Removable Partial Denture
A removable partial denture replaces multiple missing teeth
in either the upper or lower jaw. This replacement of missing
teeth is necessary in order to restore your mouth to its
original functioning condition and maintain normal facial
contour. If a condition of missing teeth is left untreated, the
remaining teeth may drift. Drifting teeth can lead to a bad
occlusion (bite), additional decay and possible gum and bone
problems.
Each partial denture is precisely made to fit an
individual's unique situation. It is designed to be removable.
The partial denture is held with clasps that are
comfortably fit around a select few of your remaining teeth . A
partial denture is cosmetically designed to hide all metal
whenever possible. The artificial teeth and guns are colored to
match an individual's natural teeth and gums.
Partial Dentures can be made by a variety of techniques and
with a variety of denture materials, which will affect the
wearing characteristics and the cost of denture care.
