When teeth are lost to periodontitis, for instance, it may become more and more difficult to speak clearly and chew properly, resulting in embarrassing situations and significant discomfort for the individual. A partial denture is a custom made removable appliance on which replacement teeth are strategically placed along a gum like base to take the place of the missing natural teeth. The partial denture is supported by metal clasps attached to the adjoining natural teeth; additional replacement teeth can be added to the base if it becomes necessary.
