Partial Dentures also known as “crown and bridge” dentures, are made from crowns that are fitted on the remaining teeth. Partial Dentures are held in place by the remaining natural teeth.

Dentures that fit well during the first few years will not necessarily fit well for the rest of the person’s lifetime. This is because the bone and structures of the mouth are living tissues, which are change over time. The use of dentures is being phased out as implant technology is replacing the need for repeat visits to adapt dentures to changes in the mouth.
