Restore Your Smile and Confidence with Partial Dentures: Prabhu Dental

Missing teeth can significantly impact your ability to smile, chew, and speak clearly. Partial dentures at Prabhu Dental in Madurai offer a comfortable and cost-effective solution to replace missing teeth and restore functionality to your smile.

What are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures are removable replacements for one or more missing teeth. They are typically made of a plastic base that fits snugly over your gums and metal clasps that attach to your remaining teeth. Partial dentures can significantly improve your:

  • Smile Aesthetics: Partial dentures fill the gaps left by missing teeth, creating a more natural and complete smile.
  • Chewing Ability: Partial dentures restore proper chewing function, allowing you to enjoy a wider variety of foods with confidence.
  • Speech Clarity: Missing teeth can sometimes affect speech. Partial dentures help improve speech by providing support for your lips and tongue.
  • Facial Structure: Missing teeth can cause facial sagging. Partial dentures help maintain a youthful facial structure by supporting the cheeks and lips.

Benefits of Partial Dentures Compared to Other Options

  • Cost-Effective: Partial dentures are typically less expensive than dental implants or bridges.
  • Preserves Healthy Teeth: Partial dentures don't require altering healthy teeth like bridges do.
  • Comfortable and Removable: Partial dentures are comfortable to wear and can be easily removed for cleaning.

What to Expect When Getting Partial Dentures

The process of getting partial dentures typically involves multiple appointments at Prabhu Dental:

  • Consultation: During your initial consultation, your dentist will discuss your needs, examine your teeth and gums, and take X-rays to determine if partial dentures are the right option for you.
  • Impressions: Impressions will be taken of your teeth and gums to create a custom-made denture base.
  • Fitting and Adjustments: At subsequent appointments, your dentist will check the fit of the denture and make any necessary adjustments for optimal comfort and function.
