I will get partial dentures. Are partial dentures safe for teeth?

4 Answers

Partials are safe and encouraged for balancing forces in the bite. Partials need adjustments and all teeth need to be evaluated for proper fitting.
Of course they are safe, but you must keep the partial and your teeth clean.
If it is done in a good way
Yes. Partial dentures are safe for your teeth. I would recommend a partial denture with no metal if possible. There are only four ways to handle a missing tooth. 1. Nothing 2. Removable partial 3. Bridge 4. Implant Each can be appropriate depending on the situation and finances. If you want more information contact me at drrouff@gmail.com Dr Michael Rouff DMD
