Have Questions About Partial Dentures?
We’re here to help! Whether you’re curious about pricing, options, or what’s right for your smile, our team is happy to answer any questions—no pressure, just honest guidance.

What Are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures are a custom-crafted, removable tooth replacement solution designed for patients who still have healthy natural teeth. They restore function and aesthetics by filling gaps left by missing teeth—helping you chew, speak, and smile with confidence. At Pelican Dental Care in Vero Beach, we tailor each partial denture to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. Our precision-fit dentures are made with premium materials to ensure durability, comfort, and a natural appearance.

What Are the Different Partial Denture Options?

We offer three expertly designed types of partial dentures, each tailored to suit different comfort, strength, and aesthetic preferences:

  • Resin Base Partial Denture
    • Made entirely from high-quality acrylic resin for a clean, natural look.
    • Lightweight and easy to adjust, offering a smooth and comfortable fit during your smile restoration journey.
    • Often used as a transitional option during healing after extractions or while planning for long-term care.
  • Flexible Base Partial Denture
    • Constructed from a soft, flexible material that conforms to your gums.
    • Gum-colored and clasp-free for a natural, metal-free look.
    • Ideal for patients with metal allergies or sensitive gums.
  • Cast Metal Framework with Resin Denture Base
    • Features a slim, strong cobalt-chrome metal base for enhanced durability.
    • Combined with a resin base for natural-looking teeth.

How Long Does the Partial Denture Process Take?

The process of receiving your partial denture typically takes 2 to 4 weeks from the time impressions are taken. This timeline allows our trusted dental lab the necessary time to craft a high-quality, custom appliance that fits comfortably and looks natural.

During this period, our team at Pelican Dental Care will keep you informed and ensure everything stays on track for a smooth and successful fit.

  • Initial Impressions
    We take precise impressions of your mouth to begin the process.
  • Records Appointment
    Additional records and bite registrations are gathered to help our lab accurately design your denture.
  • Tooth Try-In
    You’ll preview the selected teeth in wax to confirm shade, shape, and alignment before final processing.
  • Final Delivery
    Your finished partial denture is delivered, adjusted for fit, and you're ready to smile with confidence.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Partial Dentures?

  • Partial dentures may be the right option if you:
    • Are missing several teeth but still have strong natural teeth in place.
    • Want to avoid full extractions or preserve your existing teeth.
    • Need a cost-effective, non-surgical tooth replacement.
    • Are looking for a temporary or long-term solution.
  • You may need alternatives if you:
    • Have advanced periodontal disease or severe bone loss
    • Prefer a fixed, permanent restoration like a bridge or implants.
    • Are missing most or all of your teeth—complete dentures or All-on-Implants may be a better fit.

What Are the Advantages of Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures offer several important benefits:

  • Preserves Natural Teeth – Maintains existing teeth while replacing the ones that are missing.
  • Restores Chewing & Speech – Improves bite strength and clarity of speech.
  • Prevents Facial Collapse – Supports facial muscles and prevents the sunken appearance of missing teeth.
  • Removable & Non-Invasive – Easy to clean and maintain, with no surgery required.
  • Budget-Friendly – Offers a lower-cost alternative to fixed bridges and implants.
  • Custom Fit & Natural Look – Designed to match the shape, color, and alignment of your natural teeth.

What Are the Limitations of Partial Dentures?

While partial dentures are a great option for many, they do have some limitations:

  • Less Stable than Implants or Bridges – Can shift slightly when eating or speaking
  • Requires Removal for Cleaning – Unlike bridges or implants, they must be taken out nightly.
  • Adjustments Over Time – As your bone and gums shift, periodic relining or repairs may be needed
  • Not a Fit for Severe Gum Disease – Patients with advanced periodontal issues may require treatment or alternative restorations.

Partial denture pricing can vary depending on the materials selected, the complexity of your case, and how customized the fit is.

How Do You Care for Partial Dentures?

Proper maintenance is key to maximizing the life of your partial denture.

  • Daily Care Tips:
    • Rinse after meals to remove food debris.
    • Brush gently with a soft toothbrush and denture cleanser—avoid regular toothpaste.
    • Soak in a denture solution overnight to maintain shape and cleanliness.
    • Avoid bending the clasps or using hot water, which can warp the material.
  • Long-Term Maintenance:
    • Notify us if you experience discomfort, looseness, or gum irritation.
