A precision attachment partial denture is an advanced dental solution we offer at Jamestowne South Dental for replacing missing teeth. This type of denture provides enhanced stability, comfort, and aesthetics compared to traditional partial dentures. It utilizes precision-engineered components to attach securely to the remaining natural teeth or dental implants.

Key Features and Benefits

Precision attachment partial dentures provide superior retention and stability, as the mechanical components fit together precisely, minimizing movement during activities such as chewing and speaking. Since the attachments are often hidden within the denture or on the back side of the supporting teeth, they offer a more natural appearance without visible clasps. The secure fit of precision attachments enhances overall comfort for the wearer. These dentures are custom-made to fit the unique contours of your mouth, providing a personalized solution. The precise engineering results in a longer-lasting prosthetic compared to traditional methods.

Components

The male part (patrix) is attached to the existing natural teeth or dental implants, while the female part (matrix) is incorporated into the partial denture. Various types of precision attachments can be used, including ball attachments, bar attachments, and magnetic attachments.

Procedure

The procedure begins with an assessment and planning stage where we evaluate your oral health, remaining teeth, and bone structure to determine if precision attachment partial dentures are suitable. Detailed impressions of your mouth are taken to create precise models for designing the denture. The appropriate attachments are chosen and positioned on the remaining teeth or implants. The partial denture is custom-made in a dental laboratory, incorporating the female parts of the attachments. Finally, the denture is fitted and adjusted to ensure proper alignment, comfort, and function.
