WHAT ARE ACRYLIC PARTIAL DENTURES

A practical and affordable option for missing teeth

Acrylic partial dentures are removable appliances that replace one or more missing teeth using a plastic (acrylic resin) base and artificial teeth. They are the most affordable type of partial denture, making quality tooth replacement accessible to a wider range of patients.

While not as strong as chrome cobalt metal partials, acrylic partials are easy to adjust, repair, and modify. They can also be added to easily if you lose additional teeth in the future — making them a practical interim or long-term solution.

Good to know: Acrylic partials can be a great interim solution while saving for a more permanent option, or as a long-term solution for patients who value easy adjustability and lower cost.

THE PROCESS

Getting your acrylic partial dentures

The process for acrylic partials is efficient, typically requiring fewer appointments than metal alternatives. Here’s what to expect.

01

Initial Consultation

We assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and take preliminary impressions of your gums and jaw.

02

Custom Impressions

Detailed moulds are taken of your gum ridges to create a model that captures your unique anatomy.

03

Wax Try-In

Your acrylic partial is tried in and adjusted for fit, bite and aesthetics.

04

Delivery & Aftercare

Once you're happy with the result, your partial is polished and delivered with aftercare instructions.
