These appliances are used when only a few teeth are missing, and the remaining teeth are stable enough to act as supports for the denture. They can be made of various materials including cast metal, a hard acrylic, or a flexible plastic material. Each material has its own advantages and disadvantages, including costs, longevity, repairability, and feel.
Patients who are missing all of their upper or lower teeth can have an acrylic dentures to replace the entire arch of teeth. This can be a very cost effective option.
When dentures are loose, sometimes they can be stabilized by connecting them to dental implants. This is a very effective way to avoid messy denture glues and can allow you to enjoy eating and speaking without the embarrassment of dentures falling out of your mouth!
