When
only a few teeth are pulled out, a fixed type treatment using two
natural teeth on each side is applied. This treatment requires
cutting a little from healthy teeth on both sides. But the results
of this treatment, known as "bridge" are quite satisfying.
Once implanted teeth get assimilated into the natural teeth, they
are quite similar to real ones.
Next, in the case of many teeth being pulled out, detachable
dentures are adopted. When all of the teeth are removed, full
dentures are used. Unfortunately these dentures leave a sense of a
foreign body.
However, with the improvement of living conditions, the desire to
pursue more pleasant activities is getting stronger. A pleasant life
without health is meaningless. It is very natural that we strive for
the best in healthy when it comes to our health.
In this regard, recent dental science has accomplished a great
revolution by developing long awaited treatments that do not require
a cutting of the leftover natural teeth and treat natural teeth
after many teeth are removed.
This treatment is called implants. Implants are more advanced teeth
than dentures. But this practice requires precise examinations such
as patient indication, or general physical check-ups etc., as they
go with surgery.
In spite of that, in the 21st century's senior society, this
treatment might achieve the ideal of modern dentistry, which is that
natural teeth are being used for good talks over meals and keeping
one's youthful appearance.
