Partial Dentures
What are Partial Dentures?
If you have one or more of your own natural teeth remaining, a removable partial denture can be considered. A partial denture replacement is made up of a gum-coloured plastic base connected to a metal framework. This framework clips onto the remaining natural teeth to hold the denture in place in the mouth.
In some cases, a fixed bridge, also known as a fixed partial denture, can also be considered as a treatment option when adjacent natural teeth are there to support the bridge. A dental bridge is considered permanent because it is cemented into place and is not removable. The advantage of the fixed partial denture is that it stays securely in place.
We look forward to hearing from you soon. Call North Main Family Dental at (403) 980-0056 to set up a new Partial Dentures appointment today!
Reasons for a partial denture include:
- Replace missing teeth
- Improve ability to chew more naturally
- Chew food with confidence
- Make it possible to eat certain favourite foods
- Maintain a healthier and socially acceptable mouth
- Aids in the preservation of remaining natural teeth
- Help prevent or treat problems of the TMJ (the jaw joint)
- Often improve speech
- It helps you develop a more pleasing and confident smile
- Support the face – – often with a more youthful appearance
- Enhance self-esteem
- An economical way to replace missing teeth
- Many times, an additional tooth may be added to an existing partial denture if a natural tooth is lost
- In most cases, crowning teeth is not necessary to fit a partial denture
- Partial dentures are usually easy to repair if they are broken
Are There Alternatives to Dentures?
Yes, there are alternatives to dentures! Dental Implants can now be used to support permanently cemented bridges, thereby eliminating the need for a denture. In the case of a poorly fitting full denture, dental implants can also be used to create better support for the denture.
Unfortunately, not everyone is a good candidate for an implant-supported bridge or implant-supported denture. If you would like to explore the potential for implants supported denture solutions, we would be happy to discuss this with you during your denture consultation.
