Missing several teeth can make everyday activities like eating and speaking more difficult, while also affecting the appearance of your smile. Partial dentures offer a practical, comfortable solution for replacing missing teeth while preserving the healthy teeth you still have. Dr. Michael K. Bassiri provides custom partial dentures designed to restore function, balance, and confidence.
What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances used when some natural teeth remain. They replace missing teeth and are supported by the surrounding teeth and gums. Each partial denture is custom-crafted to fit comfortably and blend naturally with your smile.
When Are Partial Dentures Recommended?
Partial dentures may be recommended if you:
- Are missing multiple teeth but still have healthy natural teeth
- Want to prevent remaining teeth from shifting
- Need a removable tooth replacement option
- Are looking for a cost-effective solution
The Partial Denture Process
Your treatment begins with a consultation to evaluate your oral health and discuss your goals. Impressions and measurements are taken to ensure your partial denture fits comfortably and functions properly. Once fabricated, the denture is fitted and adjusted as needed for comfort and stability.
Adjusting to Partial Dentures
It’s common to experience a brief adjustment period as you get used to wearing partial dentures. Follow-up visits allow Dr. Bassiri to make refinements and ensure an optimal fit.
Caring for Partial Dentures
Daily cleaning and proper storage help keep partial dentures in good condition. Regular dental visits allow your denture and remaining teeth to be monitored for long-term comfort and health.
