Watch Partial Dentures
Replacing missing teeth without surgery, using partial dentures
A partial denture is a removable appliance: replacement teeth sit in a base that clasps onto your natural teeth. When several teeth are missing but healthy ones remain in the same arch, it is often the most affordable, non-surgical way to fill the gaps, restoring your smile while protecting the teeth you still have.
The video traces every stage, from start to finish. The dentist first takes precise impressions of your whole arch. A dental lab then builds the custom-fit partial, and a follow-up appointment confirms its fit, function, and appearance before you begin wearing it every day.
Neighboring teeth tend to drift into an empty space, and as they move, the remaining teeth become crooked, crowded, and harder to clean. A well-fitted partial prevents that drift, which is why partial dentures do more than fill a gap. They also keep your bite balanced and support your lips and cheeks for a more natural appearance.
Which type suits your case is a question for your consultation at Modern Essence Dentistry. Traditional metal-frame, flexible Valplast-style, and acrylic partials each have their own strengths, and if needed, we can discuss financing then too.
