If you only have a few missing teeth then a partial denture will help to complete your dentition.
They are beneficial as they spread the biting forces, slow down the wear of your natural teeth and stop your natural teeth drifting into the spaces.
Where applicable Peter will always encourage you to keep your remaining natural teeth.
If you have had missing teeth for a long time or if you are about to have teeth removed partial dentures can be used to fill these spaces.
An immediate acrylic partial denture can be placed immediately after your teeth have been extracted by your dentist. This helps to avoid any embarrassing gaps. You just need to ensure that you allow enough time prior to the extraction for Peter to construct the denture.
The benefit of an acrylic partial denture is that is can be added to should you lose more natural teeth.
If your natural teeth are stable and sound then this is a good option as they are superior in many ways to acrylic partial dentures. They are held in place by clasps connected to your natural teeth, this is far more effective than using suction (which is the main form of retention for acrylic dentures).
- They are much thinner, this makes them easier to adapt to and more comfortable to wear.
- Less palatal coverage which improves taste and tongue space
- Less impact on speech
- Better transference of temperature
