A Partial is Essential

September 12, 2023 by Vernon Denture Clinic

When most people think of a denture, they envision a removable appliance that replaces all of the teeth on either the upper or lower arch. However, the number of people in Canada who are missing all of their teeth has declined – from 17% of the population in 1990 to 6.4% in 2009. And as the numbers of denture wearers in Canada has remained relatively consistent over the years, this tells us that we are seeing more and more people wearing partial dentures.

A partial denture is an appliance that replaces missing teeth when some natural teeth remain on that arch. For many patients, a partial denture is worn to improve their smiles by filling in the gaps presented by missing teeth. In addition to the obvious aesthetic improvements, there are several important benefits these patients achieve by wearing a partial denture.
