Tooth loss doesn’t always mean you need a full set of dentures. For many patients, partial dentures provide the perfect balance between restoring function and maintaining a natural appearance. At Smiles Better Dental & The Denture Practice, we specialise in creating comfortable, lifelike solutions designed to fit seamlessly into your smile.
What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are custom-made dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They are held in place with precision clasps or attachments that secure them to your existing teeth. Unlike full dentures, which replace every tooth, partial dentures are a practical and cost-effective option when only certain areas of the mouth need restoring.
The Benefits of Partial Dentures
There are many advantages to choosing partial dentures. Firstly, they help restore your ability to eat and speak comfortably, improving your daily life. They also prevent remaining teeth from drifting into gaps, which can cause bite problems and changes in facial appearance. In addition, partial dentures are crafted to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, giving you a confident and attractive smile.
Types of Partial Dentures
At Smiles Better, we offer several types of partial dentures to suit different needs:
- Acrylic Partial Dentures – Affordable and versatile, suitable for temporary or long-term use.
- Metal Framework Partial Dentures – Strong, durable, and lightweight, providing excellent stability.
- Flexible Partial Dentures – Made from flexible materials for a more comfortable and discreet fit.
- Implant-Supported Partial Dentures – Attached to dental implants for maximum security and function.
During your consultation, our team will explain each option in detail and recommend the best type based on your oral health, budget, and personal preferences.
Looking After Your Partial Dentures
Caring for your dentures properly ensures they last longer and stay comfortable. Always clean your dentures daily with a soft brush and non-abrasive cleaner, and soak them overnight to keep them fresh. Regular dental check-ups are also essential to monitor your oral health and ensure your dentures continue to fit correctly.
At Smiles Better, we provide ongoing support and adjustments whenever needed, so you can enjoy lasting comfort and confidence with your partial dentures. Call us today on 0161 796 2404 or alternatively use the Contact Form
