Partial Dentures
A significant number of people are missing some of their natural teeth. If you belong to this group and have decided to seek denture treatment, you should know that you can drop by The Chatham Denture Specialists clinic without a referral. Partial denture treatment is an effective and economical way of restoring proper chewing and a pleasing smile. Partial dentures can be fitted as teeth are lost or removed, and can help to preserve the position and function of the remaining natural teeth.
When teeth are lost a space is created which the teeth on either side tend to tip into and fill. The bite then alters when teeth move from their proper position and, if left unchecked, this can lead to further tooth loss. By filling the spaces with partial dentures, remaining teeth are prevented from moving. The dentures provide a surface to bite on, restoring the ability to chew properly. Your smile is restored by replacing missing teeth, which are colour matched to enhance your natural appearance.
There are different types of partial dentures, made with a variety of fasteners. Partial dentures restore missing teeth by using some natural teeth for hold and support. Combined tooth and gum support provide effective function so that a complete bite is restored, even when many teeth are missing. A partial is regarded as an acceptable standard by leading insurers.
