Many a times you lose one or a couple of teeth due to decay or accidents. Having missing teeth can be quite frustrating as well as embarrassing. In such a case if one doesn’t want to get surgery done for implants, a good option is to get partial dentures. Partial dentures are also a very good option when you have missing teeth in different places in your mouth.
Partial dentures are quite effective and look extremely natural. A well made set can be almost indistinguishable from the remaining natural teeth. Partial dentures mainly work by using suction and support from adjacent teeth to hold the false teeth in place.
Partial dentures are generally fixed using clasps. However one question new patients often ask is do unsightly partial denture clasps have an effect on remaining natural teeth.
In fact unsightly partial denture clasps do have an effect on remaining natural teeth. Partial denture clasps hold the denture in place by resting on and around adjacent natural teeth. These clasps are firm enough to hold the denture in place when talking and other activities, but also removable when required.
Unsightly partial denture clasps can have an effect on remaining natural teeth because sometimes the teeth may need to be shaved down to the right shape and size to hold the clasp. Sometimes a crown may need to be attached so that the clasp can be fixed properly. This work on the adjacent teeth may shake its foundation and cause some damage too.
