What are partial dentures?
Partial dentures are a solution for patients who are missing only some teeth.
Partial dentures are a solution for patients who are missing only some teeth, not their entire set. They serve to replace lost teeth and restore the function and aesthetics of the smile.
Main characteristics:
- They replace several missing teeth, not the entire dentition.
- They are attached to your own teeth or implants using special clasps, clips or precision attachments.
- They improve the appearance and functionality of the teeth – they help with biting, chewing and promote correct pronunciation.
- They prevent the remaining teeth from shifting, which can occur after the loss of adjacent teeth.
- They are easily removable, which facilitates hygiene and maintenance.
Who are they suitable for:
- For patients who are missing several teeth in one or more parts of the jaw.
- For those looking for a more affordable alternative to fixed bridges or implants.
- For patients who cannot undergo implantation due to health conditions or insufficient bone mass.
Advantages of partial dentures:
- A quick and effective solution.
- Restores the aesthetics of your smile and your self-confidence.
- Easy maintenance and cleaning.
- More affordable option compared to implants.
