Partial Dentures in Issaquah
What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace one or more missing teeth. Unlike full dentures, which replace all teeth in a row, partial dentures fill in the gaps left by missing teeth while still allowing your natural teeth to remain intact. These dentures are designed to fit comfortably in your mouth, blending seamlessly with your existing teeth for a natural-looking result.
Benefits of Partial Dentures
- Restored Function: Partial dentures make it easier to chew and speak comfortably again, improving your quality of life.
- Aesthetic Appeal: Custom-designed to match the color and shape of your natural teeth, partial dentures help you smile with confidence.
- Preservation of Natural Teeth: By filling in the gaps left by missing teeth, partial dentures can help prevent your remaining teeth from shifting out of alignment.
- Comfort & Flexibility: Modern partial dentures are designed for a comfortable fit, offering the flexibility to remove and clean them easily.
- Affordable: Partial dentures are often a more cost-effective solution compared to dental implants or bridges.
Types of Partial Dentures
- Flexible Partial Dentures: Made from a lightweight, durable material, these dentures offer flexibility and comfort, making them a popular option for many patients.
- Cast Metal Partial Dentures: These dentures feature a metal framework, providing strength and stability, with natural-looking acrylic teeth.
- Acrylic Partial Dentures: An affordable option, acrylic partial dentures can be customized to look and feel like natural teeth. They are ideal for patients looking for a temporary solution or who are on a budget.
