5 Ways You Can Benefit from Removable Partial Dentures

Removable partial dentures offer a practical solution to filling large gaps in your smile due to losing permanent teeth. Quality partial dentures will restore your smile’s function, esthetics, confidence, and self-esteem. If you’re struggling with multiple tooth loss issues, Dr. Karen Ho from Dentistry on Parkdale in Hamilton, Ontario, recommends you take a look at partial dentures.  

Today, dentures can be custom-made to exude a natural, pleasing appearance. When replacing front teeth, your partial dentures blend seamlessly with your smile. Partial dentures for back teeth will restore your ability to chew so you can eat more comfortably and easily. Moreover, removable partial dentures don’t require surgery or a long, drawn-out recovery. 

Here are five ways you can benefit from removable partial denture treatment:

1. Improved Chewing and Clarity of Speech 

You’ll find it easier to chew with partial dentures, especially if part of your missing teeth are molars. The dentures will bear the brunt of chewing and grinding food, so you can continue to eat many of your favorite foods. Filling tooth gaps will also improve speech clarity so you can enjoy chatting with family and friends again. 

2. Cost-Effective Treatment

Partial dentures are a cost-effective treatment as they don’t require surgery. You spare yourself the time, expense, and trouble of a surgical procedure and lengthy recovery to restore your smile. Dr. Ho will mold your teeth to have partial dentures custom-made for your use. The process may take four to six weeks, but you’ll have attractive, functional teeth to rebuild your smile.   

3. Easy Care and Use 

Removable partial dentures consist of one or more artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base. The device generally has metal clasps or a framework to secure the denture. Many patients also use adhesive for extra support and to seal out food and debris. At night, the dentures are removed for soaking and cleaning to keep them supple, fresh, and ready for the next day’s use. 

4. Maintain Jaw Structure

Losing natural teeth often results in bone loss, which will impact the structure of your jaw. There’s also the tendency for natural teeth to loosen and shift to fill the space left by lost teeth. A partial denture will help support your jaw and keep healthy teeth in alignment by filling that gap. 

5. Increased Confidence and Self-esteem

When teeth go missing, the first thing people do is hide their smiles due to a loss of confidence in their appearance. With natural-looking partial dentures, you’ll have every reason to smile again! Your new teeth will restore your smile’s original structure and appearance so you can feel relaxed and confident in social and professional settings.
