Removable Partial Denture

Removable partial dentures (RPDs) are dental prostheses used to replace one or more missing teeth. Unlike dental bridges, which are fixed in place, RPDs can be easily taken out and reinserted by the wearer. They consist of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, often made of acrylic or metal. RPDs are custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit. 

They are held in place by clasps that attach to the natural teeth on either side of the gap. RPDs not only restore the appearance of a complete smile but also improve chewing ability and speech.One of the main advantages of RPDs is their versatility. They can be used to replace multiple missing teeth in different areas of the mouth. RPDs also provide support to the remaining natural teeth, preventing them from shifting out of place

This helps maintain the alignment of the teeth and the overall structure of the mouth. Additionally, RPDs are typically more affordable than other tooth replacement options, making them a popular choice for many patients. Proper care and maintenance, including regular cleaning and dental check-ups, can help ensure that RPDs remain comfortable and effective for years to come..
