Partial Dentures

Conventional vs. Precision Attached Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are removable false teeth used when a person is missing several, but not all, of his or her teeth. We will custom-create them in our dental lab, to match the size, shape and color of your existing teeth, so nobody should be able to detect that you are wearing them.

Two ways to place them in your mouth

1. Conventionally Attached Dentures
   The partial dentures are attached to the surrounding teeth with metal clasps. These clasps can be unsightly and create discomfort.
2. Precision Attached Dentures
   This is the newer method of attaching partial dentures, which uses hidden connectors. These connectors can be attached to dental implants or neighboring natural teeth, and are smaller than the traditional metal framework. Sometimes they have to be attached to crowns on the neighboring teeth. They result in a much more natural and beautiful smile.

During your complimentary consultation, one of our excellent doctors can recommend the best option for your specific dental situation.

Partial dentures are an excellent way to ensure on-going good dental health if you are missing several teeth. Gaps in your smile can lead to many problems and the eventual misalignment of surrounding teeth. So if you have missing teeth, please call or email us today.
