What are partial dentures?

Partial dentures are a tooth replacement option for people who have lost one or more teeth. The type of denture you choose for your smile will depend on your budget, how the denture works with your mouth, and how much it affects your speech and eating abilities. Unlike complete or full dentures, partial dentures use existing teeth to support the appliance and ensure it stays in place, eliminating the need for traditional denture adhesives.
