Partial Denture

A partial denture replaces one or more teeth and will help prevent your natural teeth from shifting or drifting into the space left by the loss of a natural tooth. We can also work closely with your dentist to develop a treatment plan and style of partial denture that best fits your dental needs.

The position, stability and number of remaining teeth are only a few of the factors that help to determine what type of partial denture would be best for you. Partials can be made of different materials, including acrylics, a metal/acrylic combination or flexible thermoplastics.

Acrylic partials are usually used as a transitional or temporary replacement of missing teeth and can incorporate metal clasps into the design.

The metal/acrylic partial, commonly called a cast partial, is usually a more rigid and permanent style of denture. The metal is either a highly compatible chrome cobalt alloy or titanium, which are both ultra thin, light and very strong.

The flexible thermoplastic partials have the advantage of flexibility to increase stability and are a great choice for those customers who have allergies and whom are trying to avoid intraoral metals, but may not be suitable for all situations. Also, some designs can incorporate a metal base to increase the partials strength and use the flexible acrylic clasps to elevate the look of metal clasping.

With a partial denture, you’ll look better, feel better and chew better.
