Removable Prosthodontics by Charleston Dental Associates
Charleston Dental Associates offers removable prosthodontics, including partials and full dentures, for our patients throughout the Charleston SC area.
Partials by Charleston Dental Associates
A partial is a dental appliance that replaces one or more natural teeth. Unlike a fixed bridge, you are able to remove a partial from the mouth when you wish. A partial uses a pink acrylic base to attach the teeth to be replaced. Metal clasps fit around your remaining teeth to stabilize the partial in the mouth.
A partial may have:
- Metal framework and metal clasp with the acrylic and teeth attached
- Connectors to crowns which eliminate the need for clasp
- Nylon or vinyl material to eliminate metal framework
Complete Dentures by Charleston Dental Associates
Complete dentures are worn by patients who are missing all the teeth in a single arch. Complete dentures can restore a natural facial appearance (mitigating that “sunken” look) and can correct loss of supporting structures due to tooth loss. The addition of dental implants can increase the stability and function of a complete dental restoration.
Full Function, Natural Look Partials and Dentures
Restorative dentistry can help when you are missing some, several, or all of your teeth. Well-constructed partials and complete dentures by Charleston Dental Associates can provide full dental function that looks and feels natural.
