Partial Dentures

Replace Missing Teeth While Preserving the Healthy Ones

A Balanced, Affordable Solution to Complete Your Smile

If you’re missing several teeth but still have some healthy ones remaining, partial dentures may be the ideal solution. At Vivid Dental of Raleigh, we craft custom partials that restore both the function and beauty of your smile — without requiring extractions or full-arch prosthetics.
Our partial dentures are designed for comfort, stability, and natural appearance. Whether you’re missing teeth on one side, multiple areas, or throughout the arch, we can create a precise solution that helps you eat, speak, and smile confidently again.

When Are Partial Dentures the Right Choice?

We may recommend partial dentures if you:

Are missing several, but not all, teeth in an arch

Want to preserve your remaining natural teeth

Are not a candidate for implants or fixed bridges

Want a removable and affordable solution

Need a temporary or transitional replacement

Partial dentures are also a great option while preparing for future implants or more extensive treatment.
What Are Partial Dentures?
Partial dentures are removable appliances made to replace one or more missing teeth while anchoring around your remaining natural teeth. They’re a versatile, cost-effective solution that prevents:

Teeth from shifting into empty spaces

image

Bite misalignment

image

Overuse or wear on remaining teeth

image

Bone loss due to lack of stimulation

They can be made from:

image

Acrylic base with metal framework – for strength and durability

image

Flexible material – for comfort and aesthetics (especially in visible areas)

image

Tooth- or gum-colored clasps – for a discreet, natural look

What Are Partial Dentures

Our Process

What to Expect

Consultation and Evaluation

We assess your oral health, review any existing dental work, and determine which type of partial is best for you.

Impressions and Design

We take accurate molds of your teeth and gums, then custom-design a partial that fits securely and comfortably.

Try-In and Adjustments

Before final delivery, you’ll try a model to check fit, bite, and aesthetics. We make necessary adjustments for function and comfort.

Final Fitting and Care Instructions

Once your partial is complete, we walk you through insertion, removal, and cleaning — and schedule follow-ups to ensure long-term success.
