Partial Dentures
Partial dentures offer a removable solution for patients who are missing some but not all of their teeth. A partial denture consists of the replacement of one or more teeth and is supported by your existing, natural teeth. Partials can be made of different materials, including acrylics, a metal/acrylic combination or flexible thermoplastics.
Many factors, such as the number of teeth remaining, the position of the remaining teeth, and general oral health, will affect the type or style of partial that will best suit your needs. Please discuss your needs and options with the denturist to determine which partial style will be the most appropriate for you.
Many patients find that a partial denture perfectly suits their needs – restoring their smile, allowing them to chew naturally, and blending the denture teeth in well with remaining natural teeth. Please contact our office to see if complete or partial dentures fit you.
Why Partial Dentures Are Recommended
Partial dentures are advised for several clinical and functional reasons, including:
-
Replacing missing teeth: Prevents gaps that may affect speech, chewing, or aesthetics.
-
Preventing teeth shifting: Maintains alignment by supporting the surrounding natural teeth.
. -
Preserving facial structure: Supports cheeks and lips to prevent sagging caused by missing teeth.
-
Improving chewing efficiency: Allows for more balanced and effective chewing.
-
Non-invasive option: Requires minimal alteration to existing teeth compared with other restorative options.
Our team in Edmonton strives to provide clear guidance on when partial dentures are suitable, based on a thorough clinical evaluation.
Types of Partial Dentures
There are a variety of partial dentures that are available at Northview Denture Clinic in Edmonton. You can choose from:
Cast partial dentures
Cast partial dentures use a metal design to fit your natural teeth and gums. Artificial teeth are then placed around the metal frame so that you can resume your everyday functions. Cast partial dentures are an excellent option as they provide the most strength and retention out of the partial denture options.
Flexible partial dentures
These are an alternative for those who are looking for partial dentures that are not made of metal. Flexible partial dentures can improve aesthetics and make eating more comfortable.
Acrylic partial dentures
Acrylic partial dentures are a more cost-effective option. They are an appropriate solution if you are planning for the temporary replacement of your tooth/teeth. Acrylic partial dentures can help to improve the appearance of a missing tooth and can be fabricated with or without clasps to aid in retention of the denture.

Taking Care of Your Partial Dentures in Edmonton
Proper care of your denture is essential. Use the following tips to aid in the care of your denture:
-
Do not bite down on the partial to move it into position; always place the dentures and push them into position with your fingers. Your denturist will review insertion and removal instructions to assist you in proper technique.
-
After each meal, remove your partial dentures to clean them thoroughly and remove any food particles.
-
It is recommended that you do not sleep with your dentures in. Remove the denture before bed, clean it and properly store it in a safe place.

Do not use toothpaste on your denture as it is too abrasive and will scratch your denture. Use a denture brush and mild soap (dish soap) to safely clean your dentures.
