Partial Dentures
If you lose one or more of your natural teeth, you can replace them with partial dentures. This will fill in the gaps and blend in with your smile. A partial can improve your smile’s appearance and your ability to chew and speak. It will help support the remaining natural teeth and prevent them from drifting out of place. If you have missing teeth, your remaining teeth will tend to shift to attempt to fill the empty space, but Darrach Denture Clinic can prevent this and give you a full and shining smile again.
It is important to see your denturist and have a recent x-ray to ensure the abutment teeth will be suitable to support the partial. Then, it is important to have any necessary dental work and cleanings done before denture installation. Careful planning is essential to quality and longevity of your dentures, and Darrach Denture Clinic will see that your denture fabrication is top quality.
Cast partials are made of a metal framework that rests on natural teeth for support with clasps to keep it in place. The framework is connected to the acrylic base and replacement teeth. Every partial has its own path of insertion and removal from the mouth. Most frameworks are made of chromium cobalt, titanium, and other quality metals. Acrylic partials do not have a metal framework but can have clasps for retention. There are also flexible partials with plastic clasps that some patients prefer to wear for comfort.
