Partial dentures, also known as removable partial dentures (RPDs), are dental prostheses used to replace one or more missing teeth in the mouth. Unlike complete dentures, which replace all teeth in an arch, partial dentures only replace some of the missing teeth while preserving the remaining natural teeth. Here’s an overview of partial dentures:
Partial dentures offer several benefits, including improved chewing ability, speech clarity, and aesthetics, while also preventing the shifting of remaining natural teeth. They provide a cost-effective and minimally invasive solution for replacing missing teeth and restoring oral function and confidence. If you are considering partial dentures, it’s important to consult with a qualified dentist to determine the best treatment option for your individual needs.
