Conventional Partials

Conventional Partials

A removable partial denture (RPD) is for a partially edentulous dental patient who desires to have replacement teeth for functional or aesthetic reasons, and who cannot have a bridge (a fixed partial denture) for any number of reasons, such as a lack of required teeth to serve as support for a bridge (i.e. distal abutments) or due to financial limitations.

The reason why this type of prosthesis is referred to as a removable partial denture is because patients remove and reinsert them by themselves. This needs to be done twice a day as part of the patient's oral hygiene routine. The patient must be sure to brush the partial denture, especially any clasps that hook on to the natural teeth.

Outstanding staff. Mark is the best. Myself and my parents have been patients since 1962. We always have been treated well, starting with Sam!
