5 false myths that we at Udemax Group debunk about dental prostheses

Prostheses, as well as dental implants, allow many patients to recover the aesthetics of their mouth and, above all, their health after having lost one or more pieces of their teeth. However, the lack of information surrounding this subject leads to the appearance of myths that can cause confusion to those who are considering opting for this solution. For this reason, Udemax Group exposes the truth about them.

• Only older people can wear them. Dentures can be used by all people who have completed their bone development. The age at which this is calculated to occur is 18 years of age, so there is no limit of any kind after this age. In fact, problems caused by fractures or serious dental trauma involving the loss of one or more teeth can occur at any age, which is why prostheses are a solution, from the age of majority, that should be taken into account.

• It is essential to have a large jaw bone. No two dentures are the same because they are never created from a common mould. Udemax Group creates the prosthesis from the measurements taken from a customised impression of the jaw and mouth. In addition, by adjusting to each patient, it will not cause a change in the patient’s appearance.

• They last a lifetime. Dentures last a very long time, but they are not indestructible. They need to be cared for as much as teeth, as misuse and improper cleaning can worsen their appearance and alter the fit. Maintaining proper oral hygiene with us can prevent diseases such as mucositis, which causes inflammation of the tissues. Patients should take care of their mouth and periodically visit their specialist at our Udemax Group clinics to maintain a proper prosthesis.
