What is removable partial bridgework (partial dentures)?
Removable partial bridgework can be used in certain cases when there are still enough key natural teeth remaining in the mouth. Partial bridgework is removable by the patient, which makes cleaning the teeth and partial bridge easier. The prosthetic teeth on partial bridgework can look very natural and are made from high impact dental materials. Partial dentures usually incorporate special attachments to help hold them in place. Removable partial dentures rest on the teeth and soft gum tissues for support. This usually allows the patient the opportunity to choose a variety of treatment options.
