Although implants are usually considered the ideal way to replace missing teeth, partial dentures can be an excellent option for some patients, and also offer a more affordable alternative.

A partial denture is used to replace one or more missing teeth, and consists of a removable metal or plastic framework. We work with top lab technicians to create a customised denture designed specifically for your mouth to maximise strength and stability, and that looks natural in your mouth.

Is a partial denture the right choice for me?

Dentures can be a very good option in some cases. They offer natural-looking results, and are more affordable than dental implants. They can usually be altered if additional teeth are lost. However, there are some downsides to partial dentures. It takes some time to adjust to wearing a denture, and this varies from person to person. Your jaw bone will continue to change over time, meaning that the denture will need to be altered (relined) regularly. Dentures can also affect which foods you can eat, and how you taste your food. They must also be removed and cleaned regularly.
