Replacing missing teeth does not always require implants. This case shows how a fixed bridge and a removable partial denture can work together to restore appearance and chewing function.
The front teeth are restored with a bridge incorporating small precision attachments. The removable denture connects to these attachments, holding it securely in place without visible metal clasps around the front teeth. A slim metal framework provides strength and support.
The photographs show the individual components, their fit on a dental model, and the completed restoration in the mouth. The bridge stays in place, while the denture can be removed for daily cleaning.
This approach may suit patients with suitable remaining teeth who want an alternative to implant treatment. Careful assessment of the supporting teeth, gum health, and bite is essential, along with regular maintenance.
At Dental World Cornwall, we can discuss whether a precision-attachment denture is suitable for your smile.
