What Is the Process for Getting Partial Dentures?
- Exam and Impressions – We evaluate your remaining natural teeth and take impressions to design a partial that fits around them.
- Framework and Fabrication – Your partial is built with a metal or acrylic framework, clasps that grip your existing teeth, and a base holding the replacement teeth.
- Fitting and Adjustments – We check the fit, bite, and how the clasps sit against your natural teeth, making adjustments so the dentures feel secure and comfortable.
- Follow-up Care – Since a partial relies on your remaining teeth for support, we'll check in to make sure those teeth stay healthy and the partial continues to fit well over time.
How Do You Know If You Need Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures may be a good option for patients who:
- Are missing one or more teeth but still have healthy natural teeth remaining
- Want to prevent their remaining teeth from shifting out of place
- Need an affordable way to fill in the gaps in their smile
- Prefer a removable option to a fixed bridge or dental implants
- Want to restore their ability to chew and speak comfortably
