Missing several teeth but still have healthy natural teeth remaining? At First Choice Denture Clinic, we provide custom partial dentures designed to restore your smile, improve chewing, and support your remaining natural teeth — with complimentary consultations for patients across the Tri-Cities.
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances used to replace one or more missing teeth while preserving your remaining natural teeth. They are custom designed to fit securely around your existing teeth and restore areas where teeth are missing.
Modern partial dentures are designed to be comfortable, functional, and natural looking — crafted to blend with your existing smile.
Several types of partial dentures are available. The best option depends on your oral health, the number of teeth being replaced, and the level of support needed.
Uses a thin metal framework designed to fit precisely around your remaining teeth — widely considered the most durable and stable type of removable partial denture.
Made primarily from denture acrylic and may include metal clasps for retention. Commonly used as a temporary or transitional appliance while healing or deciding on a long-term solution.
Made from a flexible nylon-based material designed to bend slightly around natural teeth.
Both acrylic and cast metal partial dentures can replace missing teeth — but they are designed for different purposes and different stages of treatment.
Cast metal partial dentures use a rigid metal framework that fits precisely around remaining teeth, allowing chewing forces to be distributed more evenly across the natural teeth and gums.
Acrylic partial dentures are typically thicker and are often used as temporary appliances while patients heal or consider a long-term treatment plan.
For many patients seeking a long-term removable option, cast metal partial dentures are often the preferred solution because of their strength, stability, and durability.
