Partial Dentures

If you are struggling with missing one or several teeth and are ready to give your smile a new look, consider our partial denture solution.

Restore Your Smile with Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are a cost effective alternative to surgical implants, and you may be able to receive your dentures in a day rather than 2-3 months like most competing brands. We utilize an on-site denture fabrication lab that allows us to create your dentures or partial dentures while you wait.

If you have one or more gaps in your smile, but the rest of your teeth and mouth are healthy, you will likely qualify for and benefit from partial dentures.

Types of Partial Dentures

Cast Metal Partial Denture

The cast metal partial denture is our best partial denture device because it is strong and less bulky, fitting better and more snugly in the mouths of our patients.

The cast metal partial is fabricated using a metal framework to which the on-site laboratory will attach high grade, false, denture teeth. Because the metal piece of these dentures is made in a third party laboratory, we must disclose that they may take 2-3 weeks before they are finished and ready to be delivered to the patient.

Flexible Partial Dentures

The flexible partial denture option is created with a soft, malleable material that is the same color as the gums and makes the denture fit well and look natural. This denture is also removable and can be constructed in one-day at participating practices.

Acrylic Partial Denture

This is our most affordable partial denture solution and is often available the same day. It attaches to your other teeth and gums with a metal clasp and can feel more bulky than our other options, but will still leave you with a natural look.

FAQs

What Are Partial Dentures? arrow

Partial dentures are removable devices attached to false teeth that are meant to replace missing teeth. These are a good option for people who may be missing one or several teeth on their upper or lower arch, but do not yet want a full denture. This is a non-surgical procedure, although tooth extractions may be necessary. It is also important to note that the surrounding teeth and mouth must be healthy to qualify for this procedure.

Can Partial Dentures Be Made In One Day? arrow

Yes! Some of our partial denture solutions can be made in one day. Consult with your doctor to see which type of partial denture will work best for you.

Can You Sleep With Partial Dentures? arrow

While you are able to sleep with partial dentures, it is often recommended that they are removed to soak overnight to keep them in the best shape. Dentures that are left out and not soaked may become brittle and warped over time. You may ask your doctor what specific care instructions will be included with your partial dentures.

Can You Eat With Partial Dentures? arrow

Absolutely! You may eat with your partial dentures, but be aware that there may be an adjustment period when you first start wearing them. Sticky or especially tough foods can wear down your dentures over time and potentially cause sores or a loose fit of the denture.

How Many Teeth Do You Need For A Partial Denture? arrow

You will need several healthy teeth for your partial dentures to attach to. It is preferred to have more back teeth (molars) as they are generally stronger than front teeth, but as long as there are enough teeth for the partial to attach to, you will likely be able to this type of denture. Keep in mind that you can only get one partial denture per arch of teeth, but you can get a partial denture for as little as one or two teeth if that's all you need.

How Much Do Partial Dentures Cost? arrow

Depending on additional factors like materials and manufacturing methods, partial dentures might cost less than full dentures because they only cover a portion of your mouth. At Affordable Dentures, our aim is to keep prices low and budget-friendly. The price of your partial dentures will depend on which denture type you choose, and your individual needs and preferences. For more pricing information, please contact your local branch.

Can Metal Clasps On Partial Dentures Damage Teeth? arrow

The metal clasps that secure your removable partial dentures in place should not cause damage to your teeth. If you find that the clasps are causing damage or discomfort then please contact your local branch.

Can Partial Dentures Cause Tooth Sensitivity? arrow

It is common to experience tooth sensitivity after your partial dentures have been fitted, due to postcementation sensitivity. However, this should only be temporary.

How To Clean Partial Dentures arrow

Just like natural teeth, you will need to clean your removable partial dentures twice a day. Start by filling up your sink with warm water, then rinse your dentures thoroughly. Rinsing is important, as you’ll want to remove any large food particles before brushing. Make sure to only ever use warm water and not hot - as this can damage your dentures.

Using a soft-bristled toothbrush, simply brush your removable dentures gently but thoroughly, with a non-abrasive cleaning agent. If your partial dentures are made with metal, brush carefully to avoid bending the attachments.Then rinse your dentures and soak them overnight if the manufacturer’s instructions say to do so, as some partial dentures aren’t made to be soaked overnight.

After brushing your dentures, make sure to brush and floss the rest of your natural teeth, to prevent plaque buildup and maintain good oral hygiene. Make sure to discuss with your dentist the best way to store your partial dentures overnight.

How Do Partial Dentures Work? arrow

Partial dentures work by filling the gaps between your natural teeth. The plate that the false teeth are attached to is usually made out of metal, plastic, or nylon, and fits onto your natural teeth through clasps. Some partial dentures are removable, meaning they can be easily unclipped when needed. Partial dentures work by filling in for missing natural teeth, making eating and speaking much easier. You can have partial dentures for one tooth or several missing teeth.

How Long Do Partial Dentures Last? arrow

Partial dentures can last between 5-15 years on average. How long your partial denture lasts for depends on several factors, including the materials, how well you take care of them, and how well they fit in your mouth.

How Do Partial Dentures Stay In Place? arrow

Partial dentures are secured in place through metal clasps that clip on to your natural teeth. Additionally you can also use denture adhesive for a more secure fit. Consult with your dentist to find the right solutions for you.

What Is A Fixed Partial Denture? arrow

A fixed partial denture is a type of dental restoration that permanently attaches false teeth to natural teeth. These types of partial dentures are not removable by the patient. 

What Are Partial Dentures Made Of? arrow

Partial dentures are made out of various materials. Partial dentures typically have a base made from acrylic, metal, or nylon. Some partial dentures are secured in place with metal clasps.

Can Partial Dentures Be Repaired? arrow

Yes, partial dentures can be repaired. Your dentist may suggest relining your dentures if they have become loose. If your dentures are causing you a lot of discomfort or pain, they may not fit anymore, meaning it might be time to replace them entirely.

What Is A Permanent Partial Denture? arrow

Like a fixed partial denture, a permanent partial denture, also known as a dental bridge, is a type of dental restoration that is permanently fixed to your teeth.

Can A Partial Denture Be Attached To An Implant? arrow

Can I Get A Partial Denture With No Back Teeth? arrow
