A partial denture is required when you have one or more of your natural teeth missing in either the upper or lower jaw. These are designed specifically for your mouth and to replace those missing teeth to minimize unwanted shifting and movement of the existing teeth.
Partial Dentures may be supported either by an existing tooth or tissue–and–tooth supported. The Denturist will go over your options in depth at your consultation to explore which options will benefit you the most.
It is important to know that partial dentures will not harm your existing teeth, but rather provide them with additional support and allows you to chew better.
Should you feel that the denture isn’t sitting quite right or that you are experiencing any sore spots, contact the office to book an appointment. Sometimes a small adjustment might be required.
