Partial dentures in Kingman

Partial dentures are used if you're missing some teeth in your upper (maxillary) or lower (mandibular) jaws. A removable partial denture is also known as a removable dental bridge. A removable dental bridge fills the gap between two healthy teeth and consists of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored plastic base. Removable partial dentures are connected by a metal framework that helps keep them in place. The denture fabrication process will take weeks and several visits to complete.

During the first visit, Dr. Haynes will take an impression. This gives her an exact mold to use when creating your partial denture.

The second appointment will be a frame work try-in (skip this step for flexible base option). Making sure that the metal frame work fits comfortably into prepared rest seats on selected teeth.

The next appointment will be the wax-rims. This will consist of making sure that your bite is correct with measurements using wax blocks, and choosing a tooth shade.

The following appointment will be the wax try-in. This step is very important because you give your approval of fit, comfort, and look. Once you have given the approval the partial denture will be sent back to our lab and processed to completion. One week later your partial denture will be ready to deliver.

The final appointment will be the delivery usually involving some adjustments to get the fit just right. Sore spots may develop so you are encouraged to come in to get adjustments as needed.

(This procedure will have several visits depending on the materials and approval needed. Each appointment will be about 30min)
