All Acrylic
Partial Dentures
A partial denture replaces one or more missing teeth with durable and natural-looking artificial teeth that are held in place with a gum-colored base made of high quality acrylic resin. The artificial denture teeth are selected carefully to match the size, shape, and color of the patient's natural teeth to create a natural and seamless smile restoration.

Features
All acrylic removeable partial dentures (RPDs) are an affordable option for tooth restorations. They are often used temporarily to replace a tooth immediately after an extraction and before a fixed implant is placed. RPDs can also be the final restorative solution in cases where fixed implants are not recommended or unwanted.
​
Our RPDs incorporate a minimum of two wrought wire clasps for retention. When designing these clasps, we extend the lengths of wire fully into the denture base and overlap them before their termination point, which provides additional strength and stability to the partial.
