I wish u well: A partial denture is nothing more than a piece of metal and plastic that we use to mimic missing teeth. You can expect it will negatively affect speech, eating, swallowing, kissing, confidence and well being. Depending on how many teeth it replaces it may take 2-3 month for u to feel comfortable. Some people never adapt. Ur dentist can help w/ur transition. It need to be replace every 5-8 years.

Partial dentures: Are one of several ways that dentists can replace missing teeth. Other options include bridges and implants. Which option is best for you depends on how many and which teeth are missing, your health and your financial resources. Your dentist can help guild you. Regardless of which option you choose any of them are better than having empty spaces and will improve looks and ability to eat.
