Da saga, a perda da prótese removível
Portugal is a country where oral health has been evolving, but the challenge of removable dentures remains widespread and continues to be very present. Every year, thousands of people of all ages face embarrassing situations such as losing their removable dentures at the beach, at dinner, or even during a simple conversation.
And it turns out that this is not a problem exclusive to the elderly, it is no longer just “the grandmother’s sign that jumped”! Any adult, at any stage of life, can face unexpected situations such as tooth loss that affect not only comfort but also self-esteem and security.
Throughout this article you will learn why removable dentures fail and how to end this problem through dental implants.

Oops, why do removable dentures jump out of the mouth?
We know that tooth loss can occur due to cavities, periodontal diseases, accidents, genetic problems or aggressive medical treatments.
Likewise, it is a fact that conventional removable dentures rarely offer the desired stability.
Simple and basic activities like talking, laughing, eating, playing sports, going to the beach can always become a risk. After all, you never know when the prosthesis can “jump”! Nel Monteiro’s iconic “bad luck on the beach” may even give rise to a new version:
Bathe us at the beach, it was you and me, but what a big fight happened to us. My prosthesis and your tooth, when at midnight nothing appeared.”
The embarrassment, both social and emotional, does appear. In addition to the discomfort, the insecurity associated with removable prostheses impairs sociability, limits feeding and can even lead to isolation.
Is there an alternative? Yes, the fixed prosthesis on implants (for all ages)
Dental medicine has evolved, and today there is no longer any reason to live in fear of losing the prosthesis at an important moment, in whatever context: on the beach, at a social event or with family.
In fact, the fixed prosthesis over implants came to provide the necessary stability. Moreover, it is comfortable and permanent, suitable for adults of all ages who have lost one or more teeth and are looking for a definitive alternative to the removable prosthesis, commonly known as denture.
5 benefits of fixed prosthesis over implants
In addition to the benefits we listed in this blog post, we have now highlighted some reasons that should lead you to consider a definitive alternative to removable prosthesis.
- Full stability, no risk of unexpected "jumps"
- Greater strength of chewing, freedom to eat and taste the food (leaving the sky open)
- Confident smile, not afraid to speak or laugh
- Ease of hygiene and maintenance
- Improving physical and emotional health, regardless of age
No matter if you lost your teeth at 30, 35, 50 or 80, the frustration is the same. But the solution is also: with dental implants, some people can retaste a sandwich on the beach, slice an apple, smile in public without shame or regain confidence at meetings and events. All this requires the right follow-up, like that of Dr. Pedro Mota.
