Dental practice in Brentwood, CA describes the benefits of partial dentures

Posted By Dr. Jamil Alkhoury

Patients who visit Dr. Jamil Alkhoury of Brentwood Family Dental in Brentwood, CA with concerns regarding missing teeth are often unsure as to the type of restoration they should consider for repairing their smile. They may be overwhelmed at the options, or not exactly sure if they are looking for something temporary or permanent. When it comes to restorative treatments, many of our patients find that there are several benefits to choosing partial dentures.

What are partial dentures?

Dr. Alkhoury explains partial dentures as restorations used to replace one or several missing teeth within the dental arch. They are a removable restoration that makes it easy to care for them and to increase their longevity. Many patients also find that their dental insurance plan provides partial or full coverage for this type of restoration when compared to other options such as bridges and dental implants. This makes partial dentures an economical choice for many as well.

Partial dentures are made of a metal frame and require existing teeth to use. The partial denture slides into place into the dental arch and replaces the missing teeth with false teeth called pontics. These fill the gaps left behind by the missing teeth while restoring function and beauty.

Who is a proper candidate for partial dentures?

Any patient who has not lost all their teeth within the dental arch may be considered a candidate for partial dentures. Partial dentures are used in a variety of situations and can be used on all patients who are not in a position of needing full dentures due to complete tooth loss or extractions.
