Partial dentures are dental devices used to replace missing teeth. If you have several gaps in your smile, partial dentures can help restore your ability to chew and speak properly. They are made from materials like acrylic or metal and are designed to fit comfortably in your mouth.
In Langley, there are many dentists such as Langley dental group who can help you get partial dentures. During your visit, the dentist will take measurements and make molds of your teeth to create a custom fit. Once your dentures are ready, you will learn how to put them in and take them out easily.
It may take some time to get used to wearing them, but with practice, you will be able to enjoy your favorite foods again. Partial dentures not only improve your appearance but also help maintain the shape of your face and support your remaining teeth.
Like full in dentures in Langley, partial dentures are removable dental prosthetics. They are designed to replace one or more missing teeth in your upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures use your natural teeth as support to fill in gaps caused by missing teeth.
A partial denture is made of artificial teeth that match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth. These replacement teeth are attached to a gum-colored base.
If you still have some healthy teeth but need additional support to improve your bite and have a complete smile, partial dentures are a good choice for you.

Partial dentures are either manufactured out of a metal and acrylic composite, or entirely out of acrylic. The unique needs and anatomy of a patient will dictate the design of the partial denture, with every effort made to construct a self-cleansing partial denture that preserves the remaining teeth and oral tissues.
Our Vancouver clinic will ensure that your partial denture is designed so that the chewing forces are evenly distributed over the entire surface, including remaining teeth and soft tissue. Because of this, adjustments to your remaining teeth may be recommended to help equalize these forces. It really comes down to what’s best for you.
For the most part, metal partials are preferred as they are structurally superior. In addition, they are thinner and more hygienic than their acrylic counterpart. So why the use of acrylic at all? Acrylic partials are typically used as a transitional or temporary partial denture. The latter would therefore not become a longterm or lifetime solution to replace your missing teeth.

Your existing natural teeth are in danger of moving, spreading out along the gum line which can result in aesthetic concerns and issues in the jaw bone. A removable partial denture can help limit this movement, while allowing you to better grind and chew your food, which ultimately improves digestion and overall health.
