Upper Partials

Upper partial dentures replace some or several of the teeth in the upper arch. They consist of the prosthetic teeth and a base that is connected by a metal framework or attachments that hold the partial in place. Partials may be appropriate for those who want an effective restoration after losing one or several teeth in the upper jaw but who still have some healthy remaining teeth left. Our Canoga Park upper partials expert can help you learn if you are a candidate for a partial denture.

Partial dentures offer several advantages to their users. They can help maintain proper spacing and restore the look and function of your smile. You may benefit from an upper partial if you are missing one or several teeth in your upper arch. Our expert in upper partials in Canoga Park may recommend several dental appointments to create your new smile. At the first, treatment will be planned, and at later appointments, your new upper partial denture will be fit and adjusted for your smile.
