A partial is an artificial body part, very much like a prosthetic leg or a glass eye. It takes time to adjust to wearing it. Sometimes fine adjustments need to be made by the dentist to get it to fit perfectly. Your dentist should make these adjustments at little or no charge, at least for the first few months after the initial placement. If you are unable to make the adjustment to wearing the partial after several months, you should discuss your options with your dentist. You may be a candidate for dental implants. They are more expensive than a partial, but they are far more easy to get used to, and they are a permanent alternative to partials.
NO NO AND NO!!!!!!!!!
A partial denture is a prosthetic that you place in your mouth to replace the function and appearance of missing teeth. It is usually made of metal and plastic. It is removable and requires cleaning at least daily. It is held in place by clasps that attach to the remaining natural teeth. It will occasionally need to be adjusted by your dentist to fit properly.To see a picture of an upper partial denture, click on the Related Link below.

The impression is taken by the dentist so that a dental technician can use the impression to make a set of artificial teeth or one or more crown teeth. The impression is to ensure that a set of dentures (upper, lower, partial or a full set) will sit comfortably in the mouth and fit snugly against the palate.
I recently saw an ad on tv, which offered a partial denture product that would improve the fit against the gums
A dentist is usually a doctor, just with a dental specialization. They have an M.D. next to their name after all. They can prescribe anything they see fit.
Pottery, casts... You make a cast from a mold. Your dentist may have made a mold of your teeth. From that mold, he can make you a night guard to fit your teeth exactly, to stop grinding your teeth. What he makes is a cast of the mold
Because the dental practitioner needs to check their fit.
