Signs You May Need Partial Dentures

Missing teeth can affect more than your smile. Gaps can lead to shifting teeth, changes in bite alignment, and difficulty chewing or speaking comfortably. If you have one or more missing teeth, partial dentures can help restore function while supporting your remaining teeth.


Partial dentures are often recommended when you want a removable option that improves appearance and stability. During your consultation, we will evaluate your smile and discuss whether dental partials or another solution is best for you.

Flippers for Fast Tooth Replacement

If you need a quick cosmetic solution, a dental flipper may be the right short-term option. Many patients call this a flipper tooth or oral flipper. Flippers are lightweight removable partial dentures that replace one or more teeth while you wait for a longer-term restoration. Flippers are commonly used:



  • After an extraction
  • After sudden tooth loss
  • While planning future treatment


This option helps maintain appearance and spacing, especially when replacing front teeth.

Partial Dentures vs Dental Bridges

When replacing missing teeth, many patients compare partial dentures and dental bridges. Both options restore appearance and function, but they differ in how they fit, how they’re supported, and what’s involved in long-term care.

Partial Dentures

  • Removable And Easy To Take Out For Cleaning
  • Can Replace One, Two, Or Several Teeth
  • Made With Artificial Teeth On A Base
  • Secured With Clasps For Stability And Support
  • Often A More Affordable And Flexible Option
  • Can Be Adjusted Over Time As Your Mouth Changes

Dental Bridges

  • Fixed And Cemented In Place
  • Usually Replace One Or Two Adjacent Teeth
  • Supported By Nearby Teeth And Healthy Gums
  • Typically Made From Porcelain, Gold, Or Alloy
  • Often Costs More Than Removable Options
  • Not Removable For Daily Cleaning

Frequently Asked Questions

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

    A partial plate (also called a partial denture) is a removable appliance that replaces one or more missing teeth while using your remaining natural teeth for support. It typically has replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, and it may include clasps or precision attachments that help it stay in place. By filling the gaps, a partial plate helps improve chewing, supports clearer speech, and reduces shifting of nearby teeth. At Richmond Denture Clinic, we design partial plates for comfort, function, and a natural looking appearance.

  • What is a dental flipper?

    A dental flipper is a lightweight, temporary partial denture used to replace one or a few missing teeth, often while you are waiting for a more long-term option such as a partial denture, bridge, or implant. Flippers are designed to be easy to wear and remove, and they can help you maintain your smile and confidence during the healing period after an extraction. While they are convenient, they are not as durable or stable as custom partial dentures, so they are best used as a short-term solution.

  • Will partial dentures affect chewing or speech?

    It is normal to notice changes when you first start wearing partial dentures. Chewing may feel different at first, especially with firmer foods, and speech can take a little practice while your tongue adjusts. Most patients adapt within a few weeks with consistent wear. Starting with softer foods and cutting food into smaller pieces can help. Reading out loud is also a great way to speed up speech adjustment. If your partial is rubbing, clicking, or shifting, Richmond Denture Clinic can adjust the fit so you feel more comfortable and confident.

  • What if my partial denture feels loose?

    If your partial denture feels loose, it may be because your gums and bone have changed over time, the clasps need adjustment, or the denture base no longer fits as closely as it should. A loose partial can cause sore spots, reduce chewing efficiency, and increase movement while speaking. The best step is to book a visit so we can assess the fit and recommend an adjustment, reline, or repair. Avoid trying to bend clasps yourself, since that can damage the partial or affect your natural teeth.

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

    Implants may be a good option if you want a more secure feel, dislike the idea of a removable appliance, or need improved stability for chewing. Implant-supported options can reduce movement, help preserve bone, and often feel closer to natural teeth. That said, partial dentures are still a reliable choice for many patients, especially when budget, healing time, or medical factors are important. At Richmond Denture Clinic, we can review your oral health, goals, and lifestyle to help you compare both options and choose what fits you best.
