Untreated partial or entire tooth loss can raise the likelihood of having nutritional issues and other chronic diseases, negatively impacting a person's self-esteem. The good news is that applying complete or partial dentures is a trusted and proven treatment for this illness.
Removable Partial Dentures are utilized when an individual continues to have a few original teeth, for example, when certain teeth are present in both the upper and lower jaws. With its acrylic construction, detachable dentures keep the remaining teeth from shifting.
What is the procedure for attaching a partial denture?
According to your needs, the top or bottom partial dentures are often placed inside the mouth with precision attachments or clasps. Whether you opt for removable partial dentures, upper or lower, they are usually fitted in the mouth using clasps or precision attachments. The clasps are made of metal which encircles half of the teeth adjoining the dental partials. Almost half of the teeth are surrounded by metal clasps next to the teeth partials.
Considering the location of the clasp, you can easily see it while you smile. On the other hand, surgical attachments are attached to implants for teeth or already-existing teeth. They are manufactured specifically for positioning above the natural teeth. Additionally, denture partials are simple to remove when needed for routine cleaning.
