Partial dentures fill the space of missing teeth, preserving the location of natural teeth, and rehabilitating one’s image and function.

During your appointment, we will discuss which partial denture and which material would best fit your needs. The quality of denture is reflected in the wear and tear, its look, and comfort of the dentures in the mouth.
A few visits to the dental office are required in order to get fitted for partial dentures. In your initial assessment impressions and measurements are taken prior to fabricating the denture. Once the denture is started to be made you will try it a few times and adjustments will be made at this time to ensure that it fits nicely and securely in the mouth when finished.
