We also provide partial dentures. A patient may require a flipper, or partial denture, if they have lost a tooth or teeth due to extraction or accident. Any gap caused by missing teeth, or even a single tooth, can cause a person to experience a myriad of oral health problems. As well as emotional or social insecurities due to appearance, there may be difficulties while eating or speaking. In order to avoid these negative experiences, patients are wise to consider a dental prosthesis. Partial dentures do not harm remaining natural teeth. A partial denture provides the existing teeth the support to help prevent further deterioration of the mouth structure and prevents your natural teeth from shifting or drifting into the space left by the loss of a natural tooth. Temporary acrylic partial denture (commonly referred to as flipper denture) is an inexpensive way to replace quickly any missing tooth or teeth The temporary partial denture has prosthetic teeth attached and comfortably fits along with the teeth and the tissue of the mouth. It will make your smile appear attractive and natural. The difference between a partial denture and bridge is that a partial denture is removable, but a dental bridge is cemented to prepared or reduced teeth. The dental bridge can cost up to 3 times more compared than a partial denture. Partial dentures are usually made of metal and acrylic with artificial teeth attached and they have clips or clasps that hold the dentures in place. These clasps may be visible. Most people choose a partial denture over a bridge because of the cost and more importantly, they don’t have to grind down a tooth to get a crown on top of it. With a partial denture, you'll look better, feel better and chew better. We will work with your budget to provide you with a denture to serve the best possible outcome for you.
