Avoiding Conventional Partial Dentures and False Teeth
Precision and semi-precision partial dentures, like conventional partial dentures, replace missing natural teeth with artificial teeth. However, the means by which they are retained in the mouth is different than a conventional clasp prosthesis.
To better understand these partial dentures types, it is best to first review the basics of conventional partial denture clasps.
How Conventional Partial Denture Clasps Function
Most partial dentures are usually kept in place by clasps. These are thin finger-like projections of special resilient metal alloy, or, in certain cases, plastic or plastic-like materials.
- Clasps rest on and around certain remaining natural teeth so that their ends extend into narrow areas below a gentler bulge on the tooth. Sometimes it is necessary to shape a tooth or make a crown for a tooth or teeth in order to develop the right amount and relationship of undercut and bulge for retention.
- When a partial denture is placed in the mouth, clasps gently spring over a tooth bulge and rest in a relaxed state within an undercut.
- A partial dentures are held in place during normal eating, speaking and other activities because clasps resist springing back over tooth bulges.
- Clasp resistance to removal is not great enough to prevent a person from comfortably removing their partial denture whenever they choose.
The Problem With Conventional Denture Clasps
Despite numerous successful conventional clasp designs, they do have some drawbacks.
- Clasps may at times become visible. Often, this is unavoidable and usually is not objectionable. However, for some individuals, the show of clasps is simply not acceptable because of personal circumstances and compromised appearance.
- Certain partial false teeth may function better with retentive means other than conventional clasps.
- Remaining natural tooth structures may be inadequate to accommodat conventional clasps. Therefore, dental crown or crowns may need to be fabricated to correct these deficiencies.
Semi-Precision and Precision Partial Dentures -- Viable Alternatives
Alternatives to conventional clasp partial dentures fall into two categories, both of which have no clasps to show.
- Semi-precision partial dentures are retained in the mouth by means of mechanical interlocking components. A specially-shaped extension of the partial denture fits into or onto a complementary receiving area or projection of a natural tooth that has been crowned.
The components fit snugly and consist of a semi-rigid metal-to-other-surface interface, which may also be metal or some other resilient material such as nylon. - Precision partial dentures are similar to the semi-precision type except that the mechanical interlocking components are manufactured to extremely high tolerances and are held together by precise alignment and a rigid metal-to-metal frictional interface of components.
Advantages of Semi-Precision and Precision Partial Dentures
- A cosmetically-enhanced partial denture as compared to conventional partial dentures
- No show of metal clasps
- Blends in with the conformity of remaining natural teeth
- Functions with a more even pressure on remaining natural teeth than conventional partial dentures
Disadvantages of Semi-Precision and Precision Partial Dentures
- Semi-precision partial dentures are the most costly to fabricate
- Usually some natural teeth need to be crowned
- More difficult to fabricate and adjust
- Some components may need periodic replacement
Which Type of Partial Denture Is Best?
Every patient has unique oral health needs that are best determined by a licensed dentist after a thorough examination.

Out With The Old Dentures - In With The New!
You may be surprised to learn that false teeth aren't expected to last more than 5 to 10 years and still give a natural look. So even if your dentures are in perfect condition, maybe it's time for a change even if there's nothing wrong with the materials or the original denture fitting.
It's a fact of life the tissue in your mouth shrinks as you age. The ridges that support your prosthodontics recede, slowly but surely. New wrinkles and laugh lines appear, and your chin moves toward your nose. You may feel fine but look tired all the time.
Take a good look in the mirror. If you don't like what you see, it may be time to have denture repair or to replace your false teeth. With new dentures, your face will look fuller and younger, and you'll get your youthful smile back, too!
