Looking for a simple, removable option to replace missing teeth? At Oak Mountain, we are your local Shelby county experts in partial dentures. Whether you’re missing one tooth or several, this treatment may be just what you need to help you chew, speak, and smile with confidence.
Also known as a “partial”, “RPD”, or “flipper”, these devices are removable dental appliances designed to replace one or more missing teeth all at once. They work by anchoring to your existing healthy teeth using small clasps, creating a secure fit while being removable for cleaning.
While this treatment is not as permanent or sturdy as dental implants, they are a great option for patients seeking a more affordable way to fill the gaps in their smile.

They’re often recommended for patients who may not be ready for dental implants or who are looking for a lower-cost alternative to permanent restorations.
If you don’t have enough healthy teeth to support a partial denture, or if you need to replace a full arch of teeth (top, bottom, or both jaws), we offer several alternatives, including:
Our team will walk you through these options to find the solution that fits your smile, health, and lifestyle best.
If this describes you, then Dental Implants may be your best option.
Unlike partials, which come in and out, or tooth bridges, which can destroy healthy tooth structure, implants are just metal roots that we use to support new teeth that function and feel like the real thing.
These titanium roots can support a single tooth or even many teeth in a row when multiple are used together as an implant bridge. This makes them a highly versatile option for many tooth replacement needs.
We’re happy to help you figure out whether partials are right for you. Reach out today to schedule your free consultation!
