What an RPD Is Made Of
- Framework – a metal or flexible base that fits around your natural teeth for support
- Replacement teeth – custom-made to match the shade and shape of your natural teeth
- Clasps or attachments – small components that hold the denture securely in place against your existing teeth
What Happens During Treatment
- Consultation & examination – assessing which teeth are missing and the condition of your remaining teeth and gums
- Impressions – a precise mold of your mouth to design a denture that fits your bite exactly
- Framework try-in – checking the fit of the base before the final teeth are added
- Final fitting – your finished RPD is checked for comfort, bite, and appearance
- Follow-up adjustments – fine-tuning the fit as needed, especially in the first few weeks
Why Choose a Removable Partial Denture
- Preserves natural teeth – no need to alter healthy teeth as with a bridge
- Cost-effective – generally more affordable than implants or fixed bridges
- Removable for cleaning – easy to take out and clean thoroughly
- Prevents shifting – keeps remaining teeth from drifting into the gap left by missing teeth
Who This Is For
- Patients missing several teeth but who still have healthy teeth remaining
- Anyone looking for a non-surgical, budget-friendly option to replace missing teeth
- Patients not ready for or interested in dental implants
Note: for patients missing all their teeth in an arch, a complete denture is used instead – see our dedicated Dentures page for the full range of options.
