Removable Denture (Acrylic or Skeletal)

A removable denture replaces several missing teeth on a custom-made plate that can be taken out for cleaning, restoring chewing and the look of the smile. WellDent makes acrylic dentures at 2,000 zł and stronger cobalt-chromium skeletal (framework) dentures at 3,200 zł, which clasp onto remaining teeth for a more stable, slimmer fit. The choice depends on how many teeth are missing and the condition of the supporting teeth.

A removable denture is a custom-made appliance that replaces a number of missing teeth and can be taken out for cleaning. It restores the ability to chew, supports the lips and cheeks and improves the appearance of the smile, and is a long-established, non-surgical way to address tooth loss. WellDent offers two main types. An acrylic denture, priced at 2,000 zł, is made largely from a gum-coloured acrylic base carrying the replacement teeth and is often used when several or all teeth in an arch are missing. A skeletal denture, at 3,200 zł, is built around a cast cobalt-chromium metal framework that clasps onto the remaining natural teeth; this makes it slimmer, stronger and more stable than an all-acrylic plate, and is suited to patients who still have a number of healthy teeth to anchor it. Making a denture takes several appointments, during which impressions are recorded, the bite is registered, the shade and arrangement of the teeth are chosen and the finished denture is fitted and adjusted for comfort and function; minor adjustments are common in the first weeks as the mouth adapts. The dentist will advise which type is more appropriate for your situation, weighing the number and position of missing teeth, the state of the supporting teeth and the difference in cost. Dentures suit adults with several missing teeth who want a removable, more affordable alternative to fixed bridges or implants; suitability and the most suitable design are agreed at consultation.
