Precision Partial Dentures in Charlotte, NC

Patients who need partial dentures now have a much better way to replace those lost teeth than was available with older systems. Previously, each partial denture was secured with a hook that surrounded adjacent teeth. These hooks were visible when the person smiled. While many patients felt these silver metal hooks were unattractive, they had no other choice.

Innovation at Inspired Dentistry of Charlotte

They do now. Our precision particle dentures have an innovative connecting system that enables Dr. Selden to attach a partial denture to adjacent teeth. A natural tooth, bridge or implant can be used as an anchor. 

Here is how it works: The partial has a female receptor and the adjacent tooth has a matching male piece that fits into it. This system works like a lock and key. During normal chewing or biting, the partial denture stays secure.
