Some people say the lower partial is harder to get used to because the lower jaw moves. Food can get caught underneath. Some lost of taste with an upper partial and the teeth that hold the partial can get recession and cavities if not taken care of. Also, Partials need to be removed at night.
There are no negative effects that can come partial dentures as long as they are made well, fit well and function well.
Forces applied to the remaining abutment teeth can make cause mobility, and fractures. Some develop decay around clasps.
Hello!, partial dentures over time, causes pressure on the teeth where there are clasps. But, still not a bad option.
