Partial Dentures come in a variety of materials
The material used depends upon the budget available and also the type of denture required for adequate treatment.
In partials it is best to look at the affect the type of partial used will have on the remaining teeth and this is looked at in conjunction with a dentist who screens the mouth to make sure it is dentally fit to have a partial denture. This is called an Oral Health Certificate (OHC) that TOTAL DENTURES need to make a partial denture for a patient. The patient occlusion and anatomical features will indicate which material is best for use. For example using an inferior material for a patient with a hard bite will not last long so using the knowledge of Totaldenture's clinician is vital to a pleasing result. Price range indication $850-$3000 |
Types of Partial DenturesMetal partials are the strongest and are advised where the bite is close and the bone is strong. The main joining area called the major connector being unbreakable is an obvious advantage.
Flexible partials are increasingly popular, also very strong and very comfortable, Valplast is used for single tooth application and Thermosens is used for larger appliance as this provides a differing type of flex that is more rigid. These are very comfortable and do not have any metal parts.
3D Non Metal partials are printed 3D partials particularly useful when there are few teeth left in the mouth to anchor the partial. The clasps come in 3 shades-light, medium, and a darker shade especially good cosmetically for front teeth. Again no metal parts Acrylic partials are bulky but can be added to and are usually kept in by stainless steel wire clasps. However acrylic partials are not as strong as the other types and extra care must be exercised with these. Often stainless steel clasps are used with these. |
