Understanding Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances designed to fill gaps where several teeth are missing. They are carefully shaped to fit around your remaining natural teeth, offering a secure and comfortable way to restore your smile without surgery.
Patients across Thornbury and the wider South Gloucestershire area choose partial dentures because they:
- Improve chewing and speaking
- Restore facial support and balance
- Prevent remaining teeth from shifting
- Provide a cost effective alternative to implants
- Are designed to look natural and blend with existing teeth
Types of Partial Dentures We Provide
Crafted using a gum coloured acrylic base to support replacement teeth, these are a straightforward and versatile option for many patients.
Designed with a lightweight metal framework and clasps that attach securely to remaining teeth for added stability and durability.
A softer, more adaptable option, often chosen for enhanced comfort and aesthetics in suitable cases.
Each style is recommended based on your oral health, comfort preferences and the areas of missing teeth.
