Dentures, partials and implants oh my!

Here are some partial dentures

There are a few different types of dentures. 

There is beauty and there is strength.  Choose for yourself.


Here are some photos comparing interim partial dentures with cast metal framework partials. 


If given the choice I would chose a fixed option rather than a removable option.  All of my patients seem to prefer bridges and implants instead of dentures.  In fact I have replaced many patients' partials for an upgrade to implants.  I have thought about saving the old useless dentures and displaying them as trophies each time one is replaced with a bridge or implant.  Then my team reminds me that most people would find that disgusting.
