They Are: A partial denture is removable and rests over natural teeth and relies in part on the suction your mouth naturally creates.
They Are Not: A partial is not a fixed device. This means that it is not the same thing as a bridge in that it is removable. A bridge is “fixed” or bonded in place over natural teeth.
They Are: Partials are budget-friendly. If you are looking for a way to address your tooth loss but you are not currently prepared to make a hefty investment, you may wish to examine a partial denture for the time being (or for the long haul).
They Are Not: Partials are not something to shy away from because you’re sticking to a budget. Unlike dental implants (which you may still consider for the future), the initial investment is typically very affordable.
They Are: Partial dentures are for most tooth loss patterns. You may request one for teeth that are missing next to each other, that are spread apart from one another, or both.
They Are Not: A partial is not an exclusive item. They are quite accessible and versatile, helping most patients achieve complete smiles.
