Dentures are a removable prosthesis that can restore the ability to eat and smile. When patients have several missing teeth, loose teeth or painful teeth, it can become difficult to eat, speak and enjoy life. Food is the source of nutrition for our body and a smile is nutrition for the mind. A healthy smile is important for overall well-being and confidence.

Partial Dentures

Removable partial dentures are another great option for replacing missing teeth. Partial dentures in Austin are generally recommended if a patient is missing more than 1 – 2 teeth. Sometimes referred to as an “RPD” or a “flipper”, this option restores function and aesthetics for a patient. As the name implies, this is a removable partial that comes in and out of your mouth and is not cemented to any teeth.

It is recommended to leave your partial dentures out of the mouth at night before going to bed. It is also very important to remove and clean your partial after meals, as food has tendency to get between partial. The process of making a RPD involves taking good quality impressions (molds) of your teeth and fitting a partial around your existing teeth which may take up to 3 visits.
