WatchPartial Dentures
Replacing missing teeth without surgery using partial dentures
When you've lost several teeth but still have healthy ones in the same arch, a partial denture is often the most affordable, non-surgical way to fill in the gaps. The appliance is removable, with replacement teeth set into a base that clasps onto your existing natural teeth, so it restores your smile while protecting the teeth you still have.
The video follows the process from start to finish. It begins with Dr. Brammeier taking precise impressions of your entire arch, after which the dental lab fabricates a custom-fit partial, and a follow-up appointment confirms the fit, function, and esthetics before it's ready for everyday use.
There's more to partial dentures than simply filling a gap. Left open, an empty space invites the adjacent teeth to drift into it, leaving the rest crooked, crowded, and harder to clean. A well-fitted partial holds that shift in check, keeps your bite balanced, and supports the lips and cheeks for a more natural appearance.
Each type of partial has its own strengths, from traditional metal-frame and flexible Valplast-style options to acrylic ones. We'll walk through which is right for your case at your consultation at Brammeier Dental of Naperville, and discuss financing if needed.
