Tom<\/p>\n<p>Tom \u2013 Unfortunately, the metal framework of a partial denture cannot be fixed. The partial will need to be replaced.<\/p>\n<p>A traditional <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-partial-dentures.html\">partial denture<\/a> with the metal framework has an acrylic base, in which either acrylic or composite teeth are embedded. The plastic parts are easy to repair and re-attach to the framework. Repairing the framework would require welding, which would melt the acrylic base. The lab work required to re-position the teeth, clasps, and saddle of the framework would be just as costly as making a new partial denture.<\/p>\n<p>If your budget permits, <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/new-orleans-dental-implants.html\">dental implants<\/a> are the most effective and most natural-looking way to replace your missing teeth. They are a permanent solution, and you would be free of concerns about replacing a partial denture in the future.<\/p>\n<p>This blog post is sponsored by the office of <a href=\"https:\/\/delaunedental.com\/\">Metairie cosmetic dentist<\/a> Dr. Duane Delaune.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The metal bar on my partial denture broke.
