RPD (Removable Partial Denture)

A Removable Partial Denture (RPD) is a dental appliance designed to replace missing teeth in a person's mouth. It consists of artificial teeth attached to a gum-colored base, which is supported by the remaining natural teeth and tissues. RPDs help restore chewing ability, improve speech, and maintain the alignment of remaining teeth. They are removable for easy cleaning and can be customized for comfort and function. RPDs are a practical, cost-effective option for restoring dental health when some natural teeth remain, enhancing both oral function and appearance.
