Partial Dentures at OPAL DENTAL GROUP
Missing several teeth can change everything from how you chew your favorite foods to how confident you feel smiling in photos. Partial dentures offer a comfortable, affordable way to replace missing teeth while keeping the natural teeth you still have. At OPAL DENTAL GROUP, Dr. Azadeh Abraham creates custom partial dentures that fit securely, look natural, and let you eat, speak, and smile with ease.
What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth when some healthy natural teeth still remain. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum colored base, supported by a discreet metal or flexible framework that secures onto your existing teeth. Modern partial dentures are lightweight, comfortable, and designed to blend in so naturally that most people will not notice you are wearing them.
Who Is a Candidate for Partial Dentures?
You may be a good candidate for partial dentures if you:
- Have lost one or more teeth but still have healthy natural teeth remaining
- Want to prevent your existing teeth from shifting into the empty spaces
- Are looking for a more affordable alternative to implants or bridges
- Need a solution that is removable and easy to clean
- Want to restore your smile, chewing ability, and speech without surgery
The Treatment Process
Getting partial dentures at our Paramount office is a straightforward, personalized journey:
- Consultation and examination. Dr. Abraham evaluates your remaining teeth, gums, and bite, then discusses the best partial denture type for your needs, whether metal framework, acrylic, or flexible.
- Impressions and design. Precise impressions of your mouth are taken to design a partial denture that fits comfortably and blends naturally with your existing teeth.
- Try in appointment. A trial fitting confirms the comfort, color, and appearance before your final denture is finished.
- Final fitting. Your completed partial denture is placed, adjusted, and tested to ensure a secure, comfortable fit.
- Follow up care. We guide you through wearing, cleaning, and maintaining your new partial denture, with follow up appointments to fine tune the fit as needed.

Caring for Your Partial Dentures
With consistent care, partial dentures can serve you well for many years. We recommend brushing them daily with a soft denture brush and a non abrasive cleanser, soaking them overnight in a denture solution, and continuing to care for your remaining natural teeth with regular brushing and flossing. Routine visits to our office help us check the fit and protect your overall oral health.
