Tailored Solutions for Missing Teeth
When you’re missing one or more teeth, a removable partial denture can be precisely crafted to meet your specific needs. These dentures not only restore your natural appearance and speech clarity but also enhance your ability to eat efficiently.
Our dentists ensure that the chewing forces are evenly distributed across the remaining teeth and soft tissues to maintain balance and oral health. In some cases, adjustments to your remaining teeth may be recommended to ensure a comfortable placement.
Types and Materials
Partial dentures are crafted from either a metal and acrylic composition or entirely from acrylic. The design of your partial denture is customized to your needs and oral anatomy, with a focus on creating a self-cleansing denture that preserves your remaining teeth and oral tissues. They can be made of:
- Metal: These are generally preferred due to their structural superiority. Metal partial dentures are thinner and more hygienic compared to acrylic ones.
- Acrylic: Acrylic partials are typically used as transitional or temporary solutions. Our doctors will consult with you to determine the most suitable partial denture for your specific situation.
Benefits of Partial Dentures
- Stabilize Natural Teeth: Partial dentures help limit the movement of your existing natural teeth, preventing them from shifting out of place.
- Improved Chewing: With partial dentures, you can grind and chew food more effectively, contributing to better digestion and overall health.
