeth.

To avoid these prosthetic disadvantages and in order to offer an effective, highly esthetic and long lasting treatment, in Sonrisa Para Todos we only perform fixed prosthetic treatments through dental crowns, fixed bridges and dental implant treatments which are treatments that are much more similar to a natural tooth not only in aesthetics but also in comfort and chewing function. Likewise, through the application of dental implant treatments we prevent the loss of alveolar bone which is so important to maintain facial fullness.
In order to determine the best fixed prosthetic treatment to apply according to each particular case, it is necessary and essential to perform a clinical and radiographic assessment of each patient using a 3D tomography that allows us to evaluate in detail the condition of the teeth and to measure the amount of alveolar bone present and thus be able to offer a specialized treatment plan tailored to the needs of each particular patient.

In Sonrisa Para Todos we are aware of the needs to afford this type of treatment, that is why our costs are based on the minimum authorized by the College of Dental Surgeons and we offer different payment methods and financing according to each treatment plan, as well as internal financing with our clinic for dental implant treatments.
