What Are Removable Partial Dentures?
Removable partial denture is a prosthesis used to replace one or a couple of missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. This type of denture is a great tooth replacement option to prevent your remaining natural teeth from changing position, as well as other related dental issues (which we cover in this article). A removable partial denture consists of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base. This base is made of a plastic and metal framework, which holds it in place in your mouth.Benefits Of Removable Partial Dentures
Our removable partial dentures are low-cost alternative solutions for missing teeth. Below are the amazing benefits of having removable partial dentures.Non-Invasive Procedures
The overall procedure of making and using removable partial dentures is non-invasive. What the dentist does is create denture fittings according to your mouth’s shape and gaps in your teeth. The dentist will then check first if they fit perfectly in your mouth, and if the shade of the artificial teeth is the same as your normal teeth through metal framework and wax denture trial. The final stage is the try-in process where the dentist will place the removable partial denture inside the patient’s mouth, and if there are irregularities or issues, our dentist will have it adjusted.Works Both Sides Of The Mouth
If you have a full denture, a combination with implant is also considered but not all patients are amenable to implant or oral surgery. On the other hand, another option is a dental bridge. While this is an effective solution, it also has its limitations. A dental bridge has a low prognosis if only a few natural teeth are left. This solution is also a permanent one, meaning it is cemented on your teeth, and has a requirement of 2:1 abutment-pontic relationship for it to be successful. This means that your missing teeth should not exceed your remaining natural teeth. A removable is considered for this kind of case. A removable partial denture is great for cases with lots of missing teeth but is not a full denture. Plus, it provides support and structure for both sides of your mouth.Restores Your Ability To Bite And Talk
It’s easy to assume that missing a few teeth only creates a cosmetic issue — but it greatly impacts your health.
Unfortunately, many people still underestimate the benefits of having healthy teeth. Remember that even a single lost tooth can affect how well your mouth works, including your ability to talk and have a proper bite.
Our removable partial dentures offer a more straightforward solution for tooth replacement so you can restore your ability to talk, chew, and smile for a more confident version of yourself.
Keeps Your Jaw Structure And Appearance
Aside from providing you the ability to eat, chew, and smile, your teeth are important for your jaw’s structure and appearance. Even a few of them missing can create a domino effect — causing your jaw to lose bone density, and other teeth to go out of alignment.
A removable partial denture is a quick and cost-effective way to preserve the balance in your jaw. This also provides stability for the rest of your teeth, preventing them from moving out of place.
