How partial dentures replace missing teeth without surgery
If you're missing 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. It's a removable appliance with replacement teeth set into a base that clasps onto your existing natural teeth — restoring your smile and protecting the teeth you still have.
This video shows the process from start to finish. Dr. Brammeier takes precise impressions of your entire arch, 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.
Partial dentures do more than fill a gap. When teeth are missing, the adjacent teeth tend to drift into the empty space — leaving the remaining teeth crooked, crowded, and harder to clean. A well-fitted partial prevents that shift, keeps your bite balanced, and supports the lips and cheeks for a more natural appearance.
There are several types — traditional metal-frame partials, flexible Valplast-style partials, and acrylic options — each with its own strengths. At your consultation at Brammeier Dental of Naperville we'll walk through which is right for your case and discuss financing if needed.
