Missing molars don’t just affect the way your smile looks—they can also make eating uncomfortable, interfere with your speech, and lead to shifting teeth. Fortunately, partial dentures offer an affordable and effective solution to restore both function and appearance.

At Densley Dental in Henderson, NV, Dr. Aman Sidhu, D.D.S., brings years of experience and advanced training to your care. A graduate of the University of Southern California with honors in dentistry, Dr. Sidhu also served as a managing dentist and an instructor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dentistry. We’re here to guide you through your options, provide expert solutions, and help you restore your confidence.

What Are Partial Dentures?

Partial dentures are a removable dental appliance designed to replace one or more missing teeth. They consist of a gum-colored base and natural-looking replacement teeth customized to fit seamlessly with your existing smile. Unlike full dentures, partials are ideal when you still have healthy teeth.

For those missing molars, partial dentures are particularly beneficial. Molars are crucial for chewing, and replacing them with partials can significantly improve your ability to enjoy meals while preventing your other teeth from shifting into the empty space.

Benefits of Partial Dentures for Missing Molars

Partial dentures offer numerous advantages, including:

  • Improved Functionality: With partial dentures, you can chew food more efficiently, aiding digestion and improving overall health.
  • Enhanced Appearance: Custom-made to match your smile, partial dentures restore your natural look and boost your confidence.
  • Affordable Solution: Compared to dental implants or bridges, partial dentures are often a more budget-friendly choice.
  • Preservation of Oral Health: Filling the gap left by missing molars helps prevent jawbone loss and protects adjacent teeth from wear and tear.

Addressing Common Concerns

Many people worry about the fit, comfort, or maintenance of partial dentures. At Densley Dental, we use advanced techniques to ensure a secure, comfortable fit. Proper care—like cleaning your dentures daily and storing them properly—can last for years.

If cost is a concern, partial dentures are a cost-effective alternative to other options. They provide excellent functionality without requiring invasive procedures like implants.
