Partial Dentures Here at Durham Prosthodontics, we can provide you with removable partial dentures for the restoration of lost teeth. You can get a removable partial denture if, in the upper or lower jaw, you have one or more natural teeth remaining. The advantage of these dentures is that when it is mandatory, patients can easily remove and then reinsert them without any assistance.Partial dentures are often made from a resin base. Some types can be made from a metal framework with clasps that attach firmly to your teeth. Sometimes, a removable partial denture is constructed to link to your natural teeth with the help of certain tools called precision attachments. These tools are more aesthetic than clasps. It is an economical solution that allows all missing teeth in the same arch to be replaced with one appliance. A partial denture is fundamentally much more stable than a complete denture, and this helps to make them more comfortable. Many factors help us to determine if you are a patient for tooth replacement with a partial denture. Amongst these factors, the health of the gums and the shape of the anchor teeth are most important. Nowadays, people are becoming more aware of the effects of metal like potential allergies, harmfulness, and sensitivity. For that reason, they are taking the initiative, requesting partial dentures that assist them to feel ordinary and contented, and which are visually attractive. Denture Development ProcedureThe denture development process is quite complicated, though it takes a few weeks and several appointments. The exact method of manufacturing will depend on each patient's requirements. The process involves building up a comprehensive picture of your mouth. During your visit to our office, we will take many different measurements so that the dentures can be designed to fit your precise specifications. After the mouth examination, models, wax forms, or plastic patterns will be made in the exact shape and position of the denture. Before the making of the last denture, you will try your model several times, and evaluate the denture for color, shape, and fitting. The final stage of making your dentures may take a specific time. You need to be patient through this process. It also takes time to become used to the partial dentures in the oral cavity. It's normal for your mouth to feel odd for the first few weeks of wearing dentures, as your gums need time to get used to them. At first, talking, chewing, and swallowing will feel a little awkward, but you will soon get used to it. You should come back to our clinic for consultation if you feel aching, stiffness, or pain. It is necessary that removable partial dentures must not cause discomfort while being worn, even for long periods. Visit our clinic, and we will insert the best-fit partial dentures for your teeth. Trust us to improve the look of your smile so you can live a confident life.
