Partial dentures are removable dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth when you still have some natural teeth remaining. Unlike full dentures, partial dentures work alongside your existing teeth. A typical partial denture consists of replacement teeth attached to a gum-colored base, with metal or plastic clasps connecting to natural teeth to hold it securely in place.
Our office on El Camino Real has served patients in Redwood City, San Carlos, Menlo Park, and the surrounding Bay Area communities.
Most partial dentures last 5 to 15 years with proper care.
We offer several types of partial dentures to fit your comfort, budget, and smile goals.
A metal framework offers strength and durability with a thin, comfortable design.
Made from a softer, pliable material that's lightweight and flexible.
A more affordable option, though it may feel slightly bulkier than other types.
Replace missing teeth so you can chew comfortably again.
Support your facial structure and help you speak more clearly.
Keep your remaining natural teeth from drifting into empty spaces.
Not sure which type of partial denture is right for you? Our team will help you choose based on your comfort, budget, and smile goals.
Partial dentures restore your ability to chew comfortably, support your facial structure to prevent a sunken appearance from missing teeth, and help you speak more clearly. They also keep your remaining natural teeth from drifting into empty spaces. Compared to implants or bridges, partial dentures cost less, and their removable design makes cleaning simple.
From your first exam to your final fitting, here's what to expect when getting a partial denture.
We start with a comprehensive examination and discuss your goals for replacing missing teeth.
We take detailed impressions to create a custom model of your mouth.
Follow-up visits let us check the fit and make any necessary adjustments.
Once your partial denture fits comfortably, we provide personalized care instructions.
Most patients adjust within a few weeks. Remove it for sleep and clean it daily.
We accept most major dental insurance plans, and partial dentures typically cost less than implants or bridges. We also offer flexible payment options so cost isn’t a barrier to restoring your smile. Your visit includes a clear breakdown of what your plan covers before any treatment begins.
If you’re missing just one tooth, dental implants offer a long-term, durable solution but are more invasive and may take several months to complete. Bridges use crowns on the teeth next to the gap and require reducing healthy tooth structure, with no ability to floss between the crown unit. For patients without enough remaining natural teeth, combination solutions like implant-supported bridges or dentures may be recommended. Our team will help you weigh the pros and cons of each option — including cost, comfort, and how quickly you want results.
Removable & Affordable — A cost-effective way to replace one or more missing teeth without surgery.
Lower Cost — Partial dentures cost less than implants or bridges while still restoring your smile.
Pros & Cons — Lower upfront cost, easier adjustment, and less fabrication time, though partial dentures may require periodic adjustment and are less durable than an implant or bridge.

The questions Redwood City patients ask most about partial dentures — answered plainly.
Will I need crowns on surrounding teeth? Usually not necessary unless a precision attachment, rather than the usual metal clasp, is recommended for your case.
Can I get partial dentures for several missing molars? Yes, replacements for more than one missing tooth on an arch can be fitted onto a single partial denture.
Are there foods to avoid with a partial denture? Cut food into small pieces at first, avoid sticky or hard foods, and distribute chewing pressure evenly on both sides of your mouth.
What if my partial denture becomes cracked or chipped? See a dentist as soon as possible — damage can irritate your mouth, cause a poor fit, and encourage bacterial growth.
What if my partial denture stops fitting comfortably? Bone loss and gum changes after tooth loss are common. Our team can adjust your partial denture for an optimal, comfortable fit.
