Removable Denture (Skeleton / Acrylic)

Custom removable dentures that replace several or all missing teeth to restore chewing, speech and the support of the lips and cheeks. The clinic makes full and partial acrylic dentures as well as cast metal-framework (skeleton) dentures, which are slimmer and stronger, including a clasp-free version for better aesthetics. Immediate dentures can be fitted straight after extractions, and existing dentures can be relined as the gums change shape over time.

A removable denture replaces missing teeth with a custom-made appliance that the patient can take out for cleaning. At Stomatologia Pietrzyccy dentures are made to restore the ability to chew and speak, support the lips and cheeks, and improve appearance, with several designs to suit different situations and budgets. A full (complete) denture replaces all the teeth in an arch, a partial denture fills in around remaining natural teeth, and an immediate denture can be inserted straight after extractions so the patient is not left without teeth while the gums heal. For a more refined result the practice offers cast metal-framework, or skeleton, dentures: these use a slim, rigid metal base that is stronger and less bulky than all-acrylic plates and is retained by clasps on the natural teeth, with a clasp-free version available where visible metalwork is a concern. Making a denture involves a series of appointments to take impressions or scans, record the bite and check the fit and appearance before completion. Because the gums and underlying bone gradually change shape after teeth are lost, a denture may need relining over time to keep it fitting securely, and this is offered as a separate service. For patients who find a lower denture loose, the clinic can place mini-implants to help stabilise it. The most suitable design and materials are discussed at a prosthetic consultation.
