What Are Partial Dentures?
A full or complete denture replaces all the upper or lower teeth, while a
partial denture replaces a few teeth, usually in the same arch. Depending
on your particular situation, partial dentures may be removable or fixed in
place with a special connector called a posterior palatine bar. Partial
dentures are a great alternative to traditional full dentures if you only
have a few missing teeth.
What Are the Benefits of Dentures?
The benefits of dentures are numerous. From restoring a natural-looking
smile and the ability to eat and speak more comfortably, to feeling more
confident and having improved oral health. Dentures can make a significant
difference in people’s lives.
Dentures also help restore your bite, allow you to chew more easily, fill
out your face for a more youthful look, provide support to your lips and
cheeks, and improve your speech. Additionally, dentures can help prevent
age-related bone loss since the dentures actually help stimulate the
jawbone.
