Removable partial dentures usually consist of replacement teeth attached to pink or gum-colored plastic bases.
Depending on your needs, your dental team member will design a removable for you. A removable may have a metal framework and clasps that connect to your teeth, or they can have other connectors that are more natural looking. In some cases, a removable is made to attach to your natural teeth with devices called precision attachments. Precision attachments are generally more esthetic than clasps.
A partial can take 4-6 appointments and a denture can take up to 6 appointments, which requires 2-3 weeks between each appointment for lab work to be completed. These appointments will range from 30 minutes to 60 minutes each.
