Partial Dentures Montgomeryville

What Are Partial Dentures?

It is an appliance that replaces the missing teeth in the mouth. A partial denture consists of three basic elements:

A framework or base fits against the gums and other areas in the mouth. An attachment such as a clasp holds the framework in place and prosthetic teeth are connected to the framework.
The framework of a partial denture is supported by the teeth, gums and jawbones where the framework rests. The framework is held in place by the clasps on the remaining teeth.
The framework is usually made of a strong, non-corrosive, metal alloy. The teeth are made of plastic or porcelain and are attached to a pink denture plastic called acrylic to resemble the gum tissue.

When Is A Partial Denture Recommended?

It is very important to replace missing teeth with full or partial dentures. Replacement teeth help fill out the space and restore your smile by giving support to the cheeks and lips. This will give a youthful feeling, a more appealing appearance by holding up facial muscles and also aids in speaking, chewing, swallowing and smiling.

Care Tips:
