Everything To Know About Partial Dentures

What are Partial dentures?

A Partial Denture is a denture where the customer has a few missing teeth and a few natural teeth remaining. It's a denture that fills gaps in their smile.

 

Do you have a missing tooth or a couple of missing teeth. Are there options when it comes to partial dentures?

There are in fact a lot of options. Each option has its own unique benefits for the patient.
In the acrylic partial denture options, you have 2 types - standard acrylic or a flexible material sometimes known as Valplast. In the metal partial denture options, you have different types of metal - cobalt chrome or titanium.

 

How to determine the best Partial Denture?

A consultation would be best. We will have a look and a chat with the patient and sort out what is the best option for them. At DentureTech we offer a free consultation. So call us and make an appointment.

 

Do you need Denture Repairs?

Dentures are renowned for breaking at the worst possible moment. I think the most memorable one is a bride, on the day of her wedding, breaking her denture. She came in, curlers in her hair and everything, waiting for it to be fixed. First, call us. Our clinics are open Monday to Friday. But we do have an after-hours service on weekends and public holidays. We will normally have a clinician on-call when we are not open. If the repair is simple, it takes about 2 hours to complete. But first things first, we need to see the customer and the broken denture to assess what needs to be done, how long it will take, and how much it will cost. Also, dogs love to chew dentures! We've seen so many dentures in bits because a puppy got bored and wanted something to chew.
