Partial Dentures at Shen Dental in Vancouver

Partial dentures are a simple, cost-effective solution for replacing missing teeth. They are ideal when the remaining teeth cannot support a bridge or are distributed in a way that makes other options unsuitable. These dentures can be made of metal for long-term use or plastic for temporary needs. A special type, known as a "flipper," can quickly replace front teeth lost due to accidents, restoring your confidence in as little as 1-2 days.
