Everything You Need To Know About Partial Dentures: Removable Partials And Permanent Partials

Partial dentures are dental bridges that are typically used by those who have lost only a few teeth due to a jaw-related accident, tooth decay, or malnutrition. Having gaps in the teeth can result in food and bacteria forming in the empty spaces. In cases like this, dentists use partial dentures to fill in the gaps and eventually prevent tooth and gum decay. Along with helping you to speak and eat better, they also help prevent the caving in of cheeks and lips that often occurs when there’s significant tooth loss.

Partial dentures come in different types, but usage is a case to case basis. In order to determine what kind of denture is appropriate for your needs, you need to set up an appointment with a dentist or orthodontist. If you only have a few missing teeth though, dentists would normally recommend getting a removable partial denture.

Removable partial dentures are false crafted to fit over your remaining teeth. The false teeth included are designed to go in the gaps between. They can be crafted as a bridge that goes across the roof of your mouth, or it can be fit to attach to the back teeth to replace any tooth that is normally used for chewing.

Permanent partial dentures are false teeth that are attached to the existing teeth through different means. In most cases, these include a metal or plastic clasp that fits tightly against the remaining teeth. They are oftentimes grafted to the jaw bone through a complicated surgery that involves drilling through the gums to reach the bone beneath. This procedure is often called tooth implant. Dentists consider this an effortful procedure, making it more expensive than any other dental operations and procedures. Getting permanent partial dentures involves a long recovery period for the patient, but they are clearly more durable and less fragile than false teeth.

To care for permanent partials, be sure to floss thoroughly between teeth and brush the gums that cover the dentures to prevent plaque and gum diseases. For removable false teeth, it is a practical idea to invest on a good denture case as false teeth are generally very fragile. They can easily break or chip off, even when worn. Patients normally get used to wearing false teeth after a month’s use, and regular visits to the dentist is required because dentists need to ensure that the dentures are still placed in tightly. Adjustments are often made when false teeth are affected by day-to-day chewing, eating, and even speaking. Normal wear and tear is expected from removable partial dentures, so proper care should be observed to increase the longevity of partial dentures.
