What is the difference between dentures, partials and bridges?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
FIXED OR REMOVABLE: The term denture can be used for something which comes out (removable) or cemented in place (fixed). Partial means 1 or more teeth are being replaced. Full means all teeth are being replaced.
