Partial Denture
Partial dentures are used when some natural teeth still remain, and are in good condition. A custom removable appliance is made to fit in-between all remaining teeth, creating a full beautiful smile, while adding extra support to your natural teeth at the same time.
Partial dentures can be made from several different materials, creating flexible and non-flexible options. The style that will best suit you depends on numerous factors, such as the position, stability, and number of teeth remaining.

A. If you are missing many of your lower teeth this will probably create bad eating habits. Food starts to digest in your mouth as you start chewing if you are missing your teeth for a long period of time this will cause your digestive system to work much harder, having partial denture can prevent all these problems from happening. Your tongue is also the most important part of the mouth and when you are missing your lower teeth for a long period of time without partial denture, your tongue will start to become abnormal, it becomes larger than normal which can cover any empty spaces where the teeth is missing in your lower jaw this will make it very difficult to adapt to the lower denture in future.
