A Comfortable Solution for Temporary or Long-Term Tooth Replacement

A full denture with acrylic teeth is a removable dental appliance designed to replace an entire arch of missing teeth upper, lower, or both.

Acrylic teeth are made from durable plastic materials, often used as a temporary or healing option while gums and bone adjust after extractions. They restore function and appearance during the healing process and can serve as an affordable, interim solution before switching to permanent dentures or implants.

How Full Dentures with Acrylic Teeth Work?

1. Exam & Consultation
   Your dentist evaluates your gums, bone health, and overall oral condition to confirm if acrylic dentures are right for you.

2. Impressions
   We take precise molds of your gums to create a secure and comfortable fit.

3. Fabrication
   Our dental lab crafts the denture with an acrylic base and acrylic teeth designed for temporary use.

4. Fitting & Adjustments
   Once placed, your dentist makes small adjustments to ensure you can speak and eat comfortably.

5. Follow-ups
   As your gums heal and reshape, follow-up visits help maintain comfort and fit until your permanent solution is ready.

Benefits of Full Dentures with Acrylic Teeth

• Affordable solution: More budget-friendly than composite or permanent options.

• Healing support: Ideal during the gum and bone healing stage after extractions.

• Quick fabrication: Can be made and delivered faster than permanent dentures.
  Restored function: Lets you chew and speak while waiting for a final prosthesis.

• Temporary option: Helps you transition toward long-term treatments like implants or composite dentures.

How to Take Care of Your Acrylic Full Denture

• Rinse with warm water after meals to remove food and plaque. Avoid hot water to prevent warping.

• Brush daily with a soft denture brush and denture paste—never regular toothpaste.

• Soak overnight in water or a denture solution to keep it fresh and free of stains.

• Rinse thoroughly before wearing again.

How Are Acrylic Dentures Different from Composite Dentures or Implants?

Acrylic dentures are:

• More affordable, making them a popular temporary choice.

• Lighter in material but less durable than composite teeth.

• Mainly designed as healing or transitional dentures.

Composite dentures or implants, on the other hand, are:

• Stronger, longer-lasting, and more natural-looking.

• A better option for permanent solutions.

• More stable and resistant to wear compared to acrylic.
  
  

💡 In summary: acrylic dentures are a cost-effective, temporary option often used during healing, while composite dentures or implants provide a more durable, permanent solution.
