What Are Partial Dentures?

For some patients, a flexible partial denture is the best option for meeting their needs. Flexible partials are made of a material that conforms and adapts to the patient's soft tissues (gums). They do not contain any metal like conventional cast-metal partial dentures. This can be a cosmetic advantage when patients are concerned about smiling and displaying metal clasps that attach to the anterior teeth. Find out more about dentures.
