Full dentures? Partial dentures? How do you know which one is best for you? Having a bright smile and straight teeth helps you feel comfortable and confident. But repairing your teeth is not just about cosmetics; the ability to eat well, speak properly, and your overall confidence in social situations are all dependent on properly functioning teeth. Thankfully, there is a great option for people missing teeth who may not necessarily need a full set of dentures. Partial dentures could be the best choice for you.
Let’s start at the beginning: A denture is a replacement for natural teeth typically used when you have experienced tooth loss due to any number of reasons. Dentures are not permanently attached. They are removable dental appliances. Dentures are most often used to replace several missing teeth or even to replace all teeth when necessary. Essentially, when multiple teeth are missing in a row, dentures are the best viable option.
There are two options that a denturist will recommend: a complete set of dentures or a partial set. Both kinds of denture appliances are worn for most of the day and are taken out at night to be cleaned thoroughly. Both types are commonly used and have advantages and disadvantages.

When it is time to weigh out the pros and cons of partial dentures versus full dentures, to discuss the different material options that they will be made from, and to confirm the best method to have you chewing comfortably and smiling in no time, it is recommended that you book into a reputable denture clinic for a consultation.

Are partial dentures a good option for me?
Whether or not to get partial dental implants is a decision that is best made after a thorough consultation with an experienced Denturist. Typically though, partial dentures feel more stable than full dentures as they are anchored to your remaining teeth with a clasp. Also, partial dentures are desirable for many patients because they do not usually require any teeth extraction before use.
Are dentures comfortable?
Unlike the dental appliances of yesteryear, today's dentures are made from a combination of high-quality materials such as acrylic and plastic. New dentures not only match the shade of real teeth and gums but modern dentures are also customized to fit your mouth and remaining teeth.
