Another alternative way to replace missing teeth is
the option of having partial dentures. A removable
partial denture fills in the space created by
missing teeth and fills out your smile. One benefit
of wearing a denture is that it helps you to
properly chew food. This can be quite a difficult
task with missing teeth. Also, a denture may improve
speech or prevent a sagging face by providing
support for cheeks and lips.
Removable partial dentures usually consist of
replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored
plastic bases. They are usually connected by metal
framework. Removable dentures also attach to your
natural teeth with metal clasps or crowns with
precision attachments. A full denture replaces all
the natural teeth that have been removed.
