Dental Implants & Dentures Top Secrets to Saving Money on Your Dentures | Page 10

b) Partial Dentures
Partial dentures replace one or a few missing teeth. Unlike full dentures which are self-
supported, partial dentures have to be held in place by supporting accessories. Previously,
denturists used special metal clasps to hold the partial denture in place. The only downside of
these metal holders is that they tend to be too tight on the gums. For someone with sensitive
gums, this can be a big problem.
Fortunately, denturists in Toronto have tapped into new technology for manufacturing
comfortable denture holders. The new holders are in the form of a base that is non-invasive,
comfortable and protects the gums. Moreover, these new holders match the color of the
patient's gums promoting a more natural smile.
It can cost anywhere between $300 to $2000 to get partial dentures fixed. This is because of
the amount of work that goes into customizing the partial dentures then fitting them onto a
patient.
