What are partial dentures?

Partial dentures are used to replace missing teeth in the mouth when you still have some of your own teeth left. They can

be used to replace just one missing tooth or can be used to replace multiple missing teeth in any part of the mouth.

Why might I need partial Dentures?

If you have missing teeth and are looking for a quick, effective method to replace these missing teeth then a partial denture is the first answer. There are several important reasons why people choose a partial denture –

Cosmetic – If you have visible gaps where teeth are missing and want to improve the appearance of your smile a partial denture can replace these missing teeth. Missing teeth may also cause your face to appear “sunken” as your cheeks fall in. A partial denture can restore this lost volume back.
Functional– If you struggle to chew your food because you have missing back teeth, a partial denture can replace these missing teeth and restore the bite. If you have missing teeth, it is not uncommon for teeth to move over time.
Cost – A partial denture represents the most cost effective way to replace teeth on a per tooth basis. If you lose other surrounding teeth in the future, these can often be added to the denture as they are lost.
Time – A partial denture can be made in as little as 1 day in simple cases when paying for a rush delivery on a private basis

What types of partial dentures are available?

Acrylic (plastic) Dentures
Acrylic dentures are the most common denture produced

Advantages of Acrylic Dentures
- Easy and quick to produce, often meaning they are cheaper for patients
- They are easier to add extra teeth to than chrome framework dentures
- Easy to repair in case of minor damage
Disadvantages of Acrylic Dentures
- Thickest type of framework
- Metal clasps to grip the teeth not particularly cosmetic
- Years of use can affect the gums by pushing them back
Cobalt Chrome Dentures
These dentures have a custom made framework cast from a cobalt chrome alloy before the teeth are added. They are often referred to as metal partial dentures or chrome partial dentures.

Advantages of Chrome Dentures
- Lightweight and precision fitting
- Metal framework provides strength with the smallest thickness
- Can withstand strong chewing forces
- In certain cases a “ring seat” design can be used which doesn’t cover all the palate
Disadvantages of Chrome Dentures
- Takes additional time to produce the metal framework (2 weeks)
- Metal clasps to grip the teeth not particularly cosmetic
- More difficult to add teeth onto the denture
- If bent outside the mouth the denture will need a full remake
- Usually more expensive
Flexible Dentures
Flexible dentures are made from a flexible nylon material.

Advantages of Flexible Dentures
- They can grip the teeth without using metal clasps
- They are easier to add extra teeth to than chrome framework dentures
- Flexibility makes insertion easy and they grip the teeth very well (excellent retention)
- Less likely to break
- Plastic clasps to grip the teeth for better aesthetics
Disadvantages of Flexible Dentures
- If they do break they are often unrepairable
- The bite strength is reduced slightly due to flexibility
- Years of use can affect the gums
- Not easily adjusted if ft isn’t correct

Dentures vs Implants vs Bridges

The main difference between a denture, implant and bridge is that a denture is a removable appliance to replace missing teeth and an implant or bridge is fixed in place.

A bridge is where a false porcelain tooth is fixed in place to your natural teeth to replace the missing tooth or teeth. In many cases, the natural tooth will need some reduction to make space for the replacement tooth.

Dental implants are artificial replacements for your tooth roots that are placed within the bone of your jaw to help support an artificial tooth or appliance placed on top. Dental implants require no reduction of the surrounding teeth to replace the missing tooth.

Can I tighten partial dentures at home?

Over time, partial dentures may become loose due to changes in gum and bone structure. While minor adjustments can sometimes be made at home, it’s important to handle these appliances carefully to avoid damaging them. For slight adjustments, denture adhesives can be used to improve stability temporarily. However, for significant loosening, it’s advisable to visit your dentist. DIY methods for tightening dentures, such as bending the clasps or using hot water to reshape them, can lead to improper fit and discomfort and are generally not recommended.

By understanding these aspects of flexible partial dentures, you can better navigate your options and maintain your dental appliance effectively. Always consult with a professional like Dr. Steph to ensure that any adjustments or decisions about your dentures are safe and suitable for your oral health.

I have been going to this dentist for years what a great place. If I have an emergency I can get booked in pretty fast. I asked about teeth whitening and was referred to George. I bought the whitening package and then decided I wanted composite bonding. I have just had this done on my top teeth today. I can’t tell you how pleased I am with the results. I would recommend George for his amazing work. Thanks
Richard Kenyon ★★★★★ a month ago
Had a complicated wisdom tooth extraction my regular dentist didn’t want to proceed with. So got referred to Dr Aslam, I was so impressed with how efficient and quickly he got the tooth out. Painless, fast and zero complications. What more can you ask for. 10/10 well done Arfeen and his team. Thanks Richard.

This is a truly excellent dental practice, the best I've ever been to. I needed some cosmetic dental surgery for the first time in my life - and I'm in my 60's - and my dentist Dr Cheeseman, has been tamazing. I was extremely worried about making the wrong decision because I've never had any major work done before and the damaged tooth was right at the front. He was incredibly kind, patient and happy to talk through the options over and over again over several appointments. The … More solution we settled on was pain free from the root canal through to the fitting of the crown and the veneer on the adjacent tooth. Most importantly the end result is fantastic, better than my original teeth and looks so natural. I've had loads of compliments and have regained my former smile - and my confidence. The whole procedure was very reasonsbly priced too, especially compared to an implant. Highly recommended. And the receptionists and dental nurses are all lovely too!
