Do you have more than one missing tooth? Do you still have healthy teeth that don't need to be extracted? If you want to replace all your missing teeth at once without losing the smile you have, a partial denture is a great option.

Keep Your Remaining Natural Teeth

A partial denture allows you to keep your healthy teeth, instead of having them extracted. Full dentures can replace all your teeth at once, but partial dentures replace only those that are missing. Partial dentures wrap around healthy teeth and don't interfere with those you want to keep.

If you still have healthy teeth, our recommendations are to preserve them when possible. Unless the teeth are infected, pulling them usually isn’t the best option. If you don't require full dentures because of extensive tooth decay, tooth loss, or gum disease, a partial denture may be the best choice.

Adjusting to Partial Dentures

Sometimes, it can take quite a while to adjust to a full-mouth denture — particularly if the denture is removable or is not secured with dental implants. It's much easier to get used to wearing a partial denture because of the more discreet shape. 

Partial dentures are smaller because they are held in place by your natural teeth. That means they're streamlined and less bulky, but sleeker in form.

It won't take long to get your partial denture, and

you'll be able to speak and eat confidently before you know it.
