Partial Dentures

We offer many cosmetic dental solutions to Phoenix Arizona.  Dental Partials are a common dental procedure that we offer at our Arizona holistic practice.  Our friendly Scottsdale office staff is ready to provide you with the finest of dental care.

I’m putting this here too because we offer cosmetic hidden attachments. These retaining devices are a great benefit to you. Not only is attachment hidden;  the attachment itself has great bio-mechanical advantages to the teeth they are attached to.  By having the nature of a “universal joint”, this attachment has the ability to move about in a multitude of simultaneous directions without placing undue stress on the tooth. The only major downside is the added fee to use. It is relatively easy to service in the office.

The secret is shown here in a blown-up view.

Another style of partial denture with a hidden attachment is shown here. It is known as the May’s Attachment.

What would you rather see; an unsightly clasp arm or a well blended appearing prosthesis that is very hard to spot? This particular attachment allows for great retention and a good deal of freedom to move when under function. Other types are used on a case by case basis

Additional types of special cosmetic partial dentures are the Dental D, Acetyl resin based partial, or the Valplast partial made of an injection molded plastic. Both are more of a conventional design but can be made either tooth colored (Dental D) or gum tissue colored (Dental D and Valplast).

To the left is a Valplast Partial denture. It is made of a special thermoplastic material that is very strong yet quite flexible. It is very kind to the teeth and lightweight too.

Do not hesitate to give us a call to assist with your smile.
