Do I Need Partial or Full Dentures?

Dentures are a popular and affordable option for replacing missing teeth. Full and partial dentures are available to meet different needs, and dentures are fully customizable and personalized to the patient’s mouth. How do you know if you need partial or full dentures?

Partial dentures are generally recommended when you have just a few teeth missing; full dentures are the choice when most or all your teeth are gone, or will be extracted due to oral conditions. Dr. Evan Grodin is a uniquely qualified prosthodontist and periodontist who can recommend the best options for your needs and budget.

What are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures get their name from what they do – when only “part” of your teeth are missing, they replace them. Partial dentures are removeable oral appliances that fit to your existing teeth and are made from an acrylic metal or plastic. Your artificial teeth are attached to this frame and fill in the gaps of your smile. Partial dentures can be worn on the upper or lower arch to replace a few missing teeth.

What are Complete Dentures?

Complete dentures, also called “full” dentures, can replace a full set of teeth, or if most of your teeth are missing, they can be made to fill in the gaps around your existing teeth. With full dentures, your artificial teeth are attached to a plastic resin appliance that forms to your gums and stays attached through suction. They can also receive additional support from dental adhesives.
