Partial Dentures
Do you have a Partial Denture, or are you planning to get a new Partial Denture...?
...then, the eBook "Partial Dentures" below has been written for you.
My intention in writing this book is to guide you through the many choices which stand before you when requiring a removable partial denture.
Although in many cases it is the domain of your dental practitioner to make the right choice; you should still understand what it is that you are purchasing, including all the good and the bad associated with each type of removable partial dental appliance.
There are many factors to consider when choosing a partial denture. Factors such as cost, longevity, natural looks, mechanical stability, ongoing tooth additions and so on. All of these, and much more, are explained in easy-to-understand detail as we go through the chapters.
When a Dental Practitioner gives you a quick 15-minute appointment to explain your different options, you may feel overwhelmed by the whole ordeal. In this book, I will show you many photographs of several types of partial denture. Some made from acrylic (plastic) and others made from either a Chrome Cobalt alloy or titanium (metal). I also give you the advantages and disadvantages of each material. By looking at these photographs, and having a general idea of each, you will have a better understanding of what your practitioner is talking about. You will then be in a better position to make the correct decision for yourself, rather than just been told what to purchase.
Here are just 2 of the many examples in this book.
Fig's. 1-2 are both upper partial dentures.
So, which one is better?
Well, as I explain in the Partial Dentures eBook below, it depends on how long you will require this appliance. If your Dental Practitioner explains that you will most likely need a full denture within 1 - 2 years, you are better off taking the cheaper plastic partial. Not only will the full plastic palate start to train your mouth in readiness for the full denture, but you will also save some money throughout the whole process.
If, however, your remaining teeth are estimated to last well beyond 2-3 years, you may want to choose the more comfortable (but more expensive) metal partial denture.
Of course, the information in the eBook goes way beyond what I have just said. There are many more examples, tip, tricks, do's and don'ts, and questions you should be asking your Dental Practitioner - which rarely get asked.
If you have already received your partial denture, there are many examples and "how to" explanations to give you a better partial denture wearing experience. Things you can do and things you must never do, (unless you have deep pockets with plenty of money!)
