Partial dentures are usually removable dentures that replace multiple teeth in the upper or lower portion of your mouth. Partial dentures are more than cosmetic devices. They can also enhance chewing and speaking for the wearer. Partial dentures can also preserve the placement of the remaining teeth in your mouth, which may otherwise shift over time. Partial dentures aren’t usually intended for around-the-clock wear. Most dentists will recommend removing partial dentures at night and cleaning them. The fixed partial denture (FPD) is a dental restoration used to replace missing teeth and that is permanently attached to adjacent teeth or dental implants
