What are Partial Dentures?


Partial dentures are dental prostheses used to replace one or more missing teeth. Unlike full dentures, which replace all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw, partial dentures are designed to fit around the remaining natural teeth and fill in the gaps left by missing teeth.

They are typically made of a combination of materials, including a metal or acrylic framework, artificial teeth, and clasps that attach to the remaining natural teeth for support and stability. The artificial teeth are custom-made to match the colour, size, and shape of the patient's natural teeth, ensuring a natural-looking and functional result.

Partial dentures can help improve the appearance of the smile, support the remaining natural teeth, and prevent further tooth loss by distributing the biting and chewing forces evenly across the jaw. They can also improve speech and restore the ability to eat a wider variety of foods.

Signs That Partial Denture is Right For You


Improve appearance

Missing teeth can affect the appearance of your smile and may make you feel self-conscious. Partial dentures can fill in the gaps and help restore a natural-looking smile.

Improve oral function

With missing teeth it becomes difficult to bite, chew, and speak properly. Partial dentures can improve your ability to eat a wider variety of foods and communicate more effectively.

Prevent further tooth loss

When you lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth can shift out of place and may become more vulnerable to decay or damage. Partial dentures can help prevent further tooth loss by providing support and stability to the remaining natural teeth.

Support oral health

Missing teeth can also affect your oral health by increasing the risk of gum disease and other dental problems. Partial dentures can help maintain the health of your gums and remaining natural teeth.

Procedure of Fabricating Partial Dentures


The dentist will perform a comprehensive dental exam, take impressions of your teeth and gums, and discuss your treatment goals and options.

  • Treatment Plan: Based on the exam and impressions, the dentist will create a treatment plan and design the partial denture that best fits your needs.
  • Preparation: the dentist will prepare the remaining natural teeth that will support the partial denture and take additional impressions to ensure a precise fit.
  • Framework Fabrication: A dental laboratory will create a metal or acrylic framework based on the impressions and design provided by your dentist. This framework will serve as the foundation for the artificial teeth and clasps.
  • Try-In: Once the framework is completed, your dentist will check the fit and adjust it as needed. This is a critical step to ensure that the partial denture fits comfortably and securely in your mouth.
  • Final Fitting: After any necessary adjustments are made, the artificial teeth and clasps will be added to the framework. Your dentist will then place the partial denture in your mouth and check the fit, function, and aesthetics. Any final adjustments will be made to ensure that the partial denture is comfortable and natural-looking.
  • Follow-Up:The dentist will schedule follow-up appointments to ensure that the partial denture is functioning properly and to address any concerns or issues that may arise.

Yes, partial dentures can be worn while eating. However, it is important to avoid biting down on hard or sticky foods that may damage or dislodge the denture. Chewing slowly and using both sides of the mouth can help distribute the pressure evenly and prevent any discomfort or instability.

Partial dentures can last for several years with proper care and maintenance. However, over time, they may need to be adjusted, repaired, or replaced due to normal wear and tear, changes in the mouth, or other factors.

Partial dentures may initially affect speech, as the mouth and tongue adjust to the new appliance. However, with practice and patience, most people adapt quickly and experience little or no difficulty speaking.
