Partial Dentures

Faced with multiple missing teeth? Dr. King might suggest partial dentures as your path to a fuller, more functional smile. As a more comfortable alternative to full dentures, partial dentures connect to your natural teeth or dental implants, filling the gaps seamlessly.

What are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures, or dental bridges, revive your smile by replacing multiple missing teeth within the same arch. Available in fixed and removable forms, they prevent the shifting of your remaining teeth, preserving your bite and jaw alignment. With partial dentures, ward off jawbone atrophy and further tooth loss efficiently and comfortably.

Fixed vs. Removable Partial Dentures

  • Removable Partial Dentures: These are held in place with metal clasps gripping onto your healthy teeth or dental implants, offering ease and flexibility.
  • Permanent Partial Dentures: Cemented permanently for a secure, non-removable bond, these dentures occasionally may need re-cementing.

Plan ahead with partial dentures, potentially minimizing your future dental costs and ensuring a consistently complete smile.
