Fill the gaps without surgery: partial dentures for missing teeth
A partial denture restores your smile while protecting the natural teeth you still have. If you're missing several teeth but keep healthy ones in the same arch, it's often the most affordable, non-surgical way to fill in the gaps: a removable appliance with replacement teeth set into a base that clasps onto your existing natural teeth.
The process is straightforward from start to finish, and this video walks through each step. Your dentist takes precise impressions of your entire arch, the dental lab fabricates a custom-fit partial, and a follow-up appointment confirms the fit, function, and esthetics before it's ready for everyday use.
The benefits go well beyond filling a gap. Left unreplaced, missing teeth let the adjacent teeth drift into the empty space, which leaves the remaining teeth crooked, crowded, and harder to clean. A well-fitted partial prevents that shift, keeps your bite balanced, and supports the lips and cheeks for a more natural appearance.
Several types are available, each with its own strengths: traditional metal-frame partials, flexible Valplast-style partials, and acrylic options. At your consultation at Way Dental, we'll help you choose which is right for your case and go over financing if needed.
