How to Repair Dental Partials

Partial dentures replace a portion of teeth that are missing in your mouth. Your dentist or prosthodontist places and affixes them next to healthy teeth that provide the support needed for them to stay in place. When dental partials break or are damaged, this can be an emergency for the wearer. Teeth are a necessity. We need them to eat, but to also face the world with a smile. If access to dental care is not possible, there are steps you can take to temporarily fix your dental partial.
