    PARTIAL DENTURES, FULL SMILE

    PARTIAL DENTURES, FULL SMILE

    Dentures can come in many shapes and sizes depending upon your specific needs. Partial dentures replace one tooth or smaller sections of teeth so you can preserve your remaining teeth and prevent jaw issues. Partial dentures fill in any gaps in your teeth, giving you a full smile and restoring your mouth's function. Partial dentures are important to preserving your smile because gaps allow teeth to drift out of alignment, and misalignment can cause bone loss, an uneven bite, and even jaw problems.

    Be aware that partial dentures may require adjustments and repairs as your jaw bone shrinks, the denture clasps get loose from normal wear-and-tear, or your dentures get chipped or cracked. You should never, ever, try to adjust your partial dentures yourself. Reach out to us for denture repair and reline.

      ADVANTAGES OF PARTIAL DENTURES

      Partial dentures offer several benefits, including:

      • Jaw structure: Missing teeth cause your remaining teeth to shift and loosen up over time, altering your jaw structure and even causing bone loss. Partial dentures can help prevent this and help you maintain your appearance.
      • Talking and chewing: When you lose your teeth, simple tasks such as talking and chewing can become uncomfortable. Partial dentures will help restore the functioning of your teeth so that you can live your life like usual.
      • Convenience: Most partial dentures are removable, making them easy to clean and maintain. Additionally, you can adjust your partial dentures as your needs change over time.
      TYPES OF DENTURES

      TYPES OF DENTURES

      Depending on your needs, there are different types of partial dentures you can consider, including:

      • Acrylic partial dentures: The replacement teeth will go over an acrylic base.
      • Cast metal partial dentures: A metal base will hold the replacement teeth.
      • Flexible partial dentures: These dentures consist of a thermoplastic material moulded to your gum tissues.

      WHO IS A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR PARTIAL DENTURES?

      Partial dentures offer a comfortable and natural-looking solution for individuals missing some, but not all, of their teeth. If you're considering partial, here's a guide to help you determine if they're the right choice for you:


      Missing Teeth

      The most obvious factor is the number and location of missing teeth. Partial dentures are ideal for replacing multiple missing teeth spread throughout the mouth, particularly when these gaps disrupt chewing or speech. For instance, if you're missing a few front teeth due to an accident or decay, a partial denture can restore your smile's aesthetics and functionality.


      Healthy Remaining Teeth

      Partial dentures rely on the support of your existing healthy teeth. These teeth act as anchors, holding the denture securely in place. If your remaining teeth are weak, decayed, or have significant gum disease, they may not be strong enough to support the partial denture. In such cases, your denturist may recommend addressing these issues with treatments like fillings, crowns, or root canals before proceeding with partial dentures.


      Strong Jawbone and Gums

      A healthy jawbone and gum tissue are crucial for successful partial denture wear. The jawbone provides a stable foundation for the denture, while healthy gums ensure a comfortable fit and prevent slippage. If you have significant bone loss or gum recession, your denturist will assess the need for bone grafting or gum tissue procedures before recommending partial dentures.
