I've had to wait for a few years for a partial denture to replace 4 molars. My lower wisdom teeth are very healthy and they are the abutments. This device has changed everything in my mouth, and in my digestion. I also had my two front teeth replaced with two crowns recently and that has improved my ability to eat with "grace". I'm not excited or even tempted by implants. The thought of all the time wasted waiting for healings and all the surgery and the expense is not worth the hassle at my age... mid 70's. I've found that a well measured adhesive makes the prosthesis really comfortable and if the adhesive is applied properly and according to the directions I get complete protection and comfort all day. (For al least 12 hours ) I"m now on month 4 with it and I even forget that it is in my mouth and the crowns have settled in without any sensitivity. It's good to have my teeth back and I really enjoy my food more. Always remember to chew your food on both sides at the same time! It takes a bit of planning and soon it becomes muscle memory. This way of chewing keeps your partial stable in your mouth and avoids loosening of adhesive, no matter how strong it might be. I use an Ultra Hold type and it still is important for comfort and that natural feeling of eating. If your lower partial is even a tad uncomfortable get your prosthodontist to adjust it immediately. DON'T do it yourself! Usually you have a year of free adjustment with your clinician. They are only too happy to help; it's their work of art and your comfort and the safety of your heathy teeth holding them in!
It's my day 3 today of having partial dentures. My gums hurts to the point yesterday my gums is bleeding. :( Im hoping it will get better soon though its hard to adjust specially speaking words with S (which is kinda embarassing).
just got my 3-tooth partial. Dentist was great! Extracted 2 teeth at the gum line. Easy peasy. Day 3 for me. No pain. Only thing is my speech is bugging me. Does it get better?
Getting my 4 front tooth extracted due to injury ?& failed root canals! I'll be getting an upper partial. I feel so sad and lonely since i'm only 30 and I dont know anyone whose gone through something similar. please feel free to reach out if you have any words of encouragement or advice!
You should look up Kalinjax. I’m 35 and was advised to get partials but I don’t think my front teeth are worth saving. I was in a blessing of a car accident where I was awarded enough money to really fix them and I think the best option for me is all on 4. Ultimately I wish I could keep my real teeth but I don’t think restoring what I have will be a permanent solution and later down the road I may not have the money to get implants so I’ve got some appointments next week with other dentists
@@morrocangirl-hu6qhyup . Aside from the exorbitant cost for me which I imagine I’ll end up having paid three times the amount because of monthly payments since I cannot pay them in full , the thought of them drilling into my jaw and then hammering down the posts in there …I can’t stomach the thought . I do worry though about shrinkage of more gums and bone with the passage of time . 😢
I was born without canine teeth and I also have a big gap between my front teeth. With aging (I'm almost 60), the gap is getting bigger, and my teeth are starting to stick out more. I want the four front teeth removed, and I want to get a partial denture with 6 teeth. I just want to see what l would look like with normal teeth before I die. I'm sick of being embarrassed about my teeth.
I'm sorry to hear about your concerns regarding your dental situation. It's entirely understandable to want to address these issues and improve your confidence and quality of life. Discussing your concerns with a dentist is the first step towards finding a suitable solution. They can evaluate your oral health, discuss treatment options, and provide guidance on whether a partial denture would be a suitable choice for you. Restoring your smile can have a positive impact on your self-esteem, and your dentist can help you achieve the results you desire. Don't hesitate to reach out to a dental professional to explore your options and work towards your goal of having a more confident smile.
i m dealing with the same case , its been 3 years , get my root canal back in 2019 , now in 2023 i m gona have Partial denture(a single removeable teeth) soon , What u,ve done to yours??
I just started wearing my bottom partial. I had started before for 2 days hurt so bad. Went back to get adjustment i have been able to wear the last 3 days however my gums are sore and when i have them in i have to eat soft foods. Does anyone know will this get better and will my gums eventually get used to it and stop hurting. I feel like almost a raw area. Is there something I can use to help ease the pain.
Wearing a partial denture for the first time can be a challenging adjustment. It's common to experience soreness and discomfort initially. Over time, your gums will likely adapt, and the discomfort should subside. To ease the pain, you can try using a denture adhesive for added stability, and if the soreness persists, consult your dentist for further adjustments to ensure a comfortable fit. Patience and proper care will play a significant role in making this transition smoother.
I have a partial for 2 of my teeth and it is made out of a nylon resin material which resembles my natural gums. You can't tell they I have a partial. You don't have to get the one with metal.
@@ADayWithMel It all depends on particular situation. You were missing only 2 teeth, then a partial without any metal can be easily accommodated. If a person is missing more teeth then a plastic only partial would be very unstable and a metal brace and clasps have to be used. I am just wondering what the long term effect on the body is going to be having a chunk of metal in the mouth.
I’m missing 9 teeth. 5 upper and 4 lower. I got clasp in partials. They are perfect but little sore. I recommend!
I have exactly the same missing teeth as you and in the next few months after surgery I'm getting partial dentures scared but excited
@@naomie4748 They are soooo much better! It’s takes a while to get used to smiling again tho 😂
Were they your back or front teeth ?
Cost was ? Quality level ? Still happy with them ? TY David
@@psalm2forliberty577 Mostly back but 3 in the front. And yes I am still happy with them.
Do you mean metal partials ?

The good news is you probably know a lot of people and can't tell.

@@MedicalCentric thank you so much ❤️ greatly appreciate the advice
Do you have to glue them. In. Or they snaps in will they stay in
no glue, they snap on to the other teeth.
I’m wondering what metal is used in a partial metal denture please.
I have a partial for 2 of my teeth and it is made out of a nylon resin material which resembles my natural gums. You can't tell they I have a partial. You don't have to get the one with metal.
Alloy of chrome and cobolt
