Partial or removable dentures are appliances that are worn to replace missing teeth. Partial dentures are held in place with either metal clasps or interlocking precision fit connections that are supported by the remaining natural teeth. They are a good, low cost option for people missing some teeth.

Removable Partial Dentures are designed for those partially missing teeth. People typically prefer fixed partial dentures (dental bridges) over removable partial dentures, though some do not qualify for fixed partial dentures because they lack the supporting tissues to which fixed dentures attach.

Fixed Partial Dentures, like removable partial dentures, are designed for those partially missing teeth. Fixed partial dentures are commonly called “dental bridges” and are more costly than removable partial dentures; however, they provide the most natural results.
