Dentures and Partials in Douglasville, Georgia

Types of Dentures

• Removable partial dentures are for patients who are missing some but not all of their teeth. A partial denture consists of a metal framework that goes around the roof of the mouth or the floor of the mouth. It has a clasp to help with retention. A partial denture can also be made of clear material for a better aesthetic result. Partial dentures are still widely used.
• Fixed partial dentures (also known as permanent bridges) are made from crowns that are fitted on the remaining natural teeth as well as synthetic materials that are sculpted to resemble teeth.
• Complete dentures or full dentures are for patients who are missing all their upper or lower teeth. Complete dentures, also known as Dental Prosthetic Appliances, are used once all remains of the natural teeth are removed. They mimic your natural teeth (aesthetically) and restore most of the functionality of chewing.
