PARTIAL DENTURES

---

Partial dentures are a type of dental prosthesis designed to replace one or more missing teeth within the same arch, while the patient still retains some of their natural teeth. Constructed using a blend of acrylic resins and, sometimes, a metal framework for added support, partial dentures are removable and help prevent existing teeth from shifting into the spaces left by the missing teeth. They aid in restoring oral functions such as eating and speaking, and in maintaining facial structure. Partial dentures also offer aesthetic benefits by filling gaps and restoring the individual's smile. Their design requires a careful balance of dental knowledge, technical precision, and aesthetic considerations, making them an essential tool in modern dentistry's repertoire. Consulting with Denturist is essential.
