With various options available for tooth replacement, it can be overwhelming for a patient in the Dublin, California area to choose a solution that works best for their needs. With the help of the team at StarBrite Dental, patients can learn more about each treatment. Partial dentures are a common solution recommended by dentists for tooth loss, and can be used in many different situations.
A partial denture is best described by Drs. Munira Lokhandwala and Maryum Tariq as a dental appliance created to snap into the smile using the remaining teeth as an anchor. This metal framework is custom-fitted to a patient’s dental arch and places false teeth right where they are needed. A partial denture is easily removed though it provides better function when teeth are extracted or lost.
Due to continued advances in cosmetic and restorative dentistry, partial dentures can be made to look completely natural when in the mouth. A partial denture may have visible metal clasps but these are often relatively discreet. Partial dentures include one or more false teeth that slide into place when the patient snaps it into the arch. The false teeth are created to match the patient’s existing teeth for seamless integration.

Because of the way in which partial dentures are fabricated, they can easily replace several teeth along the dental arch. These teeth do not have to be next to each other as they do for a dental bridge. Partial dentures are also more affordable than placing several dental implants along the arch.
