Dentures (Acrylic / Framework)

Dentures are removable replacements for missing teeth that restore chewing, speech and the appearance of a complete smile. ASP Stomatologia makes acrylic dentures, a comfortable and economical option, and cast metal-framework dentures, which are slimmer and more rigid for a secure fit. Each is custom-made from impressions over a series of visits. They are a well-established, non-surgical way to replace several or all teeth in an arch.

When several or all of the teeth in a jaw are missing, a denture provides a removable, custom-made appliance that restores the ability to chew and speak and supports the lips and cheeks for a more natural appearance. At ASP Stomatologia dentures are produced over a sequence of appointments: impressions and measurements of the jaws are taken, the bite and tooth arrangement are recorded and tried in, and the finished denture is fitted and adjusted for comfort. The practice offers two principal types. An acrylic denture is made entirely of a gum-coloured acrylic base carrying the replacement teeth; it is a comfortable, economical and easily adjusted option, often used as a complete denture or as an initial solution. A cast metal-framework (skeletal) denture incorporates a precisely cast metal substructure that makes it thinner, stronger and more stable, clasping onto remaining natural teeth for a secure partial denture. The right choice depends on how many teeth are missing, the condition of any remaining teeth and your priorities for comfort, strength and budget. New dentures usually take a short period to get used to, and minor adjustments are normal as the fit settles; the dentist provides guidance on wearing, cleaning and caring for the appliance to keep it hygienic and the underlying gums healthy. Dentures can also be combined with other treatment within a wider plan, and where appropriate the dentist can outline how they compare with fixed options. Regular review is recommended because the gums and bone gradually change shape over the years, which can affect fit. The dentist will assess your mouth and explain which type of denture is most suitable before work begins.
