Partial Dentures

Wearing your partial dentures regularly is a lot more important than you might think! If you stop wearing them for a week or two for any reason, complications could be just around the corner!

First of all, wearing a partial prosthesis helps improve digestion by involving all the teeth in the chewing process. Similarly, without protection, you could injure your gums or make them more susceptible to infection. Over the long term, dentures also prevent your natural teeth from drifting, while limiting the likelihood of wear or premature loss. Dentures also help slow bone recession (the thinning of your jawbone).
