Removable Partial Dentures
Removable partial dentures are an affordable and versatile option for filling gaps in your smile while improving your chewing and speaking abilities. If you're missing several teeth or just one, our team of dental professionals is dedicated to helping you find the best option to suit your needs.
What Are Removable Partial Dentures?
Removable partial dentures consist of a gum-colored base that supports artificial teeth, designed to complement your natural smile.
These dentures are held in place by metal clasps or precision attachments, anchoring to any remaining natural teeth in your mouth. As a result, they’re an excellent choice for patients who have some healthy teeth left in either the upper or lower jaw.
Types of Removable Partial Dentures
Cast Metal Removable Partial Dentures
The most common and durable option, cast metal partial dentures feature a metal framework made from a strong cobalt-chromium alloy. They attach securely to your natural teeth using metal clasps or more discreet precision attachments.
Flexible removable partial dentures
Unlike traditional rigid dentures, these lightweight prosthetics are made from durable, flexible materials that adapt naturally to the contours of your mouth.
Flexible dentures are also resistant to breakage and easy to maintain, providing both practicality and aesthetics.
Benefits of Choosing Removable Partial Dentures
- Improved chewing and speaking abilities, allowing you to eat a variety of foods with ease.
- Boosted self-esteem, letting you speak and smile without hesitation.
- More budget-friendly compared to fixed bridges or implant-supported dentures.
- Since more teeth can be added as needed, they’re a flexible solution.
- Easier to adjust to than complete dentures.
The Removable Partial Denture Process
The process of getting removable partial dentures begins with an examination, where we assess your oral health and determine if you’re a right candidate for the treatment.
Once confirmed, we take detailed impressions of your teeth and gums to create a custom model that serves as the foundation for your new dentures. Next, we craft a trial version of the partial denture, allowing you to try it on and making modifications if necessary.
When we’re satisfied with the fit, the final denture is cast and prepared for you. At your final appointment, we make sure the denture feels comfortable, making any last-minute adjustments.
To ensure the best long-term results, follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor how well you're adapting to your new dentures and to address any concerns.
