The choice of dental prosthetics is vast. We will present specific prosthetic treatment options for you after a consultation at our clinic. Generally, two types of prosthetics are offered – fixed on teeth or implants, and removable prosthetics.
Removable Dentures
Removable dentures are artificial teeth or sets of teeth used to restore dental function when one or more natural teeth are missing. These dentures can be taken out and reinserted by the patient, hence they are called “removable dentures.”
Although removable dentures are often more affordable compared to other prosthetic options, they may not provide long-term durability or comfort. Patients frequently feel that these are not their natural teeth, leading to discomfort when chewing and potential psychological distress. Additionally, removable dentures do not prevent jawbone deterioration and often do not restore full chewing function, requiring significant maintenance.

Main Types of Removable Dentures
Complete Dentures
Used when a patient has no natural teeth remaining. These are designed to restore an entire arch of teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
Partial Dentures
Used when a patient is missing only a few teeth. Partial dentures are attached to the remaining natural teeth and fill in the gaps where teeth are missing.
Removable Dentures
Standard Acrylic Plates
These are dentures made from solid acrylic plastic and used for both partial and complete denture applications. They can be easily removed and reinserted into the mouth, making them a popular and affordable choice. However, removable dentures do not prevent jawbone loss and may not provide optimal chewing function.
Advantages
Cost-Effectiveness
Acrylic plates are a more affordable option compared to other denture methods like ceramics or dental implants.
Aesthetics
Acrylic can be tinted to match the patient’s gum color, making the dentures appear more natural.
Maintenance
Acrylic dentures are relatively easy to care for.
Flexible Dentures
These dentures are made from a flexible and durable material, typically thermoplastic, which makes them more comfortable and adaptable to the mouth compared to traditional rigid acrylic dentures.
Key Features and Benefits
Flexibility
Flexible dentures adapt better to the mouth’s anatomy, providing greater comfort compared to rigid acrylic dentures.
Aesthetics
The material can be matched to the patient’s gum color, often making these dentures look more natural.
Comfort
The flexibility ensures less pressure on the gums and other oral tissues.
Attachment
Due to their flexibility, these dentures are often fitted without metal clasps, which can be visible and uncomfortable.
Framework Dentures
This method is typically chosen when a patient is missing one or several teeth. Framework dentures are more quickly adapted to by patients and provide a more secure fit compared to soft and standard plates. These dentures are attached with clasps or locks to the patient’s remaining natural teeth, using them as support to provide stability and reliability.
Advantages
Stability
The framework design and attachment to natural teeth make these dentures more stable than traditional acrylic plate dentures.
Comfort
Because the denture rests on several natural teeth, it fits more securely and is less likely to shift or become dislodged.
Long-Term Durability
The metal framework is durable and long-lasting, making these dentures more resilient than some other types.
Restoration of Chewing Function
The denture helps restore natural chewing function by being anchored to natural teeth, which assist in distributing chewing forces.

How to care for your teeth after dental prosthetics?
Our clinic specialists are always ready to answer your questions and explain how to care for your teeth after each procedure. Fixed prosthetics usually require no additional care beyond regular natural tooth maintenance. Removable prosthetics, such as dental plates, need to be cleaned after every meal, as food particles and debris accumulate underneath them. It is recommended to have professional oral hygiene performed annually, and if you have implants, hygiene should be done every 6 months.
