When faced with tooth loss, some people may think getting full dentures is their only option. But in some cases, partial dentures could be just as effective.
Key takeaways:
- Partial dentures can be an option if you’re only missing one or a few teeth.
- They can also work as a temporary solution while other options are being considered.
- You could be a candidate as long as you have enough supporting bone left.
You may also benefit from implants and bridges. Ask your dentist about the most suitable restoration options.
