What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth.
Unlike full dentures, which replace all teeth in a given arch, partial dentures fill in the gaps where teeth are missing, attaching to your remaining natural teeth with metal clasps or other stabilizing mechanisms.
Who Can Benefit from Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are an excellent option for anyone missing multiple teeth but who still have some healthy teeth remaining.
They’re also ideal for those who don’t qualify for implants but need a solution to fill in the gaps, improving both the appearance and function of their mouth.
How Long Do Partial Dentures Last?
With proper care and regular checkups, your partial dentures can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years. How long they last depends on things like the materials, how well you take care of them, and the health of your remaining teeth.
At Guiding Light Dental, we’ll keep an eye on your dentures to make sure they’re in great shape and continue to work well for you.
Why Choose Partial Dentures?
Here are some of the key benefits of partial dentures:
- Restored Appearance: Partial dentures help restore the natural look of your smile by filling in missing teeth.
- Improved Function: They make eating and speaking easier by filling in gaps and reducing discomfort.
- Preserve Remaining Teeth: Partial dentures can prevent your natural teeth from shifting, which can happen when there are gaps in your smile.
- Custom Fit: Every set of partial dentures is tailored to your specific needs
How to Care for My Partial Dentures?
- Always remove your dentures before going to bed and clean them with a soft brush to prevent plaque buildup.
- Use denture cleaners or mild soap to clean your dentures. Avoid using regular toothpaste, as it can be too abrasive.
- After eating, remove your dentures and rinse them thoroughly to avoid food particles getting trapped.
- Routine check-ups help ensure your partial dentures continue to fit well and stay in good condition.
