Partial Dentures
Partial Dentures are used when you still have some natural teeth remaining, but need to fill in gaps left by missing teeth. A partial denture is a removable appliance that completes your smile by replacing the teeth that are missing, while also preventing your existing natural teeth from shifting into those empty spaces. This helps maintain proper alignment of your teeth and supports your facial structure.
We offer several types of partial denture designs to best suit your situation:
• Acrylic Partial Dentures: These have a pink acrylic base with replacement teeth and are often used as a transitional or cost-effective solution. They are slightly bulkier but can be made quickly and adjusted easily.
• Cast Metal Partial Dentures: Built on a custom-fitted metal framework (usually chrome-cobalt), these partials are thinner, stronger, and more durable. The metal framework clasps onto certain remaining teeth for stability, offering a secure and long-lasting fit.
• Flexible Partial Dentures: Made from a lightweight, thermoplastic nylon resin (such as Valplast), flexible partials contain no metal. They are ultra-thin and very flexible, which can provide extra comfort for chewing and speaking. The gum-colored base and clasps blend in with your natural tissue for improved aesthetics. Flexible dentures are a great option if you’re allergic to acrylic or metal, or simply want a gentler, more flexible feel.
When you come in for a consultation, Stepan Holovchak will examine your oral condition and discuss which type of partial denture is best for you. Our goal is to create a partial denture that fits comfortably, looks natural, and restores your ability to bite and smile with confidence. With a well-made partial denture, you’ll be able to enjoy your meals and smile freely, knowing your remaining teeth are protected and your smile is complete.
Do you still have some, but not all, of your natural teeth?
A partial denture replaces one or more missing natural teeth and is customized to a patient’s individual needs. Removable partial dentures restore a person’s natural appearance and greatly improve the ability to chew and speak clearly.
Type and style of partial dentures There can be many possible combinations of missing teeth. A Denturist will approach each situation on a case by case basis. Using current technological advancements, a Denturist can offer a wide variety of partial denture designs and materials to solve each individual’s oral situation. Missing teeth should not be ignored.
The benefits of partial dentures are designed to be removable for ease of cleaning. A partial denture may prevent your natural teeth from shifting. In fact, a partial denture may help maintain the position of your natural teeth by providing them with additional support.
