Nylon dentures

A nylon denture is a convenient removable denture for teeth that can serve as a better alternative to fixed structures in some cases. A flexible nylon denture can be used to cover up cracked or missing teeth and protect existing teeth from wear and damage.

In Odessa, the installation of nylon dentures is possible in the clinic of family dentistry “Dent-House”. The clinic has a dental laboratory, which allows for quick production of individual dentures based on jaw impressions.

Varieties of nylon dentures in Odessa

Nylon dentures are considered removable, but there are also partially removable designs. In this case, the appliance is additionally attached to the jaw by locks or clasps.

Hypoallergenic polymers – for example Acry Free – are used to manufacture these designs.

Dentures can be either for the entire dentition or for individual, most vulnerable teeth. Fully removable dentures are fitted in the case of complete missing teeth.

Nylon denture fitting process

The first fitting of the denture is supervised by a dentist. The dentist will explain how to place and remove the denture correctly, how to care for it, and what to remember when using it.

After the initial appointment, where the patient’s mouth is examined and the condition of their teeth is assessed, the dentist takes a personalised impression of the jaw to take to the dental laboratory.

In the laboratory, a quality nylon prosthesis is manufactured in a few days and can be worn for several years if the structure is properly maintained.

Indications and contraindications for installation

Perhaps the main indication for any removable denture is the threat of compromised tooth integrity. A more detailed list is as follows:

• complete adentia;
• the first stages of periodontal disease;
• participation in martial arts competitions (some athletes are recommended by medical professionals to have nylon prostheses because of their good strength);
• the need for fixation and aesthetic treatment of teeth when an implant is not possible.

There are few contraindications – they are all the same for removable dentures: the last stages of periodontal disease, as well as inflammatory gum disease.

Advantages and disadvantages of this design

Nylon structures are flexible yet durable – they fulfil the chewing and aesthetic function well and are not very demanding to maintain. Nylon dentures are also completely hypoallergenic due to the use of safe materials.

In addition, nylon designs look realistic enough that you won’t be embarrassed to flash your smile.

Of the disadvantages, perhaps only the increased load on the gums during regular chewing can be singled out.

Proper care of nylon dentures

Care of such constructions is quite simple and does not require additional knowledge or skills.

It is enough to abandon a hard brush in favour of a soft one, and replace toothpaste with coarse particles with a “soft” composition. In addition, the removable denture should be rinsed after every meal and soaked in a special disinfectant once a day for a certain period of time.

Regular visits to the dentist are considered an important part of preventing complications – at the very least, they are necessary to ensure that the denture is being used correctly and does not compromise the condition of the remaining teeth.

By the way, it is absolutely not necessary to remove the nylon prosthesis at night – as a rule, it is quite securely fixed, so getting it stuck or lost in sleep is excluded.
