PARTIAL DENTURES

What is a partial denture?

When there are multiple missing teeth these dentures are used to fill in the gaps with replacement teeth.

They have a pick acrylic (gum part) base on top of which the replacement teeth are fixed; this is then assembled in a metal framework.

Partial Dentures offer many benefits in patients with missing teeth.

• Improve chewing efficacy
• Prevent bone loss
• Provides support to the surrounding facial structures, improving the facial appearance
