A partial denture is a removable dental appliance designed to replace one or more missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance. Made from a combination of acrylic and metal, the partial denture features a metal framework that provides stability and support, with artificial teeth strategically placed to fill gaps. It is custom-made to fit securely in the mouth, and clasps or other attachments are used to anchor it to the remaining natural teeth. In our practice, we use advanced digital workflows to simplify the process, ensuring precise measurements and a more comfortable fit for the patient. This modern approach enhances efficiency, reduces the need for multiple fittings, and shortens the overall treatment time, making it a more convenient option for patients seeking a reliable solution for tooth replacement. Partial dentures help maintain proper bite alignment, prevent remaining teeth from shifting, and improve overall oral health, offering an excellent alternative for patients who are not yet ready for permanent options like bridges or implants.

​A denture is a removable appliance designed to replace missing teeth and restore both the function and appearance of the mouth. It is typically made from acrylic or a combination of acrylic and metal, with artificial teeth set into a base that mimics the natural gums. Dentures help improve chewing, speaking, and smile aesthetics for patients who have lost multiple teeth. There are two main types of dentures: immediate and conventional. An immediate denture is placed in the mouth immediately after teeth are removed, allowing patients to maintain their appearance and function during the healing process. However, because the gums shrink as they heal, adjustments are often needed after the initial placement. In contrast, a conventional denture is crafted and placed only after the gums have fully healed, typically a few months after tooth extraction. While conventional dentures tend to fit more securely and comfortably, immediate dentures provide a faster solution for patients who need immediate tooth replacement. Both types offer effective, non-invasive options for restoring a complete smile.
