Taking Smiles From Ordinary To Extraordinary, One Implant At A Time.
Partial Dentures
in Fresno, California
Partial dentures are custom-crafted removable dental appliances designed to replace missing teeth and fill in gaps utilizing precision clasps to securely anchor them to your remaining teeth
​
At Whitlow Dental we custom integrate personal fit and facial contour considerations to create comfortable, non-restrictive partial dentures rivaling your natural smile. With proper care, partial dentures restore confidence and abilities for 10 or more years.
What is the process to get started?
The denture process begins with a consultation at Whitlow Dental Care. You'll undergo a comprehensive oral examination and 3D digital oral scanning to evaluate your individual needs. Key considerations for whether you should start wearing partial dentures include:
​
-
Number, location, and health of remaining natural teeth
-
Amount of bone loss and gum tissue recession
-
Lip, cheek, and tongue structure and control
-
Jaw relationships between upper and lower arches
-
Facial aesthetics including smile design and tooth and gum shade and contours
Dr. Whitlow will discuss ideal denture design features and set realistic expectations based on your anatomy and oral conditions.
