Flexible Partial vs Full Denture vs Snap-On Veneers

Clear aligners, snap-on covers, flippers, full dentures, and custom partials solve different problems. See which one fills a missing-tooth gap.

Search for "fake teeth you can take out" and you'll get very different products mixed together. They solve different problems. Here's how to tell them apart. (Klyros does not sell snap-on veneers or aligners. This page compares the categories.)

Four things people mean

1. Clear aligners: they move teeth you already have.

They straighten. They don't replace a missing tooth.

2. Snap-on covers ("snap-on veneers"): they go over teeth you already have.

They change how existing teeth look. They aren't built to replace a missing tooth.

3. Flippers: a small placeholder.

A stopgap, often used short-term while you plan a longer-term option.

4. Custom partial: it fills the gaps you have.

It's custom-made from your own impression, and a licensed dentist (DDS) in your state reviews it before fabrication. Klyros Flex starts at $489 per arch, and Precision Partial Pro starts at $789 per arch. (Source: Klyros Shopify pricing.)

Where does a full denture fit?

A full denture is made for people missing all the teeth in an arch. If you still have some natural teeth and are missing one or a few, a partial is the category built for that. Your dentist can tell you which applies to your mouth.

FAQ

Can snap-on veneers replace a missing tooth?

They're made to cover teeth you have, not to replace a missing one.

Is a flipper the same as a partial?

A flipper is usually a small placeholder. A custom partial is made from your own impression to fill your gaps.

Do I need a full denture if I'm missing a few teeth?

Full dentures are for a whole missing arch. Ask your dentist what fits your case.

What does a Klyros partial cost?

Flex is $489 for one arch or $859 for both. Precision Partial Pro is $789 for one arch or $1,479 for both. (Source: Shopify.)

Cosmetic removable appliances are non-surgical, non-permanent dental devices intended for aesthetic enhancement only. They do not move teeth, correct bite alignment, or treat dental disease. All cases are reviewed by a licensed dentist prior to fabrication where applicable. Eligibility is determined at the discretion of the reviewing provider. Results vary by individual case. Appliances are removable and not intended as a substitute for comprehensive dental care. Patients should maintain regular in-office dental examinations and follow the advice of their local dental provider.
