  • Are partial dentures safe?

    Safe? Yes, they will not poison you... However, depending on how many teeth are missing and where, partials have many disadvantages, even if properly done by a prosthodontist. From being a removable appliance, the need to prepare teeth and make space for clasps and connectors, applying extra forces on the abutment teeth, and more. Today, dental implants are the standard of care for replacement of natural teeth. *Avi Donitza DMD* *Prosthodontics & Implant Dentistry* *Maxillofacial Prosthodontics* *152 S.
