Partial Dentures

 

Usually these are attached to a pink or gum colored base, connected to the base is a metal framework which holds the denture in place. It is removable and has the replacement teeth attached to the base. Partial dentures can be attached to one or more existing natural teeth. They can be permanent and will be cemented into the mouth so they do not move.
