Partial Dentures

Partial Dentures are a solution to replace some of your missing teeth.

A removable partial denture replaces one or more missing natural teeth, which can help restore a natural appearance and greatly improve the ability to chew efficiently and speak clearly.

 Missing teeth should not be ignored.

There are generally three types of partial dentures: cast partial denture, acrylic partial denture, and flexible partial dentures. Cast partial dentures and acrylic partial dentures have clasps that can be adjusted where flexible partials’ clasps generally can’t be tightened or loosened, however there are different flexible materials to be used for removable partial dentures.

Our team of denturists at Charing Cross Implant denture clinic can fabricate flexible partials using Thermosens material which is one type of flexible partial that can be repaired, relined and rebased and clasps adjusted.

The position, stability and number of natural teeth that you have remaining are only a few of the factors that help to determine what style or type of partial denture would be best for you. Partial dentures can be made of different materials, including acrylics, a metal/acrylic combination or flexible thermoplastics.

Your denturist team at Charing Cross Implant Denture Clinic will assess and review this with you at your initial consultation to determine the type of options that would suit your situation best.
