Are used when there are some teeth in the mouth. You can restore all your missing teeth on one removable appliance. A partial denture can be a full acrylic appliance with metal clasps that hug the teeth and retain the denture in the mouth, or it may have a metal framework coated with acrylic (gum-colored plastic) with metal clasps. Crowns are recommended on the teeth that hold the clasps for better fit and to protect them from being damaged by the clasps. Instead of clasps
precision attachments can be used which offer more aesthetic results than the metal clasps. Precision attachments are small “buttons” that are built in the crown and inside the partial denture as male-female so the metal part will not show. A partial denture is the choice for people who want a quick and affordable solution when they have a lot of missing teeth.
