Partial Dentures

Much like full dentures, partial dentures are designed to restore the appearance of your smile and the utility of your mouth. Custom created to match your natural smile, partial dentures are easily placed.

Partial dentures are typically recommended when you still have healthy natural teeth but have lost a few teeth. Partial dentures are custom-made oral appliances used to fill the spaces between your teeth and are designed to help preserve your remaining natural teeth and renew your confident smile.

By restoring the natural appearance and function of your teeth, partial denture appliances can make it easier for you to speak and chew, while supporting your cheeks and lips to prevent your facial contours from sagging.

A partial denture usually consists of replacement teeth fixed into an acrylic base within a thin framework. This framework attaches to the remaining teeth to ensure a more secure fit for the denture.

Make sure to follow all instructions provided for the care and use of your partial denture in order to ensure that it remains in good condition and functions correctly. Never attempt to force your partial into place by biting down, as this could bend or break the clasps or fittings and damage your teeth or the denture.

If you have questions about partial dentures or would like a consultation to see if a partial denture is the right option for you please call 408-445-4444 to set up an appointment with our dentist, Dr. Brad A. Walker.
