Removable Partial Dentures: Are They a Good Fit for You?
Are you researching your options for replacing missing teeth? Don’t overlook the possibility of removable partial dentures. Partial dentures offer an affordable, flexible means of replacing lost teeth and will complete your smile naturally. Drs. Schroyer and Duarte from Westwyn Dental LLC in Berwyn, Illinois are your go-to dentists for new dentures near me.
Here are some questions we’re often asked about partial denture treatment:
What are removable partial dentures?
Removable partial dentures are replacement teeth that take the place of natural teeth when they go missing. They’re composed of artificial teeth attached to an acrylic resin base that rests on your gums. Your denture is held in place by metal clasps that attach to healthy, natural teeth that remain.Â
What are the benefits of removable partial dentures?
If you don’t qualify for implants or don’t want to deal with the lengthy recovery period, partial dentures could be just what you need to make your smile whole and healthy again. Getting partial dentures doesn’t require surgery, so the procedure is easier and quicker to complete.
Other benefits include:Â Â Â
- Improved ability to bite and chew
- Support for remaining natural teeth to prevent dental drift
- Less costly treatment
- Easy maintenance and care
- Flexible treatment

What are the different types of partial dentures?
The most common types of partial dentures are:
- Acrylic partial dentures
- Metal framework partials
- Flexible partial dentures
Drs. Schroyer and Duarte can explain more about these restorations, discuss their pros and cons and guide you to the best type for you.
What’s the process for getting partial dentures?
You’ll start with a consultation to evaluate your condition. We will examine your teeth, gums and jaw and discuss your options for replacing lost teeth and restoring your smile. If you decide to go with partial dentures, we’ll take impressions of your mouth to get accurate measurements for your new teeth. These impressions will be sent to a lab to have dentures custom-crafted for your use. When your dentures are ready, we’ll schedule a fitting to see how your new teeth look and feel and make any adjustments, if necessary, to improve comfort or functionality. Your treatment is complete when you feel comfortable and happy with your new teeth.
How do you care for partial dentures? Â
Partial dentures need quality care to keep them functioning as they should. These tips can help you keep your partials in good shape:
- Remove your partials after every meal and brush them gently to remove food particles and debris.
- Soak your partials in denture solution when not in use to keep them from becoming stiff.
- Handle your artificial teeth with care to prevent accidental damage.
- See your dentist regularly for biannual dental checkups and cleanings.
