Everyday & restorative care · Abilene, Texas
Replace what is missing. Care for what remains.
Partial dentures in Abilene for people who have some natural teeth and want to explore a removable replacement.
A closer look
A partial picture deserves a full exam
The position of missing teeth and the health of remaining teeth affect the design of a partial denture. We will start by understanding both, along with what feels difficult in daily life.
A removable option
A partial can replace several missing teeth while fitting around the teeth you still have. Ask your dentist how the proposed design is supported, how it will feel and how to remove and clean it.
Compare the alternatives
A bridge or implants may also be worth discussing. The right conversation includes the condition of supporting teeth, maintenance, treatment steps and the estimate for your plan.
Before your visit
A few good questions.
Can a partial replace teeth in different areas?
It may be an option, depending on your remaining teeth and the spaces involved. Your dentist will need to examine your mouth.
Is a partial fixed in place?
A removable partial is taken out for cleaning according to your dentist’s instructions. Fixed bridges are a different type of restoration.
What if I have no teeth in one arch?
Ask about full dentures and other replacement options. A partial generally relies on some natural teeth remaining.
