PARTIAL DENTURES


If you are missing only a few teeth scattered over either arch (upper or lower teeth), or even if you have a minimum of two teeth on both sides of the arch, then you can most inexpensively replace the missing teeth with a removable partial denture (RPD). There are several types of RPD's. All of them use standard plastic denture teeth as replacements for the missing natural teeth. The differences between them are the materials that are used to support the denture teeth and retain the RPD in the mouth.

The different types of partial dentures are:

1) Conventional plastic dentures:

These dentures are rigid and can be used as interim or treatment dentures, only to be worn for a short period of time. They have wire clasps for retention and rest on the gum often causing general soreness of the gum.

 

 


2) Cast Partial Dentures:

Removable Partial Dentures with cast metal frameworks offer numerous advantages over the conventional partial dentures commonly used. The frameworks of these dentures are cast to fit the teeth. Since they sit on the teeth, as well as being attached to them, they are extremely stable and retentive.

 

 


3) Flexible Dentures:

These are special flexible acrylic partial dentures indicated in certain specific situations, and are very comfortable to insert, wear and remove by the user. They are Non-Invasive, and virtually invisible.

 

 

We recommend the removable Cast partial dentures which are made of cast metal alloy overlaid with acrylic teeth and take support from the remaining teeth, thereby maintaining the health of the underlying tissues. The cheaper readily available option of full acrylic partial dentures with metal wires/clasp are not considered as permanent dentures as they may cause more damage to the underlying tissues. These dentures are given only as interim dentures for a short period of time.
