What are partial dentures?

Dentures are dental prostheses that are used to fully replace several missing teeth. The most famous type of dentures, as portrayed in popular media, replace the entire dental row and are removable, but there are many other denture types. For example, dentures can be semi-permanently attached to dental implants, alleviating the need for denture adhesives or clasps.

Partial dentures are a less-known but broad category of dental implants used to replace some of the teeth in patients with incomplete adentia. It means the patient retains some healthy teeth in his mouth. Like other types of dentures, these prostheses are made to order and can replace any configuration of missing teeth.

Partial dentures may be removable or fixed to dental implants, though the latter are sometimes called fixed bridges. Dentures can have different types of frames, with cast metal, acrylic, and flexible frames being the most common.

Cast metal dentures

Cast metal dentures are the oldest type, so they are well-established in dental practice. These dentures have a durable metal frame, usually titanium, with acrylic-based gum and teeth replacements. Metal prostheses have a reasonable cost, but the alloy can change the taste of food and can cause allergic reactions in a very small percentage of patients (0.6 percent, according to a 2017 review).

Acrylic dentures

Acrylic partials have both frame and teeth replacements made of firm acrylic materials. These dentures are the most cost-effective option. Removable acrylic prostheses use metal clasps for attachment, which can lose their grip over time and require replacement.

Flexible dentures

These dentures also use dental acrylic for their frames, but the type of acrylic used here is much more elastic. The teeth replacements are made of firmer polymer. As a result, they are very comfortable to wear and are the least likely to irritate the surrounding tissues. However, these dentures tend to cost more than other types and have a shorter lifespan as they eventually lose shape.

Why should you install partial dentures?

Missing teeth can be very distressing from an aesthetic point of view, but they can also cause oral and general health problems. Without any replacement installed, the remaining teeth will gradually spread out to fill the empty spaces in the mouth, potentially leading to bite misalignment, facial shape changes, bone and tissue loss, and other serious health complications. Installing dentures will allow you to stop the teeth from changing place and will also partially recover the lost dental function. Furthermore, it will restore the aesthetics of your smile. Dentures also partially prevent bone atrophy that is caused by lack of mechanical stimulation to the jaws due to adentia.

Advantages of partial dentures

How are dentures made?

The conventional method of manufacturing dentures consists of two distinct stages. Before the dentist can begin making your dentures, he will need to examine your mouth to determine which teeth should remain. During this dental check-up, the patient and the dentist will decide what type of denture is the best for the patient based on the results of the dental examination and oral health history.

The first stage of the dental procedure is preparatory. The dentist will remove non-viable teeth or their remnants from your mouth, leaving the healthy teeth in place. It is done to retain the strongest natural teeth and to create a teeth configuration that will be able to securely hold the installed dentures.

After removing bad teeth, the dentist will make impressions of the patient’s mouth. These impressions may be made using dental putty or three-dimensional scanning. Dental impressions are used as a model for denture manufacturing.

Fitting process

After sending the impressions to the lab, the dentist will provide the patient with temporary dentures. The patient will be able to return to the hotel. First, they will need to wait until their gums heal after teeth extraction. This step is required because the jaws change their shape after teeth extraction. Once they heal, the patient should return to the clinic, where the dentist will make another impression and use dentures set in wax to fit the permanent denture.

During this stage, the dentist will adjust the dentures to make them fit the patient’s mouth perfectly. Once finalized, the patient is given permanent dentures and can return home.

How to care for partial dentures

Like other types of removable dentures and other teeth replacements, partial dentures require proper care to keep them from warping and damage. Without proper care, the patient will need to have their dentures restored or even have new ones made. Of course, it costs much less to maintain dentures properly than to have them restored, which is why it is so important to follow your dentist’s recommendations.

For the first several weeks, the dentist may recommend the patient to wear the dentures without removing them at night, but after this period the patient should remove the dentures every night and soak them in a cleaning solution. This is needed to let the patient’s gums rest and to clean the dentures from the built-up tartar.

The patient should try to rinse their dentures after eating and clean them thoroughly once a day. There are many special care products for denture cleaning. The patient must avoid using regular toothpaste and toothbrush to clean their dentures, as it will damage them.

What to expect after getting parietal dentures?

The patient needs to know beforehand that all removable dentures have an adjustment period after installation. At first, removable teeth prostheses will cause you to produce more saliva as the body will believe the patient has food in his mouth. The body will adjust over time, and saliva production will return to normal. The dentures won’t feel quite the same as the patient’s natural teeth, so they may alter the patient’s speech until the patient gets used to them. They will also prevent the patient from eating very hard food, as it can damage the prostheses and the patient’s gums.

The patient will also need to adjust their routine to allow for proper care for their dentures. Dentures need to be hydrated at all times. Without moisture, they will harden and change their shape. Because of this, the patient will need to soak their dentures in a special solution or water when they are not wearing them.
