A partial dental prosthesis, unlike a complete one, compensates for one or more lost teeth and their supporting structures. It relies on the remaining natural teeth and surroundings, and like a complete prosthesis, it is mobile, which means it can be removed and returned to the mouth. Maintaining oral hygiene is also of utmost importance in this case.
A partial dental prosthesis is recommended when it is not possible to do a fixed replacement, i.e., a bridge. The reasons for this can vary, from not having enough teeth in the jaw to periodontally compromised teeth, resorbed bone, etc. Their creation is important also to prevent disturbances in the position of the teeth in the dental arch, i.e., to prevent them from surfacing towards the edentulous parts of the jaw, but also to preserve the function of the jaw joint, the appearance of the face, and other disorders. Patients decide to make a partial dental prosthesis because of its price. The process of making a partial prosthesis is very similar to a complete one. At the examination during the diagnostics, we determine the need for a partial dental prosthesis and determine its type, and then we arrange with the patient the appearance of the future work and the plan of making. This is followed by taking impressions and all necessary parameters and making the prosthesis in our laboratory. After trying on your prosthesis and checking whether it meets all functional and aesthetic requirements, the completion of its production follows, and upon delivery, we give you advice on chewing, maintaining the prosthesis, and oral hygiene. At the control examination, it is possible, if necessary, to make corrections to the prosthesis.
A partial dental prosthesis will restore your chewing function, improve speech, and enhance the aesthetics of your face. It can be made as a temporary solution until the final prosthetic work but, given that this prosthesis is not fixed to the base, its stability may be weaker, it may lift and damage or loosen the natural teeth it leans on. That is why wherever possible we suggest a combined model of prosthesis, which has both fixed and mobile parts. However, even though they are made relatively quickly and their price is lower compared to fixed implant solutions, and there are no oral surgical procedures or long recovery, we are always here to inform you about the disadvantages of this type of prosthesis, primarily when it comes to instability and unnatural feeling. As an alternative, there are fixed implant solutions that rely on installed implants, and they differ in the material of construction, method of installation, but also in durability and quality. When making a decision to solve your problem with a lack of teeth, consider all these options, and you are welcome to come to us for professional consultations.
