Book Your Appointment

Schedule a consultation with a denturist for partial dentures to discuss your needs, available materials, partial plate designs and temporary tooth-replacement options.

Signs You May Need Partial Dentures

One or more missing teeth can affect your smile, bite, speech and ability to chew comfortably. The surrounding teeth may also shift toward an untreated space over time.


Removable partial dentures can replace several missing teeth while working with your remaining natural teeth. During your consultation, we will assess your mouth and discuss whether a partial denture or another treatment is appropriate.

Dental Flippers for Temporary Tooth Replacement

A dental flipper is a lightweight, removable partial denture that temporarily replaces one or more missing teeth. It may be used after an extraction, following unexpected tooth loss or while planning a longer-term restoration.


Sometimes called a flipper tooth or oral flipper, this option can help maintain your appearance during treatment. Suitability depends on the location of the missing tooth, your bite and your overall treatment plan.

Partial Dentures vs Dental Bridges

Partial dentures and dental bridges can both replace missing teeth, but they differ in design, support and daily care.

Partial Dentures

  • Removable for cleaning
  • Can replace one or several missing teeth
  • Use replacement teeth attached to a denture base
  • May use clasps or other components for support
  • Can sometimes be adjusted as the mouth changes
  • Require removal and daily cleaning

Dental Bridges

  • Fixed in place and not removed for cleaning
  • Commonly replace one or more adjacent teeth
  • Supported by nearby teeth or dental implants
  • Require cleaning underneath and around the bridge
  • Must be planned and provided by a dentist
  • May involve treatment of supporting teeth

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What are partial dentures?

    Partial dentures are removable appliances that replace one or more missing teeth while working with the remaining natural teeth. They may be made with acrylic, metal or a combination of materials.

  • What is a partial plate, and how does it work?

    A partial plate is another name for a removable partial denture. It fills spaces left by missing teeth and may use clasps or other components to gain support from the remaining teeth and oral tissues.

  • What is a dental flipper?

    A dental flipper is a lightweight temporary partial denture used to replace one or more teeth. It may be worn after an extraction or while a patient waits for a longer-term tooth-replacement solution.

  • Will partial dentures affect chewing or speech?

    New partial dentures may initially feel unfamiliar and temporarily affect eating or speech. Most patients improve with practice. Persistent discomfort or difficulty should be assessed by your denturist.

  • What if my partial denture feels loose?

    A loose partial denture may require professional partial denture adjustments, relining, repair or replacement. Do not bend the clasps or alter the denture yourself, as this may cause damage.

  • How do I know if I should choose implants instead?

    Implant-supported options may offer additional stability, but they are not appropriate for everyone. Your oral health, available bone, treatment goals, timing and budget must be evaluated professionally.
