Partial dentures are removable appliances that replace one or more missing teeth when you still have some healthy natural teeth left. They fill in the gaps and use your existing teeth and gums for support.
Who needs partial dentures?
If you're missing several teeth but still have some remaining, a partial denture is a cost-effective way to restore function and appearance without surgery.
What are they made of?
Cast metal framework: The most durable option, with a thin metal base that sits comfortably in your mouth and clasps that grip onto your natural teeth for stability.
Acrylic (all-plastic): A more affordable, lightweight option. Good for temporary use or as a transitional appliance.
Flexible material: A newer option that uses a soft, flexible resin. It's more comfortable and less noticeable, but may not last as long.
How do they stay in place?
Partial dentures use small metal or plastic clasps that hook onto your remaining natural teeth. Some modern designs use precision attachments that are nearly invisible.
