Removable Partial Dentures in Apex
When some natural teeth remain, a removable partial denture (RPD) can be a reliable way to restore chewing function, improve esthetics, and stabilize your bite. At Apex Prosthodontics, we design partial dentures that integrate seamlessly with your remaining teeth-helping you smile, speak, and eat with greater comfort and confidence. Our goal is to provide a solution that looks natural, fits comfortably, and supports your long-term oral health.
A Functional, Natural-Looking Option for Tooth Replacement
Modern partial dentures are thoughtfully designed to match your natural teeth and contribute to
a balanced, healthy bite. They can be an excellent choice when bridges or implants are not
possible, not desired, or need to be combined with other treatment.
Benefits of removable partial dentures include restoring chewing ability so you can enjoy a
wider variety of foods, improving speech, enhancing facial support, protecting remaining teeth
by preventing shifting, and providing an esthetic result that blends naturally with your smile.
How Removable Partial Dentures Work
Partial dentures fill the spaces created by missing teeth and anchor to your remaining natural
teeth for support. They may be made entirely from acrylic or combined with metal frameworks for
strength and stability, depending on your needs.
Each partial denture is custom-made and carefully designed to restore balanced chewing function,
improve comfort and bite alignment, preserve the health of your remaining teeth and gums, and
provide a natural appearance and secure fit. In some cases, partial dentures may also be
combined with crowns, implants, or periodontal therapy as part of a comprehensive treatment
plan.
Caring for Your Partial Denture
Proper maintenance keeps your partial denture comfortable, clean, and long-lasting. We recommend brushing the denture daily with a soft brush, storing it in water or a denture-safe solution when not in use, brushing your natural teeth and gums each day, and visiting us regularly for evaluations and adjustments. Because the mouth changes over time, periodic relines or updates may be recommended to maintain comfort and stability.
