What is the difference between partial dentures and full dentures?
If you are considering getting dentures, it is important to have a complete understanding of your options for this process. Complete or full dentures are generally suited for individuals who have lost most of or all of their teeth. However, a person with partial dentures will still have many of their teeth, unlike with complete dentures. A partial denture is a set of a few false teeth on a metal framework. This set is attached to your natural teeth. You may have crowns attached to your natural teeth to provide additional support for the denture in this case. It is important that you do not confuse partial dentures with bridges. Bridges also provide a replacement for a few teeth. However, partial dentures are removable while bridges are not.
What are the benefits of removable partials?
Whether you have lost some of your teeth in an accident or due to decay, you may feel less confident in your smile. This is where an experienced dentist can assist you. A skilled dentist can fit you for a removable partial denture to help fill those gaps to allow you to gain that confidence back.
This fixture is used to improve the appearance of your smile and to ensure the rest of your teeth do not shift and create other spaces. This option is less permanent and completely removable as opposed to a bridge. Many individuals who utilize dentures find that they have an easier time speaking and eating.
