Partial denture and skeletal denture

A partial denture replaces missing teeth, restoring chewing comfort and the aesthetics of your smile, while protecting the remaining teeth from shifting and overloading. Modern designs, such as skeletal dentures, are lightweight and stable.

Partial denture: when is it worth getting one

We recommend replacing missing teeth as soon as possible, as every un-restored gap triggers the shifting of adjacent teeth, the extrusion of opposing ones, and the overloading of those remaining. A partial denture is a good solution for extensive or scattered gaps when a bridge or implants are not possible at the given moment. It restores chewing, speech, and a full smile.

Skeletal denture: a more comfortable form of partial denture

A skeletal denture is based on a precisely designed, lightweight metal frame that transfers chewing forces onto the patient's own teeth, rather than just the gums. Thanks to this, it is smaller, thinner and more stable than an acrylic denture, covers less of the palate, and has less of an impact on speech and taste perception. However, it requires a sufficient number of remaining, strong teeth.

How treatment and adaptation proceed

Following an examination and analysis of the oral conditions, we design the denture structure, take impressions, and carry out a trial fitting to assess the fit and aesthetics. The finished denture is fitted, and we provide instructions on its use and hygiene. Adaptation usually takes a few weeks, and short adjustment visits allow us to quickly eliminate any potential pressure points.
