Can prosthetic teeth keep your natural teeth from 'shifting'?

Yes: Properly constructed, the placement of a dental prosthetic device can prevent the shifting of natural teeth that would otherwise occur following tooth extraction.

Yes: Yes they can as they hold open the space that the teeth would like to shift into.

Yes: If you have a removable partial denture made, it can be designed to retain your existing teeth in the place they are now. Remember, the soon you treat a tooth problem, the less costly it will be. These problems only get worse as time moves on.
