What Are Partial Dentures in Maryville?
Partial dentures in Maryville replace one or several missing teeth while preserving the rest of your natural smile. The dentist designs them to fit securely around your remaining teeth, filling in the gaps and restoring your ability to speak, chew, and smile easily. At Spencer Dental, we build all our partials in-house, ensuring a faster turnaround and a more accurate fit.
Benefits of Choosing Partial Dentures
Patients choose partial dentures for many reasons. Here are some of the top advantages:
- Preserve your remaining natural teeth
Partials anchor to healthy teeth, keeping them from shifting out of place. - Improve your chewing and speech.
Replacing missing teeth makes everyday functions easier and more comfortable. - Maintain your facial structure.
Partials provide support for your cheeks and jaw, preventing a sunken appearance. - Affordable and non-invasive
Compared to implants or bridges, partials are a cost-effective and conservative solution. - Custom fit and natural appearance
Our doctors match each partial to your existing teeth for a seamless blend.
Who Needs Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures work best for patients with healthy teeth in their upper or lower arch. If you’re missing several teeth but don’t need a full denture, a partial can restore function while preserving what’s left of your natural smile. You may benefit from partials if you:
- Lost teeth due to injury, decay, or age
- Want a removable, non-surgical solution
- Need a reliable option while waiting for implants
- Are you looking for a long-lasting yet budget-conscious treatment
Our Process for Partial Dentures
We follow a clear, detailed process for every partial denture case to ensure comfort, precision, and satisfaction from start to finish.
Step 1: Consultation and Digital Imaging
The dentist begins with a comprehensive exam, using digital X-rays, CBCT scans, and intraoral photography to evaluate your oral health. We’ll check the condition of your gums and surrounding teeth and discuss your goals and preferences.
Step 2: Personalized Treatment Plan
After assessing your mouth, we build a customized treatment plan for you. The doctor selects the materials, design, and framework that best suit your needs and explains every step.
Step 3: In-House Design and Fabrication
We take high-accuracy impressions using digital tools and start crafting your partial dentures in our office. By handling everything in-house, we reduce wait times and ensure each denture matches your bite and smile exactly.
Step 4: Fitting and Adjustments
Once your partials are ready, you’ll return for a fitting. The dentist makes precise adjustments for a secure, comfortable fit. We tweak the alignment or structure to eliminate discomfort and optimize function if needed.
Step 5: Long-Term Maintenance
We teach you how to care for your new partials at home and schedule regular check-ins to ensure everything continues to fit. Our team remains available for questions or repairs if anything changes over time.
