Whats the difference between a “fixed bridge” and a “partial denture”?
Both fixed bridges and partial dentures replace missing teeth. A fixed bridge is permanently attached to abutment teeth or, in many cases, dental implants. A partial denture is attached by clasps to the teeth and is easily removed by the patient. Oral hygiene is important in both situations. Patients often prefer fixed bridges to partial dentures, but both improve oral function.
