Fixed Teeth
Fixed teeth refer to dental restorations that are permanently attached or cemented in place and cannot be removed by the patient. This includes dental implants, dental crowns, dental bridges, and some types of orthodontic appliances.
Removable Teeth
Removable teeth refer to dental restorations that can be easily removed by the patient for cleaning and maintenance. This includes dentures, partial dentures, and some types of orthodontic appliances, such as clear aligners.
The choice between fixed and removable teeth depends on several factors, including the patient’s individual needs, the extent of the dental problem being treated, the condition of the surrounding teeth and gums, and the patient’s budget. In some cases, a combination of fixed and removable teeth may be recommended to achieve the best possible outcome.
Your dentist can provide guidance on the best type of dental restoration for your individual needs and can help you prepare for and maintain your treatment. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene habits and to visit your dentist regularly to ensure the long-term success of your dental restorations.
