Partial Dentures
Partial Dentures are recommended by your dentist when a few or more of your natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw. A partial denture, sometimes known as a bridge, has the replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum colored plastic base and is connected to a metal framework that holds the denture in the mouth. This removable gum colored plastic is can be conveniently removed by the base, so you will be able to take the Partial Denture out of your mouth while brushing your teeth or flossing. Advancements in technology have made it possible to get partial dentures without the metal clasp:
- A partial denture with precision attachments is preferred for comfort
- Precision attachments are virtually invisible compared to the metal clasp so are more aesthetically pleasing
- The cost is more than the dentures with metal clasps so consult with Dr. Harris on which solution is the right one for you
- Partial dentures are necessary when one or more teeth need replacement
- These Partial dentures may be fixed or removable. This prosthetic replacement is for one or more missing teeth and will restore your natural smile. Don’t hesitate if you are missing or have lost one or more of your teeth! We can help bring back that perfect smile with partial dentures.
