What are Partial Dentures?

When you’re missing several teeth but not an entire arch, partial dentures offer a reliable and affordable way to restore your smile. At Mid Wilshire Dentistry, Dr. Homan Hanasab provides expertly crafted partial dentures that improve both appearance and function while protecting your oral health.

A partial denture is a removable dental appliance designed to address gaps where teeth are missing. It typically consists of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored acrylic base. Some partial dentures are secured with metal clasps that anchor to your natural teeth, while others may use precision attachments for a more seamless appearance.

Partial Dentures Go Beyond Just Aesthetics

Missing teeth can cause neighboring teeth to shift, altering your bite and leading to jaw pain or misalignment. They can also make it difficult to chew or speak clearly. With a custom-fit partial denture, you regain the ability to eat comfortably, speak with confidence, and maintain the shape and structure of your face.

Advanced Technology

Our Los Angeles dentist and team uses advanced imaging technologies, including specialized CT scanning, to evaluate your oral health and recommend the best solution for your needs. Whether you’re missing teeth due to gum disease, injury, or decay, he designs your partial dentures with precision, ensuring comfort and natural-looking results.

A Board-Certified Periodontist

As a board-certified periodontist and the official team dentist of the LA Clippers, our team brings elite-level care to every patient. We understand the importance of long-term oral health and take a comprehensive approach to treating tooth loss—sometimes combining partial dentures with laser therapy or periodontal treatments to ensure a healthy foundation.

If you’re ready to restore your smile with comfort and function, schedule a consultation at Mid Wilshire Dentistry in Los Angeles. Partial dentures may be the affordable and practical solution you’ve been looking for.
