No. In fact, having missing teeth is more harmful to your jaw. Thank you for your question.
Good morning, partial dentures are actually beneficial as a partial helps retain the structural integrity of your teeth.
Partial dentures can be beneficial for appearance and function, but long-term use may contribute to jawbone resorption. Regular check-ups are crucial to monitor any impact on jaw health.
If taken care of properly and designed well, they shouldnt be a problem for your jaw.
Partial dentures are not bad for your jaw, assuming they are made right. It is better to have a partial denture than nothing. This will prevent hyper eruption or movement of other teeth, which can misalign the jaw. A mis aligned jaw, actually effects your aging process of your body.
Only if they dont fit well.  Mary Swift DDSDallas Laser Dentistrywww.dallascosmeticdentist.us
