Reviews
7 years ago I put a butterfly and never regretted it, because she sits perfectly and does not bring any inconvenience. Caring for the product is simple, and it is very important for me. Of course, I would choose an implant, but I have no such means.
I had a tooth removed several years ago, because of which all the other teeth gradually shifted. I had a year to vilify braces, after which the doctor advised to use a removable denture. This is the best option, because I categorically do not want to grind out the neighboring teeth.
Recently, due to injury, I lost my front tooth. The doctor advised to put a butterfly as a temporary measure. He said that the product can be used and constantlybut I'm not so sure. It seems to me that the butterfly is not sitting tightly.
Immediat dentures have gained tremendous distribution due to ease of use and care, as well as an affordable price. Such products help to restore the integrity of the dentition, without resorting to serious surgical interventions.
