Partial Dentures for a Natural Look
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain and complete dentures are used to replace all teeth. Dentures are made to resemble your natural teeth, so there should be no noticeable change to appearance. In fact, dentures may even improve a smile!
A removable partial denture is used when one or more natural teeth still remain in the upper or lower jaw. Made of replacement teeth attached to a pink or gum-colored plastic base, partials help restore better functionality to the mouth. As with complete dentures, it is possible to have more permanent option cemented into place.

What Happens During the Partial Denture Process?
We start by taking detailed impressions of your teeth and mouth to create a custom partial denture that fits comfortably and looks natural. We carefully match the color of the gums and your remaining teeth for a seamless appearance. You’ll usually have a try-in while the partial is still in wax, so you can request changes to the color, size, or shape if needed. Once your partial denture is ready, you’ll return to the office for fitting and final adjustments to ensure it feels secure and comfortable. To keep it clean and in good condition, your partial denture should be removed at night for proper cleaning.
