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.

Humans use four different types of teeth (incisors, canine, premolars, and molars) to cut, tear, and grind their food.

Flossing once a day can increase your life expectancy by 6 years.

78% of Americans have had at least 1 cavity by age 17.

The idea of flossing is over 200 years old. It was first recommended by a dentist from New Orleans in 1815.

Teeth can't self-repair in the same way that bones can. This is why filling cavities and maintaining proper oral care is so important.

Tooth sensitivity is usually the result of enamel wearing away, exposing the softer dentin beneath.
