What is a partial denture?

A partial denture can replace one or more missing teeth in the mouth.

What are the different kinds of partial dentures?

A partial denture can be a resin acrylic partial, a metal frame with acrylic teeth, or a flexible partial denture.

I have one or more of my teeth missing. Can I add it to my partial denture?

In most cases, yes, we can add them to your partial denture.

Why is it important to have a partial denture?

If you are missing even one tooth, it’s very important to have a partial denture to keep and maintain the missing space; it will also protect the other teeth from shifting. If it is not protected, the roots start to be exposed, and sadly, it will damage the other teeth and possibly lose them. Removable partial dentures restore your natural appearance and greatly improve your ability to chew and speak clearly. Partial dentures may help maintain the position of your remaining teeth by providing them with additional support.

My partial denture is moving and rocking in my mouth. Is this normal?

This is NOT ok because if your partial is moving or rocking in your mouth, this can cause really serious harm to the rest of your remaining natural teeth. Also, it can cause damage to the gum and bones underneath the partial denture.

Custom Partial Denture Fittings

Prestige Denture Clinic, located in Vancouver, WA, proudly serves patients throughout Southwest Washington and the greater Portland metro area with expert partial denture solutions. Partial dentures are an excellent option for individuals who still have some natural teeth in good condition but need to replace missing teeth to restore a full, beautiful smile. Our custom removable partial dentures are designed not only to enhance aesthetics but also to provide additional support and stability to your remaining natural teeth.

Partial dentures can be made from a variety of materials, offering both flexible and non-flexible options to accommodate your comfort, preferences, and lifestyle:

Flexible Partial Dentures: Made from soft, lightweight materials, flexible partials provide excellent comfort and a more natural feel. They are less noticeable in the mouth and generally adapt well to changes in your gums over time.
Non-Flexible Partial Dentures: Typically fabricated from acrylic or metal frameworks, these partials offer strong durability and a secure fit. They often feature metal clasps that help anchor the denture firmly to your natural teeth.
