Partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth. They rely on existing teeth to hold them in place, therefore it is very important that the remaining teeth be in good working order to enable the partial denture to clip onto them.
There are many different types of partial dentures, such as acrylic (plastic), metal, and even flexible. Each type has its own design advantages and disadvantages. Although they may look different and are constructed out of different materials, they all share a common way in how they are held in place, which includes the use of clasps that wrap around the remaining teeth.
At The Denture Clinic, we offer many types of partial dentures to cater to the needs and wants of our patients. We have partial dentures for those who are budget conscious, to those who want the very best, and even for those who may have metal or acrylic allergies.
An increasing trend at The Denture Clinic is the use of dental implants to retain a partial denture. This is a tried and tested solution that allows for the design of a partial denture to be free from unsightly clasps. The benefit allows for the remaining natural teeth to be left undisturbed.
