Partial dentures
A removable partial denture fills the gaps when some natural teeth remain. It attaches to your teeth with small clasps and comes out for cleaning.
Is it right for you?
- You're missing several teeth but have healthy teeth remaining
- You'd like to avoid surgery or need a lower-cost option than implants
- You're replacing teeth on both sides of the mouth
What to expect
- ExamWe check the remaining teeth that will support the partial.
- RecordsScans or impressions and a bite record are taken.
- Try-inWe check fit and appearance before it's finished.
- DeliveryYour partial is fitted and adjusted so it's comfortable.
Our dentists are general dentists who provide this treatment in our office. Treatment recommendations follow an exam.
Options
Metal-framework partial
A thin, strong cast-metal frame. The most durable and stable option for long-term use.
Flexible partial
Made from a flexible resin with gum-colored clasps, so there's no visible metal.
Acrylic partial
Lower cost and easy to add a tooth to later. Often used short term. See also flippers.
Common questions
Will people see the clasps?
Clasps are placed where they show the least. Flexible partials use gum-colored clasps.
