Partial Denture Types and Materials

A patient’s specific needs and anatomy dictate the design of the partial denture and every effort is made to construct a self-cleansing partial denture that preserves the remaining teeth and oral tissues.

Drs. John P. Pruitt, David E. Miller, Robert P. Stowe, Jason M. Steinbicker, or L. Beth Link Taylor will design your partial denture so that the chewing forces are evenly distributed over the entire surface are of the remaining teeth and soft tissues.

Metal partials are generally preferred as they are structurally superior. They are thinner and more hygienic than an acrylic partial.
