A custom-fitted partial denture can make your smile whole again! Imagine being able to show your teeth when you laugh and smile — no more shame or embarrassment because of missing teeth. Photos, special events, social gatherings, video conferences, even the simple, day-to-day encounters running errands, with a partial denture, there is nothing to hold you back. You can do it all with complete confidence in yourself and your smile!
What is a Partial Denture?
A partial denture replaces several missing teeth, but not a full arch. Your partial will be custom made to look completely natural and blend in seamlessly with your remaining teeth. Depending on your needs as well as your preference, your partial denture may be fully made of plastic polymer or a combination of polymer and metal.
Partial dentures with a metal base are usually lighter and more durable, while plastic-only partials tend to be more economical. Both have their advantages. Dr. Lancaster and Dr. Britt will explain the differences and recommend the type of partial denture that will work best for your personal needs.
Better Oral Health Is in Your Future
When you choose a partial denture to replace missing teeth, you are investing in better oral and overall health. After tooth loss, the remaining teeth will gradually shift around to fill in the space left behind. This can cause a whole host of issues, including gum disease and additional tooth loss. A partial denture, when worn correctly and consistently, prevents shifting and restores power to your bite. This also allows you to eat a wider variety of foods for better nutrition, essential to keep your body healthy.
Getting Your Partial Denture
Dr. Lancaster and Dr. Britt will consider the teeth, muscles, and joints when creating the optimal partial for your unique situation. The cosmetic details play a significant part when creating your perfect partial denture design. Even the smallest details of tooth selection and placement are crucial, including the sizes of various teeth, the angles at which they are set, height to width ratios, shade, and color. All these factors come together to produce a remarkably natural-looking and functioning partial.
