Installation of silicone prostheses
This prosthetic technology is innovative, so patients have some discomfort when wearing removable dental designs. Before installing them, it is advisable to evaluate other options for prosthetics.
Silicone prostheses are attached with clasps, which are fixed to the abutment teeth. If the structure has nothing to attach, then implants are implanted into the bone, they become a support for removable teeth.
Life time

- daily care of the design with a brush with a paste will help preserve the color and save it from bacteria multiplication in the form of a soft coating;
- before using the denture in the morning need to thoroughly clean the mouth soft brush to improve blood circulation.
The price of silicone dentures
The cost of construction depends on its size and type. Moscow prices are somewhat more expensive than regional ones.
