Partials are mainly used to restore missing teeth in the posterior of the mouth in situations where bridges are impractical or impossible. Partials are made with a metal base (either gold or vitallium) which rests on the existing teeth in the mouth. Denture teeth are then added to the partial to replace missing teeth in the mouth. 3-4 appointments are necessary to complete this procedure.

• Bridges

Bridges are recommended in situations of missing teeth where there are teeth on either side of the missing tooth. These can replace 1-6 missing teeth and are constructed of gold or porcelain. A bridge can usually be completed in two office visits.
