Permanent or removable dentures?
Cost of dentures, free dentures, Chinese dentures, cheap dentures – common queries, but the most important question is: permanent or removable?
Patients are often faced with a choice among different types of dentures, either removable ones or ones that stay in the mouth. Here the pros and cons at a glance:
–
Permanent
Pros: comfortable, looks better, good for your self-esteem
Cons: usually very expensive
-
Removable
Pros: usually cheaper
Cons: a reminder that you’re getting “older”, does not look as good, you run around the hospital toothless
-
Removable dentures are often touted as being easier to clean, but this is not exactly true: both kinds can be cleaned if you do it right. Of course, the kind your dentist uses more often will be the kind they are better at and recommend.
-
It’s fair to say that if you already have removable dentures and are happy with them, then you can go ahead and save your money. Get a new set from a dentist who recommends them. If you prefer permanent dentures, then look for a dentist who prefers them too!
