With today's technology, partial dentures can stay secure in your mouth and look natural without implants or messy adhesives, no matter how much or how little jawbone you have. The key is to have they made by a board certified denturist
There are two types of partial dentures: removable and fixed. Removable partial dentures consist of a metal framework along the artificial teeth and metal clasps which hold the denture in position. Alternatively, the fixed partial denture, often referred to as a bridge, is cemented in the appropriate position. The bridge is preferred over removal partial dentures because the bridge tends to be more comfortable and better resembles natural teeth. On the flip side, the bridge requires healthy teeth for their support and are more expensive than the removable partial denture. If you are considering such a procedure for yourself, discuss both options with your dentist.
