If you have been looking into dentures you will have no doubt come across the term “partial denture”.
But what exactly is a partial denture? dentures are a removable denture, or bridge, which usually consists of replacement teeth which are attached to a pink or gum coloured plastic based. These are sometimes connected by metal framework that holds the dentures in place in the user’s mouth. Partial dentures are used when one or more teeth are left in either upper or lower jaw.
A fixed bridge can replace one or more teeth by placing crowns on the teeth on either side of the space and attaching artificial teeth. This bridge is then cemented into place. Partial dentures not only fill the spaces made by missing teeth but they also prevent other teeth from changing position. Partial dentures differ from permanent dentures in that they are removable and have internal attachments as opposed to clasps that attach to the crowns. This is more natural looking and convenient.

"Duchenne Technicians and staff are AMAZING people!!
I had lost so much confidence because of missing teeth, I would try and hide them as much as I could, I'd talk with my hand close to my mouth, and wouldn't smile for people or even family photos. My new dentures fit perfectly and the process was fast and efficient. Thank you so much Tristan for giving me my smile back, you've been an amazing."
