Dentures are a replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Complete dentures are used when all teeth are missing and partial dentures are used when some natural teeth still remain. Partial dentures are attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases, connected by metal framework.
Removable partial dentures attach to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices called precision attachments, which are generally more aesthetic than metal clasps and nearly invisible. Crowns on your natural teeth may improve the fit of a removable partial denture, and are usually required with attachments. Your dentist at Country Center Dental will help you determine which type is right for you.
