Equipoise partial
dentures Our office uses the Equipoise removable partial denture system. The word Equipoise means equal balance. The design of Equipoise partials allows the pressure on the partial during function to be directed along the long axis of the supporting teeth. This helps to protect and preserve the teeth that hold the partial in. Along with this tremendous advantage, these partial dentures do not show metal hooks and clasps and are therefore extremely aesthetic. While it is preferable to replace missing teeth with implants and bridges, this is not always possible or realistic for some patients. In these cases, an Equipoise removable partial denture is a great alternative and is superior to conventional partials.
