Částečná zubní protéza: co je, kdy ji použít a jak se o ni starat
When you lose a few teeth but still have some healthy ones left, a částečná zubní protéza, snímací zubní doplněk, který nahrazuje chybějící zuby a je upevněn na zbylé zuby nebo dásně. Also known as snímací protéza, it lets you chew, speak, and smile naturally again without surgery. Unlike implants, it doesn’t need drilling into your jawbone, and unlike a full denture, it only replaces what’s missing—so you keep your natural teeth where they still work.
Many people choose a částečná zubní protéza because it’s affordable, quick to make, and reversible. It’s often the first step after losing teeth due to decay, gum disease, or injury. The framework is usually made of metal or flexible resin, and the fake teeth are crafted to match your natural ones in color and shape. You’ll find these in our posts under terms like nalepovací zuby—those are temporary fixes, while a proper partial denture is built to last years with care.
How do you know if it’s right for you? If you’re missing one or more teeth on one side, or scattered across your jaw, and you don’t want implants or bridges, a partial denture is a solid option. It doesn’t require altering your healthy teeth like a bridge does. But it does need daily cleaning and regular checkups—just like your real teeth. Our posts cover how to clean it without breaking it, how to avoid bad breath from trapped food, and what to do if it starts to feel loose.
Some think it’s just a cheap fix, but a well-made partial denture can last over a decade. It’s not just about replacing teeth—it’s about keeping your jawbone from shrinking, preventing your other teeth from shifting, and avoiding problems with your bite. That’s why even if you think you can live without one tooth, your dentist might still recommend it.
You’ll find posts here that explain how to eat with it, what foods to avoid at first, and how to handle discomfort during the adjustment period. We also cover how to tell if your denture needs adjusting—because if it rubs or hurts, it’s not fitting right. And yes, some people use nalepovací zuby as a stopgap, but those aren’t meant for long-term use. A real partial denture is custom-made, stable, and designed to be part of your daily life.
Whether you’re considering this option for the first time or you’ve worn one for years, the posts below give you real advice—not marketing fluff. You’ll learn how to clean it without scratching, why saliva matters, how often to see your dentist for adjustments, and what to do if it breaks on vacation. We don’t sugarcoat it: it takes getting used to. But with the right info, it becomes second nature.
