Partial Dentures
WELCOME TO KARLA R MCDONALD DDS
When you are missing one tooth or two or more consecutive teeth on your top or bottom arch, partial dentures in Wisconsin Rapids, WI, help to restore your oral health. Although you may feel self-conscious about your smile and want to fill the gap as soon as possible, replacing missing teeth is more than a cosmetic concern. Partial dentures return your chewing force, preventing your remaining teeth from shifting and causing an alignment problem.
More About Partial Dentures
People need partial dentures for various reasons, including dental disease and losing teeth in an accident. Partial dentures are removable. You should remove them from your mouth each night and place them in a cup of water with a denture cleansing tablet.
Dr. Karla McDonald determines the right type of partial denture for you depending on several individual factors. These include:
- Location of the missing teeth in your mouth
- Materials available to create your partial dentures
- Number of replacement teeth on the denture retainer
- Whether you currently have other restorations
If you think you may be interested in partial dentures as a tooth replacement option, the first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. McDonald.
The Process of Receiving Partial Dentures
Dr. McDonald takes X-rays and impressions of your teeth and gums to help with treatment planning. Our laboratory technicians create customized partial dentures over a period of one to two weeks.
When the laboratory completes your partial dentures, we will call you back to Dr. McDonald’s dental practice to fit you with the new partial dentures. She will make any necessary adjustments at that time if you feel the dentures place too much pressure on any point in your mouth.
Having partial dentures in Wisconsin Rapids, WI can change your oral health and your smile. Please request a consultation today.
