A partial denture is a removable dental appliance used to replace one or more missing teeth in the upper or lower jaw. It consists of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic or metal base, which is designed to blend in with your natural gums. Partial dentures help restore chewing ability, improve speech, and prevent surrounding teeth from shifting out of position. They are a cost-effective and non-invasive solution for patients who still have some healthy natural teeth remaining.
