A partial denture is a removable dental prosthesis designed to replace missing teeth while still accommodating the presence of multiple natural teeth. Crafted in a dental lab, it is made from an exact replica of the patient's mouth to ensure a proper fit. The partial denture utilizes clasps that attach to existing natural teeth, which helps to secure it in place during use. Additionally, it incorporates pink acrylic material to simulate gum tissues, providing a natural appearance and enhancing overall aesthetics. This solution offers a functional and effective way to restore smiles and improve chewing ability.
Dental bridges are a common dental restoration method designed to fill gaps left by missing teeth. A bridge comprises two or more crowns placed on the teeth adjacent to the gap, known as abutment teeth, with a false tooth or teeth, called pontics, positioned between them. These pontics can be crafted from various materials, including gold, alloys, porcelain, or a combination thereof. The support for dental bridges can come from either natural teeth or dental implants, providing a functional solution that restores both appearance and chewing ability.
