Comprehensive Guide to Dentures: Full, Partial & Implant Retained

Dentures can help restore your smile and confidence by replacing missing teeth. Whether you’re looking for partial denture repair near me or considering full denture implants, our guide covers every option. At The Dentist West Midlands, we aim to match you with the perfect denture solution for a comfortable, natural-looking result.

Dentures Materials and Framework

Choosing the right material for your partial or full dentures implants is important, as it affects their durability and comfort. Your denture dentist near me will guide you through all the options and help you choose the best fit for your needs.

The teeth

The teeth of a denture are typically made from acrylic, chrome, or porcelain, each offering different benefits.

Porcelain Dentures

  1. Natural translucency, closely resembles real teeth.
  2. Durable but can be more prone to fracture if dropped.

However, porcelain dentures have some downsides. They can break if dropped on a hard surface and may wear down natural teeth if they bite against them. Because of this, porcelain is usually better for full denture implants rather than partial dentures.

Acrylic (Modern Denture Materials)

Today, most dentures are made from acrylic, nylon, or metal. These materials are:

  • More affordable than porcelain.
  • Lighter in weight, making them more comfortable to wear.

Whether you need same-day denture repair near me or implant-retained dentures, your dentist near me can help you choose the best material for long-lasting comfort.

Metal Framework

  • Often made from chrome cobalt.
  • Thinner and more durable than acrylic, commonly used for partial dentures.

Different types of denture

A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth, designed to restore function and appearance.

Types:

  1. Complete Dentures – Used when all teeth are missing, providing a full set of replacement teeth. Ideal for those considering full denture implants or traditional dentures.
  2. Partial Dentures – Used when some natural teeth remain, filling in gaps while preserving your existing teeth. If damage occurs, partial denture repair near me services can help restore them quickly.
