Many people put off getting dentures until they have lost all their teeth, but it is far better to get partial dentures because they will keep your remaining teeth in the right place and prevent wear and tear on your jaw from teeth that are not properly aligned. Partials may feel uncomfortable at first, but you will get used to them.

1. The Advantages OfHaving Partial Dentures Fitted
Many people dislike the idea of having dentures as they have had parents or other relatives who have
had a lot of trouble and pain with theirs. However, these days things can be different and getting partial
dentures really helps to stop the problems that your parents or grandparents may have had. For a start,
they didn’t have partials to help their teeth and jaws stay in alignment. They probably went for some years
with some teeth missing before they bothered getting false teeth.
They would have had all the trouble of the teeth they had left drifting towards the vacant spot as well as
their bite changing. When they got dentures it was a full plate and the technology for fitting it was not as
precise as it is these days. Having a partial will prevent these problems and help your remaining teeth to
stay in place so that you can chew better.
It also helps your jaw line, cheeks and mouth to stay looking the same instead of shrinking and sinking,
giving that aged look that people without teeth get. If you have only had a few teeth out and still have
some strong ones left, if is wise to utilize a partial plate; one that can be wired into place using those teeth
as the anchors. Such a plate will be more comfortable than a full plate.
Such devices are also known as dental bridges as they bridge the gap between your natural teeth. It will
support your lips as well as your cheeks so that you look better and can chew better. You will also have
healthier jaws when they are properly aligned, saving wear and tear that can cause pain. Although
partials will usually feel uncomfortable at first, you will soon get used to them.
However, there are some alternatives to having a part plate. Bridges and implants can be suitable for you;
depending on how many teeth are missing and whether your jaw and remaining teeth are in good
condition. Of course, you can avoid having anything like that if you take good care of your teeth all the
time.
Some people can benefit from porcelain veneers to cover crooked or very stained teeth. The teeth need
to be structurally strong to have this treatment, which is simply a thin layer of porcelain applied over the
natural teeth. The enamel may be sanded back a little first, to allow room for the thickness of the
covering. Such treatment can give you a fantastic smile that you will always be proud of.
