Partial Dentures at Space Dental

Replace Missing Teeth Without Surgery Partial dentures offer an effective, non-invasive solution when you’re missing some teeth but still have healthy natural teeth remaining. These custom-made prosthetics use a combination of acrylic teeth and metal framework with clasps that attach securely to your existing teeth. Unlike bridges that require grinding down adjacent teeth or implants that need surgery, partial dentures preserve your natural tooth structure whilst filling gaps and restoring function. The result is a complete smile that helps you eat, speak, and laugh with renewed confidence.

Affordable Restoration That Protects Your Smile Our partial dentures do more than just fill gaps – they actively protect your oral health by preventing remaining teeth from shifting into empty spaces. This maintains your bite alignment and facial structure whilst distributing chewing forces evenly across all teeth. The removable design allows for easy cleaning and maintenance, and with proper care, your partial denture can last many years. During your consultation, we’ll assess your oral health and create a bespoke treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and preferences.

Restoring smiles, preserving natural teeth

Our partial dentures combine affordability with effectiveness, giving you a complete smile whilst protecting and supporting your remaining natural teeth for optimal oral health.

Frequently asked questions

Partial dentures use metal clasps that grip your natural teeth securely, combined with the precise fit against your gums. The design distributes pressure evenly, keeping the denture stable whilst eating and speaking. No adhesives are needed, and the clasps are positioned to be as discreet as possible.

We recommend removing partial dentures at night to give your gums and remaining teeth a rest. This also allows you to properly clean the denture and your mouth. Sleeping without them helps maintain healthy gums and prevents potential infections or irritation.

There's usually a brief adjustment period of 1-2 weeks where speech may feel different. Most patients quickly adapt and speak normally. Practising reading aloud helps speed up the adjustment. Modern partial dentures are designed to minimise speech interference.

With proper care, partial dentures typically last 5-7 years. They may need adjustments during this time as your mouth naturally changes. Regular dental checkups help ensure optimal fit and identify when repairs or replacement might be needed.

Modern partial dentures are designed to look natural and blend with your remaining teeth. We carefully match the colour and shape to your natural teeth. While metal clasps may be slightly visible, we position them as discreetly as possible, often where they're hidden when you smile.
