When a tooth is lost it is essential to replace it for cosmetic and functional reasons and a denture is still the most widely used dental prosthesis. There are many types of dentures - partial, full, metal based or chrome, over, flexible plastic and implant retained dentures. Partial Dentures When a person has lost some of their teeth, a partial denture is often the desired treatment option. A partial denture is a relatively simple way to replace missing teeth in an aesthetic and functional manner to match your remaining teeth and complement your individual appearance. Partial dentures are often retained by small clasps that engage the undercuts of your existing teeth to help secure the denture firmly in your mouth.

When teeth are lost, the remaining teeth can drift into the gaps created by the lost tooth or teeth. This change in teeth spacing or occlusion will change the way you bite resulting in temporandibular joint (TMJ) problems causing headaches, ear aches, clicking, crepitus and restriction of jaw movements. Partial dentures aim to prevent these problems by keeping your remaining teeth in their natural position.
