Precision attachments

 In some cases, a removable partial denture is made to attach to your natural teeth with devices called precision attachments. They consist of two parts referred as the ‘male’ part that is fixed to a crown inside the patient’s mouth and a ‘female’ part which holds the partial denture. The patient can insert and remove the partial dentures and the aim of the precision attachment is to give the patient maximum comfort and ease while wearing, inserting or removing.
Crowns on your natural teeth are sometimes needed to improve the fit of a removable partial denture and they are usually required with attachments.
Partial dentures with precision attachments generally cost more than those with clasps, however they give the denture a very firm and stable position with a more pleasant look as no clasps are visible.
