Partial Dentures

Missing teeth is a common problem in the modern world and unfortunately, there are numerous reasons why people may need to replace their missing teeth with artificial ones. One of the popular options in dentistry to fix such problem is partial dentures, so let’s look at what partial dentures are and the insights.

Partial Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Partial dentures are used when Patient still have natural teeth remained. Partial Dentures have natural look and help to restore the form and functions of Patient’s jaw.

When Patient is missing natural teeth, bite pressures shift in the mouth, so the remaining teeth start moving to compensate for the gaps between the teeth, which leads to shrinking of soft tissues and supporting bone near the missing teeth.

This can cause serious problems with Patient’s natural teeth and badly affect Patient’s smile appearance. To avoid damages of natural teeth, soft tissues and supporting bone, Dentists often recommend placing partial dentures.
Partial dentures keep underlying structures of the mouth, such as jawbone, gums, and facial muscles in place and active, preventing natural teeth from shifting and keeping Patient’s smile healthy and complete.
