What are removable partial dentures?

Attach to teeth: Removable partial dentures replace some but not all of your teeth. They have metal or acrylic clasps that grab on to your remaining natural teeth. Dentures replace all of your teeth.

PARTIALS: Removable partial dentures are designed for patients that have a few missing teeth. They usually clasp onto existing teeth or sit on the missing tooth ridge. These are contrast to full dentures in which the patient is missing all of their teeth on the arch.

Tooth replacements: A removable partial denture is a prosthesis that can be put into and taken out of your mouth manually. It replaces one or more of missing teeth in your upper or lower arch, and usually in some way holds onto the remaining teeth in that arch. Partials are routinely made by prosthodontists.

Replace some teeth: They are removable, not fixed. They replace only some of your teeth , as you have some of your own remaining teeth which they connect to for stability and retention.
