Types of Partial Dentures Offered

For partial dentures, we provide four options based on your personal situation.
If you are missing all upper or lower teeth, learn about our complete dentures options. 

Cast Metal Partial Dentures

Cast metal partial dentures consist of a metal framework combined with tissue colored acrylic and denture teeth. This is a very durable and strong option to replace missing teeth.

Flexible Partial Dentures

Flexible partial dentures are made from thin, flexible thermoplastic material that fit between your natural teeth. Flexible dentures are softer and can be more comfortable than metal partial dentures.

Resin Based Partial Dentures

Interim resin based partial dentures are made of acrylic and are typically used as a transitional appliance while we are waiting for a more permanent solution.

Implant Retained Partial Dentures

Implant retained partial dentures are removable dentures that are attached to implants to provide a more secure fit than conventional partial dentures.

Our Partial Dentures Process

Once the right partial denture method is chosen for you, our Nashville dentists and dental laboratory will model our dentures from an impression of your teeth through a series of appointments and create quality dentures that look like a natural smile. We will walk you through how to put in your dentures, take them out and care for them to maintain their quality and shape.

Caring for Dentures

It is important to clean your dentures regularly to maintain their quality. Brush your dentures at least once a day or after each meal.

You can also soak your dentures in a solution of water and dental cleanser. Soaking your dentures every night will keep the dentures moist to maintain their shape.

Always rinse your dentures thoroughly before putting them in your mouth.

What Our Patients Say

"I really can't say enough about my experience with Dr Hecklin and his team. I had gotten veneers done by Dr. Hecklin and my experience and end result was above and beyond what i ever expected. The treatment and advice from the very beginning was super helpful, professional and honest. They did not try to upsell me and make me get more than I needed, he even said to get less than I originally planned because there was no need. Dr. Hecklin and his entire team really cared about me and what I wanted to achieve and to make it cost efficient for ME!"

Myranda Marie Achvan

"I've known Dr. Hecklin for many years....and I must say...he is among the very TOP of those dentists that is knowledgeable, conservative, passionate, patient, laid back, and a pleasure to have as my dentist! The office is inviting, relaxing and FUN!...yes, FUN! The staff is equally as knowledgeable, passionate, welcoming, laid back! It's so calming and refreshing to know I am well-taken care of and that I matter in this fast pace of "next" in the service industry. Thank you Dr. Hecklin for taking such GREAT care of me and my mouth!"

Lesa Byrum

"My wife and I have been patients or Dr. Hecklin's for nearly 20 years and both consider him to be at the very top of his profession. No one is eager to go to the dentist... but Steve goes out of his way to be welcoming and make our experience as comfortable as possible. He is always concerned about, and goes out of his way to minimize, any discomfort we experience. We have great confidence in him both as a caretaker of our dental health and as a creative problem solver whenever dental issues arise."

Avi Poster

"I have been a very satisfied patient of Dr. Hecklin for twenty eight years. The quality of dental services is first rate and the staff are very professional and care about the patient’s satisfaction. The longevity of many of the staff is also a strong indicator of a high quality clinical practice, staff, and leadership. Also, Dr. Hecklin has responded promptly and effectively to a few emergency dental situations I have had over the past twenty eight years, whether I have been in or out of town. I would recommend Dr. Hecklin and his dental practice without any reservation."

George Bone

"I have been seeing Dr Hecklin since we moved to TN 18 years ago. You will not find a better dentist (and person) anywhere. I was a dental phobic person, but he was understanding and always took time with me, now I look forward to seeing him, and all the wonderful ladies who work there!"
