<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>Generally, removable partial dentures consist of natural-looking tooth replacements connected to a flesh-colored base shaped to fit the patient's gums. Before making the dentures, the dentist uses an elastic material such as alginate to take an impression of the mouth. The material then solidifies, providing an outline of the gums to create the base.</p>
<p>In contrast to fixed solutions, such as bridges or implants, removable dentures can be taken out overnight and for cleaning after meals. As a result, many find them easier to clean thoroughly. However, as the shape of the gums and jawbone often changes gradually after extraction, it is normal to need occasional adjustments for a proper fit.</p>

<a name="what-is-the-process"></a>
<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Process of Getting Partial Dentures</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>The process of getting removable partial dentures for back teeth involves a few simple steps. We begin by taking an impression of the teeth and gums in order to curate the dentures to fit and match the surrounding area. Patients with any extractions may need to wait out the healing period before taking an impression. The impression is then sent to a lab that creates the custom-made dentures before the patient’s next visit.</p>
<p>Since dentures replace missing teeth, there is still a chance that the mouth changes through tooth movement. This can cause other teeth to shift, become loose, or feel uncomfortable. We can make any adjustments to the dentures as needed to ensure the dentures are fitting well and the surrounding teeth, gums, and bone are intact.</p>

<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>According to <a title="Read more about Dentures Facts & Figures" href="https://www.gotoapro.org/facts-figures/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Partial-Dentures-for-Back-Teeth">statistics cited by the American College of Prosthodontists</a>, as many as 120 million Americans are missing at least one tooth. Removable partial dentures are the solution of choice for many of them. For those who are missing back teeth, dentures can provide the following benefits:
<ul class="bullet-list">
<li><b>Promotion of oral health.</b> Dentures prevent adjacent teeth from moving out of place, as they tend to do when there are missing teeth. By keeping the configuration of the teeth close to normal, dentures reduce the risk of severe bone and gum problems developing later. Furthermore, when the remaining natural teeth maintain their position, there is a lessened chance of bone loss and cavities.</li>
<li><b>Comfort chewing and speaking.</b> After a short adjustment period, most patients can talk and chew normally with denture arches for back teeth. Molars perform the critical function of grinding down food for proper digestion and nutrition absorption. Dentures offer an effective solution for performing this function after the loss of one or more molars.</li>
<li><b>Enhanced appearance.</b> Although back teeth are not readily visible, their absence can affect appearance. Missing molars can result in a shrunken facial shape and atrophy of some facial muscles. Partial dentures prevent this from happening by maintaining the normal shape of the face.</li>
</ul>

<h2 itemprop="alternativeHeadline" class="text-contrast">Other Options for Replacing Back Teeth</h2>
<div class="divider divider-solid"></div>
<p>In addition to partial dentures for back teeth, patients may consider other solutions for missing molars. Each has its advantages and disadvantages. The right choice for any individual patient depends on specific factors such as medical history, oral health, personal preferences, budget, and more. The dentists at University Dental Associates help each patient can find the most effective option for you.</p>
<p>Implants are a popular teeth-replacement method. They have the advantage of being permanent, barring later complications. Implants also look and feel natural. However, their relatively high cost can make them impracticable for some. Implants also involve minor surgery and can necessitate bone grafts. Some health conditions can inhibit proper healing. For instance, <a title="Read more about Dental implants and diabetes mellitus—a systematic review" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5005734/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Partial-Dentures-for-Back-Teeth">an article reviewing study data in the International Journal of Implant Dentistry</a> found that poorly controlled diabetes increases the risks of complications and implant failure.</p>
<p>Permanent bridges are another option for replacing the back teeth. This solution is possible if there are natural teeth or implants on both sides of the missing tooth. While there exists a cantilever bridge that attaches to one tooth, dentists prefer not to use it to replace the back teeth, as they take more pressure than a bridge should support.</p>

<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Partial dentures can last between five and 15 years. You can prolong their lifetime by practicing good oral hygiene and following your dentist's care instructions for your teeth replacements. The Mayo Clinic <a title="Read more about Denture care: How do I clean dentures?" href="https://www.mayoclinic.org/denture-care/expert-answers/faq-20058375" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" style="text-decoration: underline;" class="TLBC" id="ALR-Partial-Dentures-for-Back-Teeth">recommends avoiding hot water and harsh cleansers</a>, which can damage the dentures or cause them to degrade quicker.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Will I need crowns on my surrounding teeth to support denture arches for back teeth?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Most often, crowns are not necessary for a partial denture. However, if your dentist recommends a precision attachment rather than the usual metal clasp, you will need crowns if they are not already in place. The right option for each patient depends on a variety of factors, such as general dental health.</span></p>

<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Can I get removable partial dentures for back teeth if I have several missing molars?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">Partial dentures can replace several teeth. If you have more than one missing tooth on one arch, the replacements can be fitted onto one denture, whether the missing teeth are contiguous or not.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">Are there any foods to avoid after getting denture arches for back teeth?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">It can be easier to get used to eating with a partial denture if you start by cutting your food into small pieces. Stay away from sticky or hard foods to avoid damaging the dentures or putting too much pressure on them. When chewing, try to distribute the pressure evenly on both sides of the mouth.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What should I do if my removable partial dentures for back teeth become cracked or chipped?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">A damaged denture can irritate your mouth and lead to a poor fit. Cracks and other surface damage can also encourage bacterial growth. It is essential to see a dentist as soon as possible to repair or replace a damaged partial denture.</span></p>
</span>
<span  itemscope itemprop="mainEntity" itemtype="https://schema.org/Question">
<p class="questions text-contrast"><span>Q.</span> <span itemprop="name">What should I do if my denture arches for back teeth stopped fitting comfortably?</span></p>
<p class="answers" itemscope itemprop="acceptedAnswer" itemtype="https://schema.org/Answer">
<span>A.</span> <span itemprop="text">It is common to undergo some bone loss and gum changes after losing teeth. As a result, you may experience changes in the way your dentures fit. The dentist can adjust the denture for optimal fit and functionality.</span></p>
