Skeletal (Frame) Denture

A removable partial denture built on a slim, strong metal framework that replaces several missing teeth while clasping onto the remaining natural ones for stability. Centrum ELLMED makes skeletal dentures in its laboratory and lists them alongside acrylic, acron and hybrid options. A frame denture is a more rigid, lower-profile alternative to a bulkier all-acrylic plate for suitable patients.

A skeletal, or frame, denture is a removable replacement for several missing teeth that is constructed around a cast metal framework rather than a thick acrylic base. The metal frame is slim yet strong and uses clasps that grip the remaining natural teeth, which makes the denture more stable, more comfortable and far less bulky than a full acrylic plate — many patients find a frame denture easier to wear and eat with, and it transmits less coverage over the palate. At Centrum ELLMED the denture is planned around the patient's existing teeth and gum condition, with impressions taken so the framework and tooth positions are made to fit precisely in the clinic's laboratory; the team checks the fit, bite and appearance before finishing. The skeletal denture is priced at 3,100 zł, and the clinic publishes a range of removable options so patients can choose what suits their case and budget — an acron (flexible) denture at 3,000 zł, a hybrid skeletal-and-acron design at 3,800 zł, an acrylic partial for up to three teeth at 1,500 zł, and complete acrylic dentures from 2,700 zł. The dentist advises which design fits the pattern of missing teeth and the health of the supporting teeth and gums, and explains cleaning and care. A well-made denture is associated with restored chewing and a more complete smile, and it can be combined with implants in some cases for additional retention.
