What are Partial Dentures?
A removable dental appliance replaces missing teeth and surrounding tissue. It is made to resemble natural teeth and enhance your smile. The appliance can also improve chewing, speech, and digestion. The appliance is very durable and can last many years but may need to be repaired or remade due to normal use and wear.
A partial denture is made to replace several missing teeth and it prevents other teeth from shifting. The partial can have a metal framework with acrylic and teeth to replace the missing teeth or it can be made from a type of an all acrylic material without any metal.

Process of Removable Dental Appliance
The process of getting a removable dental appliance requires several appointments, and can take several weeks or months. Highly accurate impressions or molds and measurements are taken and used to create your custom removable dental appliance. There will be several “try-in” appointments to ensure proper color, shape, and fit. At the final appointment, your dentist will adjust and place the appliance to ensure a comfortable and natural fit.
It is normal to experience increased salivary flow, some soreness, and possible speech and chewing difficulty. This will subside as your muscles and tissues get used to the new removable dental appliance. You will be given instructions on how to care for your new appliance.
