And now onto our blog topic for today!

Flexible based partials are a great way to replace teeth. No metal, with a flexible base to help with ease and comfort for wear. Can be made in 2-3 visits.

Metal framework partials are one of the strongest forms of removable partial dentures. They are very ridged and resistant to fracture compared to the all resin alternatives. 

All resin based partials are the most economical of tooth replacement options. Clasping is normally a wrought wire that is flexible. Clasping can also be in a gum or clear colored less visible clasp as an upgrade to the most basic version. They are easier to make modifications to if additional teeth need to be added in the future.

Home care:

As with any removable appliance, be sure to store safely away fiorom your pets who may like to chew on them! 

-Never store in a hot car and brush them with a toothbrush or denture brush. 

-Do not use any abrasive toothpastes. 

-Some colorful mouthwashes can cause them to take up stains more easily. Try to stick with a dentukre safe cleaning/storage solution.
