Many people who have missing teeth due to tooth decay or accidents are embarrassed to smile. They don’t like their appearance because of the gaps in their teeth, especially if they are in easy-to-see areas. Fortunately, there are many options for replacing missing teeth, including partials.
What Are Partials?
A partial, or partial dentures, is a dental prosthetic made to replace teeth. A partial, which is also known as a bridge, can replace one or several missing teeth and looks natural when people smile. Many bridges are made with a pink or gum-colored base to resemble natural teeth.
Depending on how many teeth it is replacing, a metal frame may be attached to the partial so that the replacement teeth are supported while it is in your mouth. Even though you have missing teeth that the bridge is replacing, another tooth or two may need to be extracted to provide space for the partial dentures to properly fit in your mouth.
Benefit of Wearing Partials
When you have missing teeth, other teeth near the empty area can shift out of place because they no longer have support. If they shift or tilt too much, it can interfere with your ability to eat properly and the teeth are more susceptible to damage from not being able to clean them properly. However, wearing a bridge can support the teeth on either side of the gap.
