Missing teeth can make eating, speaking, and smiling more difficult. Partial dentures offer a functional and natural-looking solution by filling gaps—keeping your remaining teeth in place. They restore confidence and improve daily function with a design focused on comfort and durability.
At Edgemont Dental, we create high-quality partial dentures in Montclair, NJ, for a natural fit and long-term comfort. We custom-make each denture to match your teeth in shape, size, and color for a natural, functional smile.
Partial dentures come in different materials and designs based on your dental needs. The right choice depends on durability, comfort, and long-term use.
Metal vs. Acrylic Partial Dentures
Dr. Davidson designs each custom partial denture to distribute chewing forces evenly across the remaining teeth and gums. This balance helps protect the jaw and prevents excess strain on any single tooth.
Denture with Ball-Socket Attachments
Some partial dentures feature ball-socket attachments, providing additional benefits such as:
Ball-socket dentures offer extra reinforcement for those who need added support beyond a traditional partial denture.
Gaps left by missing teeth allow neighboring teeth to shift over time, leading to misalignment and bite issues. A partial denture acts as a placeholder. It can prevent unwanted movement and keep your teeth in proper alignment.
Chewing with missing teeth can be difficult. Doing so without dentures may lead to digestive issues if food isn’t properly broken down. Partial dentures restore chewing function, allowing you to eat a wider variety of foods for better digestion and nutrition.
Missing teeth can cause slurring or difficulty pronouncing certain words. Partial dentures support the tongue and lips to make speech clearer and more natural. They also help maintain the structure of your face by preventing the sunken appearance that can occur when teeth are missing.
Wearing a partial denture for the first time takes some adjustment. It may feel unusual at first, but most patients adapt quickly. Here are some tips to help: Practice Speaking: Reading out loud or talking more often helps your tongue and lips adjust. Start with Soft Foods: Gradually introduce tougher foods as you get used to chewing with your denture. Keep It Clean: Brush your denture daily. Soak it overnight to maintain hygiene and extend its lifespan
