FAQs – Partial Dentures
What is the difference between full dentures and partial dentures?
Full dentures replace all the teeth in either the upper, lower, or both arches, while partial dentures are used when patients still have some natural teeth. Partial dentures fill in the gaps, restoring both appearance and function without requiring complete tooth replacement.
How many teeth can a partial denture replace?
Partial dentures can replace anywhere from a single tooth to more than ten, depending on the case. We offer solutions for one tooth, small groups of teeth, or larger sections, including options with clasps, rests, and flexible or chrome-cast bases.
What are chrome casting dentures, and when are they recommended?
Chrome-casting dentures use a metal framework, typically cobalt-chrome or titanium, to provide superior strength, thinness, and durability. They are ideal for patients who need stability and longevity while maintaining comfort. The metal palate design allows for a more lightweight fit compared to acrylic-only dentures.
Are flexible dentures comfortable to wear?
Yes. Flexible dentures are made from specialised materials that provide a softer, more adaptable fit. They are particularly useful for patients who find traditional rigid dentures uncomfortable or who require a more discreet solution. Flexible dentures also reduce the risk of breakage compared to acrylic options.
Can patients get immediate partial dentures?
Yes. Immediate partial dentures are made before extractions and fitted on the same day teeth are removed. This prevents patients from having to go without teeth while healing. Adjustments or relines are often needed later to ensure long-term comfort and stability.
How should partial dentures be cared for?
Partial dentures should be cleaned daily using a soft brush and non-abrasive denture cleaner. They should also be removed and soaked overnight to maintain hygiene and prevent damage. Regular dental visits are important to check fit, make adjustments, and keep both the denture and natural teeth in good condition.
What is the lifespan of a partial denture?
With proper care, partial dentures can last between 5 and 8 years. Over time, changes in the mouth, wear of the materials, or damage may require a reline, reset, or replacement to maintain comfort and effectiveness.
