Partial Dentures
For The Look You Always Wanted
Partial dentures are removable prosthetics designed to replace some missing natural teeth. They can fit securely around the remaining natural teeth and improve chewing efficiency and aesthetics. They can prevent the shifting of natural teeth and maintain proper bite alignment. With regular care and dental check-ups, partial dentures offer a durable and effective solution for individuals with a few missing teeth, promoting improved oral health and overall well-being.
What does it involve?
The process of obtaining partial dentures typically begins with a comprehensive dental examination and assessment of the patient's oral health. Denturist Tricia Thobaben takes impressions of the patient's mouth, which serve as a basis for creating a customized metal or acrylic framework that will hold the artificial teeth. This framework is carefully designed to fit securely in the mouth, blending seamlessly with the remaining natural teeth. Once the framework is prepared, artificial teeth that closely match the color and shape of the patient's natural teeth are attached. The partial dentures are then adjusted for proper fit, ensuring comfort and functionality.
How does it work?
The metal or acrylic framework anchors to the remaining natural teeth and can aid in chewing, speaking and cosmetic gaps in missing dentition. With proper care, including regular cleaning and dental check-ups, partial dentures are a durable and effective solution for individuals with a limited number of missing teeth, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits to enhance overall oral health.
