Dental partials, a term used to refer to removable partial dentures or RPDs for short, are a viable tooth replacement option.  Partials are used to replace teeth that are missing in instances when a patient has several natural teeth still in place.  Partials are removable, meaning they are not permanently connected to the jaw bone or teeth.  Removable partial dentures are created based on replicas of the patient’s mouth.  Clasps are added to ensure the natural teeth remain in position. 

Removable partial denture types include a variety with a metal framework including clasps, those with connecting pieces that look natural and RPDs with comparably precise attachments.  Partials are affordable, effective, fast and relatively simple.  If you are missing a tooth or need a tooth replaced, reach out to our dental practice at (304) 252-7311 to schedule an appointment where we determine if you are a good candidate for partials.  You can reach our dentist in Beckley by dialing (304) 252-7311.  Give us a call today and it might not be long until you have partials that look just like regular teeth.
