Partial dentures are removable artificial dental prosthetics used to replace missing teeth. When some natural teeth remain, partial dentures provide both an aesthetic and functional solution by filling in the gaps. They are a suitable alternative for individuals who have lost a single tooth or multiple teeth. In this article, we will discuss what partial dentures are, when they are used, and details about the treatment process.
What Are Partial Dentures and When Are They Used?
Partial dentures are used when there are significant gaps in the jaw due to tooth loss. Tooth loss can occur due to genetic factors, trauma, decay, or gum disease. These prosthetics restore chewing function while also preventing facial structure deterioration. Partial dentures are placed next to natural teeth and, being removable, can be easily cleaned by the patient.
How Are Partial Dentures Made? Treatment Process and Stages
The process of getting partial dentures typically involves several steps. First, the dentist evaluates the patient’s oral structure and creates a treatment plan tailored to the missing teeth. The design of the prosthetic is customized based on the patient’s dental structure and aesthetic preferences. The next stage involves taking impressions for the prosthetic, which is then prepared in a dental laboratory. Finally, the denture is fitted, and the patient is instructed on its use. The entire process usually takes a few weeks to complete.
How Are Partial Denture Prices Determined? Factors That Affect Cost
The cost of partial dentures varies depending on factors such as the materials used, treatment complexity, clinic experience, and the location of the procedure. Metal-supported dentures generally cost more than acrylic or plastic options. Additionally, aesthetic demands and additional treatments can influence the final price. Therefore, discussing treatment details beforehand and obtaining a precise cost estimate is important.
