Frequently asked questions about partial dentures
All City Cosmetic Dental Care in South Huntington, New York, is dedicated to providing several replacement options for missing teeth. One such solution is a removable partial denture that offers a cost-effective solution for tooth loss. Partial dentures designed and placed by Dr. Boris Yusupov and his team restore your smile’s function and appearance when missing one or more teeth. Let’s look at frequently asked questions about partial dentures by South Huntington, New York, area patients who visit our office.
What are partial dentures, and how do they work?
Have you ever heard about a dental bridge? A partial operates similarly to a bridge by spanning the gap between two natural teeth. A partial comprises a set of one or more prosthetic teeth mounted on a gum-colored base. However, unlike bridges secured to the nearby teeth using crowns, partials are attached to the back of the surrounding teeth with detachable metal clasps. This way, partials are removable, offering convenience during maintenance.
Are there different types of partial dentures?
This depends on how many teeth you need to replace and your unique needs. A variety of materials are used to make partial dentures, including titanium framework, Valplast flexible, Wironium framework, acrylic, and acetal resin. Dr. Boris Yusupov will discuss each solution to help you choose the most appropriate for your smile.
