Partial Denture Types
There are many types of partial dentures:
-
Chrome frames: These are traditionally used in partial denture design. They consist of a metal framework and clasps that connect to your teeth.
-
Titanium frames: Due to the increased durability of titanium, the framework can be made much thinner without compromising its strength. Titanium frames are lightweight and much more comfortable than traditional cobalt frames.
-
Implant-retained partial dentures: Sometimes, a removable partial denture is made to attach to your gums with implants instead of clasps. Implants are more aesthetic than clasps and allow for a more natural feel when chewing.
-
Flexible partial dentures: Flexible partial dentures are designed to replace a single tooth or a few teeth rather than a full set of teeth. They are made of a softer, more flexible resin. Rather than connecting to existing teeth with a metal clasp, they have a comfortable, more aesthetically pleasing clasp.
-
Acrylic partial dentures: Acrylic partials are generally used as a temporary solution after extractions. Often an acrylic partial will be made as a provisional denture until the bone has stabilized and a more permanent solution can be constructed.
