Are Partial Dentures a Good Choice for Me?

For people facing the loss of several teeth, natural-looking partial dentures can be a great alternative. Unlike complete sets of dentures, partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain. If you are considering ways to replace your lost teeth, this might be a good indication that partial dentures are the correct choice for you:

You want to maintain some of your natural teeth

If you’ve only lost a few teeth or need to have a few teeth extracted, it just doesn’t make sense to have your healthy teeth pulled too. At Scola Family Dentistry, Dr. Valerie Scola, after an examination, will recommend immediate partial dentures, allowing you to extract the teeth that are causing you pain and need to be removed, leaving the healthy ones in place. It’s a great way to have a healthy, natural-looking smile immediately after extraction.

You want to save money 

Partial dentures are much cheaper than complete sets. If you’re having teeth extracted simultaneously, opting to restore them with an immediate partial denture means that you don’t need to go without teeth. Furthermore, dentures tend to cost a lot less than an individual or multiple teeth implant- supported restorations.

You want to heal faster

Recovery time from a tooth extraction is only a few days; in fact, many people are back to work or their daily routine within a day or two. There is no additional recovery time added to the procedure with partial dentures.
