Price Matching Guarantee ** /Complete dentures are also called ‘full dentures’. These types of false teeth come in a full arch and can replace all of your teeth on both your upper and lower jaw if needed. If you need all of your teeth replaced, on either your upper or lower jaw, then you’ll have to get complete dentures. You should keep your acrylic dentures clean by brushing them at least twice a day and soaking them in a special denture cleaner. But even if you are following cleaning best practices, you may find that your dentures look like they could use a polish.

High Specification Precision Fit

Out of State Next Day Delivery /Metal dentures are typically made from cobalt and chromium. This combination of metals makes them quite a bit stronger than acrylic dentures, and much lighter to wear. Chrome dentures have a bit of gum-coloured plastic fixed to them in places where they may be visible, and they also have natural-looking teeth.

Cobalt chrome dentures sit around natural teeth (in the case of partial dentures), and the false teeth are attached to the base with acrylic material. You can have both partial and full metal dentures. With partial dentures, cobalt chrome dentures can be securely supported in your mouth by your natural teeth, called tooth-borne partial dentures.

Advantages:

  • Stronger than other materials
  • Thinner and more lightweight than other materials
  • Better grip than other materials
  • More comfortable
  • Better chewing ability
  • Most hygienic option

Broken DentureEmergency Repairs Out of Hours

Don't Panic, We are here to help

No appointment necessary - just call /We provide an emergency out of hours service for denture repairs. Please contact Elijah on 719 308 9009 for further details. Most standard denture repairs can be done within the hour, however some denture repairs can be more complicated and an impression may be required, this can take a little longer. – If your dentures have broken in use, i.e. eating or biting, no matter how soft the food, then something has changed with your denture function. Simply repairing the denture may not correct the problem, a technical diagnosis is needed to determine the required treatment necessary. – If your dentures are not thoroughly worn out then it may be possible to reline (re-fit) your dentures, in most cases this usually solves the problem, depending upon the wear of the posterior (back) teeth and can be completed while you wait, or within the day. We recommend refitting every 3 years, as ill fit causes increasing denture movement, which will wear the denture away more rapidly. –

If your dentures are over five years old then it may be necessary to have a replacement set made, as the occlusal surfaces (chewing) may be worn out. –

*Please note that, in some cases, the cause of the denture breakage can be more complicated.

Acrylic Dentures

The clue is in the name here, acrylic false teeth are made from acrylic resin. And although this refers to the gum-coloured part of the appliance, the teeth can be made from a similar acrylic resin or porcelain. This is a very popular material to use for false teeth. In fact, according to a study highlighted by the National Institute of Health, most teeth used to make complete dentures are made from acrylic resin.That’s because there are quite a few benefits to using acrylic resin for false teeth, such as:

  • They are easier to adjust for denture occlusion than harder materials
  • They increase bonding strength at the base of the device
  • They are more affordable than some other materials like porcelain and metal

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are dental appliances that contain one or more false teeth. They can clip-in to your mouth and are removable, just like full dentures. But unlike full dentures, they don’t replace a full arch of missing teeth.
As we mentioned above, partial dentures allow you to keep your healthy teeth, while filling in the gaps where you have missing teeth. These false teeth normally use your original teeth as an anchor to clip on to, holding them securely in your mouth. They can also be removed quite easily.

In order to fit your partial dentures – making them the appropriate size and shape for your mouth – the process is much like the process for getting full dentures
