Partial denture

« Back to Glossary Index

A partial denture is a removable dental appliance that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is made up of a metal or acrylic framework that supports the replacement teeth and is attached to the remaining natural teeth with clasps or precision attachments. Partial dentures are a popular option for patients who have lost some of their teeth but still have some remaining healthy teeth.

At our local family dentist office, we offer partial dentures as a solution for patients who are missing teeth. Our experienced dentists will work with you to create a custom-made partial denture that fits comfortably and securely in your mouth. We use high-quality materials to ensure that your partial denture is durable and long-lasting.

There are several benefits to choosing a partial denture as a tooth replacement option. Partial dentures can improve your ability to chew and speak properly, as well as enhance the appearance of your smile. They also help to prevent the remaining natural teeth from shifting out of place, which can lead to further dental problems.

At Miller Comfort Dental, we understand the importance of having a healthy and functional smile. That's why we offer a range of dental services, including partial dentures, to help our patients achieve optimal oral health.

FAQs

1. What is a partial denture and how does it work?
A partial denture is a removable dental appliance that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. It is made up of a metal or acrylic framework that supports the replacement teeth and attaches to the remaining natural teeth. Partial dentures can help improve chewing ability, speech, and appearance.

2. How long does it take to get used to wearing a partial denture?
It may take a few weeks to get used to wearing a partial denture. Initially, it may feel uncomfortable or bulky in the mouth, and there may be some soreness or irritation. However, with time and practice, most people adjust to wearing a partial denture and find it to be a comfortable and effective solution for missing teeth.

3. How do I care for my partial denture?
To care for a partial denture, it is important to brush it daily with a soft-bristled brush and mild soap or denture cleaner. It should be rinsed thoroughly after each use and stored in water or a denture solution when not in use. It is also important to continue to brush and floss the remaining natural teeth to maintain good oral hygiene and prevent further tooth loss. Regular check-ups with a family dentist can help ensure that the partial denture is fitting properly and functioning well.
