Partial Dentures
ABOUT
Are you looking for an affordable way to replace several missing teeth? Dental implants and bridges can be rather expensive. If you’re on a budget and live in Toronto, removable partial dentures from Dentures Direct Implant Denture Clinic could be a consideration for you.
Partial dentures are dental appliances used to replace one or multiple teeth. Such appliances consist of artificial teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base. In addition, some partials include a metal frame that holds the denture securely inside the mouth. Removable options are typically fixed with clasps that connect the denture to surrounding natural teeth.
Benefits of Denture Partials
Affordable
Minimally-Invasive
Partials are less invasive than implants or bridges and suit those who may not qualify for those procedures.
Adjustable
Extra teeth can be added to your current appliance if needed, avoiding a full replacement.
Functional
Natural Looking
Easy to Wear
Partials are easier to wear than full dentures, making them a good option if you can keep your existing teeth.
Space Maintainers
After a tooth is extracted, neighboring teeth can tilt, causing alignment and gum issues. Partials act as space maintainers to prevent shifting.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do removable partial dentures last?
The lifespan of removable partial dentures can vary from patient to patient, depending on the patient’s oral hygiene, oral anatomy changes, and the denture type and material. With proper maintenance, partial dentures will serve you well for five to ten years.
What are the problems with removable partial dentures?
Because partial removable dentures use natural teeth as support, they can increase the build-up of plaque around these abutment teeth. If not cleaned properly, the plaque may lead to tooth decay and gum disease. In addition, abutment teeth or gums may experience physical trauma due to the pressure or movement of the partial.
Luckily, maintaining great oral hygiene and getting a properly fitted denture from an experienced denture professional like Dentures Direct Implant Denture Clinic in Toronto can help to prevent or minimize these problems.
Can you eat with removable partial dentures?
Can you sleep with partials in your mouth?
Does food get stuck under the partial dentures?
While full and partial dentures help to restore normal chewing functionality, it is common for food particles to get trapped between the denture and the underlying gum, leading to discomfort and irritation. To prevent the issue, we recommend using a specialized denture adhesive that forms a seal between the denture and your gum.
