We often think of dentures as something older people wear, but younger people may need partial dentures under certain circumstances. Younger people normally don’t require full dentures, but if they have damage to one or a few teeth, a partial denture may be recommended. Younger individuals who experience sports injuries or other traumas, oral health problems like gum disease or dental decay, or other health issues like acid reflux could benefit from partial dentures to help save remaining teeth from damage. Partial dentures can also play a crucial role in restoring jaw function and boosting confidence in younger individuals.
