What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures serve the same purpose as complete dentures – to replace natural teeth. However, unlike complete dentures, partials only cover certain sections instead of the entire teeth set. Partials contain clasps that connect to the existing natural teeth to refresh the smile. The benefits of partial dentures include:
· Gum disease and decay prevention
· Reinforcement of the facial shape and structure
· Improved and less painful biting and chewing
· Improved speaking ability and pronunciation
What Are Dental Bridges?
Dental bridges are custom-made pieces attached to existing teeth that fill in one or more tooth gaps. Before bridges are implanted, crowns are placed upon each tooth beside the gaps so the bridge can be anchored to them securely. Bridge replacements can renew teeth’ appearance and function in many ways, including:
· Returns the teeth to natural biting and chewing
· Reduces stress and the burden on existing teeth
· Prevents teeth from shifting or falling out of place
· Prevents additional decay or dysfunction
· Beautifies smiles and renews biting, chewing, and speaking
