What are partial
dentures?
Partial dentures are dentures that replace only a few missing teeth.
How do you wear
a removable partial denture?
Removable partial
dentures are attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or
devices called precision attachments.
How long will it
take to get used to wearing a partial denture?
Your partial denture may
feel awkward or bulky for the first few weeks, but your mouth will
eventually get used to it.
How long should
you wear a partial denture?
Initially, you may want to wear your partial denture all the time.
Your dentist will give you specific instructions on how long it should
be worn and when it should be removed. Generally, your mouth tissues
need to rest so it is advisable that you take out your partial denture
at least 15 minutes per day.
Will the partial
denture change the way you speak?
Your partial denture may
help your speech. It can be difficult to speak clearly when you are
missing teeth. However, it also will take time to get used to it. |
