What is a Partial Denture?
A partial denture is a denture that replaces missing teeth in the mouth. Partial dentures replace some missing teeth, not all. Partial dentures can be made from chrome or acrylic.
Types of Partial Dentures
There are a few types of partial dentures. The type best for you depends on your individual case. The cosmetic dentist will assess to see what’s best for you. Types are listed below:
Chrome Denture – Made from alloy chromium. The strongest and usually the least bulky of dentures.
Acrylic Dentures – Made from plastic, acrylic dentures are light, cheaper than chrome. The amount of teeth on dentures usually dictates their design.
Immediate Dentures – Made from acrylic and are used to replace teeth to be extracted immediately after tooth extraction.
Benefits of Dentures
Partial dentures provide you with teeth that will help you function, eat, speak and cosmetically enhance your smile. They are removable, easy to clean and comfortable.
Disadvantages of Dentures
The main disadvantages of dentures are that they are not fixed.
Advances in Cosmetic Dentistry and Dentures
