If you are missing some of your natural teeth you can benefit from partial dentures. These dentures are designed to fit seamlessly with your natural teeth while filling the empty spaces with denture teeth. Partial dentures look just like your natural teeth. There are two kinds of partial dentures: traditional partial dentures and flexible partial dentures and both will help you speak and chew with ease. Your denturist can help you decide which option is better for you. But like all dental appliances, partial dentures require proper care to ensure they last longer. Here are some tips to care for your partial dentures.

Taking proper care of your partial dentures will help ensure they last longer and maintain their fit.

If you have any questions or concerns about caring for your partial dentures, consult your denturist.

Q: Can you eat normally with partial dentures?
A: Because you are learning to eat with new teeth, we are inclined to say that no, you will not eat exactly the same way you did before. The good news is that dentures that are well made and fit you perfectly will allow you to enjoy most of the same foods that you did prior to getting them. It will take some getting used to, but practice makes perfect. To learn more about how to adjust to eating with partial dentures, read Eating With Partial Or Complete Dentures.
Q: What’s the difference between full dentures and partial dentures?
A: Complete dentures are a replacement for a full set of teeth when a person has no natural teeth remaining. Partial dentures are for people who still have some teeth remaining. Partial dentures have spaces for your natural teeth so that you can keep your own teeth and replace only the ones you’re missing. The framework attaches to your natural teeth for support and partial dentures often feel very secure.
