Partial dentures are designed to restore function and appearance of your smile, much like full dentures. Our dental team customizes each partial denture to fit your mouth precisely, ensuring a comfortable and natural feel.
Benefits of Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are an excellent option for those who have lost some teeth but still have healthy natural teeth remaining. These custom-made oral appliances are crafted to fill the gaps in your smile, helping to restore both your smile’s aesthetics and the functionality of your teeth. Partial dentures also play a crucial role in preserving your remaining natural teeth by preventing them from shifting, while also supporting your cheeks and lips to maintain your facial structure.
A typical partial denture consists of replacement teeth attached to an acrylic base, which is secured with a thin framework or clasps that latch onto your natural teeth for stability. Initially, your partial denture may feel slightly awkward or uncomfortable, but as your mouth adjusts, it will become comfortable and natural to wear.
To ensure the longevity and proper function of your partial denture, it’s important to follow all care instructions provided by our dental team. Avoid forcing your denture into place by biting down, as this can bend or break the clasps and potentially damage your remaining teeth.
