Partial Dentures

Removable partial dentures usually consist of replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases, which are connected by a metal framework.

• Partial attaches to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments.

• Crowns on your natural teeth may improve the fit of a removable partial denture and they are usually required with attachments. Partials with precision attachments generally cost more than those with metal clasps and are generally more aesthetic than metal clasps since they are nearly invisible.

• Flexible partials are also an option; they are thin, lightweight, and flexible and offer patients an alternative to traditional metal partials.
