Partial dentures are dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth while preserving the remaining natural teeth. They are typically made of a combination of metal and acrylic, providing a comfortable fit and a natural appearance. Partial dentures help restore chewing function and improve speech, making them a practical solution for those with gaps in their smile. These dentures are custom-made by a dentist or prosthodontist, who takes impressions of the patient's mouth to ensure a proper fit. Regular check-ups are essential to maintain the health of the remaining teeth and the overall fit of the partial dentures.
