Partial dentures are for those missing one of more teeth. Unlike dental bridges or implants, partials are a removable dental appliance. Removable partials allow patients to clean and care for the appliance, instead of it remaining in the mouth. Be sure to remove the partial at night and to clean it every day to decrease the chance of bacteria lingering while it is in your mouth. As with full dentures, attending regular dental exams to care for your remaining teeth and your overall oral health is a very integral part of having restorative appliances.
