Bayshore Cosmetic & Family Dentistry

Removable dental partials are held in place by clasps that fit around existing teeth or crowns and can be removed for cleaning. Partial dentures can be constructed from various materials: full metal, metal/acrylic, full acrylic, as well as new flexible thermoplastic nylon material. The type of partial, fixed or removable, is one factor that determines the construction material. Removable partials can be made of any of the four materials. The flexible thermoplastic will give a patient the most comfort in a removable partial. The dental partial is designed to preserve the remaining teeth and composition of the mouth.
