Replacing Lost Teeth? What You Should Know about Partial Dentures

Tooth loss can be difficult to live with due to the unsightly gaps in your smile. Fortunately, there are dental solutions that can resolve tooth loss issues fairly quickly. One of these solutions is partial dentures. Partial dentures can replace one or more missing teeth to restore your smile and make it easier to eat and speak. At Frisco Elm Dental, Little Elm, Texas, Dr. Vidya Suri can have affordable partial dentures customized for your use. 

About Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are removable prosthetics that can be fabricated to replace one or more missing teeth. They’re composed of an artificial tooth or set of teeth attached to a natural-looking, gum-colored acrylic base. Partial dentures are supported by nearby natural teeth and gum tissue. Your appliance comes with metal clasps that wrap around adjacent natural teeth to keep your dentures in place when you talk, laugh or chew. As today’s dentures are highly customizable, you can expect prosthetics that fit comfortably, look great, and function like the real deal.

Reasons to Consider Partial Dentures

If you’re looking to replace missing teeth quickly, partial dentures could be a good choice. Partial dentures are:

• Practical and effective in replacing lost teeth
• Affordable, compared to other restorative treatments
• Durable to facilitate biting and chewing
• Natural-looking 
• Easy to maintain and use

Partial dentures can restore your ability to chew comfortably and speak clearly. By filling the gap left by missing teeth, these partial dentures keep your lips and cheeks from sagging to help you retain a youthful appearance. Today’s partial dentures offer a natural-looking appearance so that you can smile confidently again.

Partial dentures are easy to maintain and clean. Simply remove and brush with a soft bristle denture brush and denture-friendly solution after meals. At night, your dentures can be soaked in water or denture solution to keep them from warping. With proper care, partial dentures can provide you with years of quality use.
