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 temporary tooth 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?

    Removable partial dentures replace one or more missing teeth while allowing you to retain your remaining natural teeth. Replacement teeth are attached to a base that may include an acrylic or metal framework. Our denturist assesses your mouth, bite and supporting teeth to recommend a suitable design.

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

    A partial plate is another name for a partial denture. It fills gaps left by missing teeth and uses the gums, remaining teeth or a combination of both for support. A partial denture with clasps uses these components to help hold the appliance in place. Its design depends on your tooth positions, oral health and bite.

  • What is a dental flipper?

    A dental flipper is a lightweight removable appliance used for temporary tooth replacement. A flipper tooth after extraction may help maintain your appearance while tissues heal or you prepare for longer-term treatment. It is not suitable for every situation, and our denturist will explain its limitations and care requirements.

  • Will partial dentures affect chewing or speech?

    Custom partial dentures may feel unfamiliar at first, and eating or speaking can take some practice. Start with softer foods, take small bites and practise speaking aloud as you adjust. Attend recommended follow-up visits and contact the clinic if you experience persistent soreness, movement or difficulty using your denture.

  • What if my partial denture feels loose?

    If your denture slips, rubs or feels less secure, book an assessment rather than trying to alter it yourself. A partial denture adjustment, reline or repair may help, depending on the cause. Our denturist will examine the appliance and supporting teeth to determine whether treatment or replacement partial dentures would be appropriate.

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

    Choosing between partial dentures and dental implants depends on your remaining teeth, gum and bone health, budget and treatment preferences. Partial dentures are removable, while implant treatment involves surgical placement by a qualified provider. Our denturist can explain your removable options and coordinate with a dentist for an implant assessment.
