Question From Our Member - What Is A Removable Bridge?

Questions From Our Members

J. Hugo of Queens, New York asks: 

“Can you please explain what a removable bridge is?  My dentist has suggested that I consider one.”

Savon’s Answer

As its name describes, a removable bridge (also called a partial denture) can be taken out of the mouth for cleaning.  Although removable bridges generally are less expensive, fixed bridges may feel more stable and comfortable.

Depending on your situation, however, a partial denture may be for you.  Working with your dentist, you should be able to determine which type (fixed or removable) is right for you.
