Things You Need To Know About Removable Partial Dentures

The prosthetic teeth are attached with the #gum shaped plastic to form partial and full dentures. If you are in the need of partial dentures, your dentist will note down your requirements and get those #dentures prepared for you. Typically, the partial dentures have a metal framework and clasps that get hold of the other permanent teeth in order to get the denture settled in place. In some cases, the precision attachments are used instead of metal framework and clasps. The benefit of precision attachment is that they make the denture to look a natural part of your smile.

 

In certain scenarios, the crowns on natural teeth may be required for the proper fitting of partial dentures. Generally, the dentures with precision attachments are more expensive as compared to the ones with metal framework.
