Acrylic partial dentures are removable false teeth which fill in the gaps caused by missing teeth. Unlike full dentures, which replace all your natural teeth, partial dentures replace just a few. Whether you need to replace a single tooth, or several teeth, an acrylic partial denture can be designed to suit your specific needs. The gum coloured, acrylic material from which the partial dentures are made, forms the supporting structure of the device into which artificial teeth are inserted, producing a robust and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. The acrylic partial denture can be easily added to, or relined. Denture repairs are generally rapid and problem free.
There is a wide range of acrylic partial denture combinations from which to choose, ensuring you get the most suitable partial denture for your unique requirements. The Northern Rivers Denture Clinic team are happy to explain your acrylic partial denture options and discuss which is the best for you.
When designing your new acrylic partial denture, you will have a choice of metal or aesthetic gum coloured clasps. Gum coloured clasps are an ideal solution to clasp teeth seen in the smile line. (Available on premium and cobalt chrome dentures)
Check out our before and after comparison video of this patient’s partial standard acrylic upper denture. The patient requested Vitapan Classic teeth in shade ‘A1’. Dr Paul matched the shape of the teeth with the patient’s facial shape, the shape of the patient’s natural teeth and the natural anatomical shape of the mouth. It’s a great outcome with a beautiful smile!

With careful maintenance, annual check-ups, and denture relines when necessary, you can expect an acrylic partial denture to last between 5-7 years. The individual’s changing mouth due to ageing, and their particular pattern of wear, accounts for the variation in time span.
Acrylic partial dentures are an economic choice when it comes to partial dentures. Prices vary according to the requirements of each individual case. These include the number of teeth you require on your partial denture, or any customisations you desire, for example. See the table for estimations of acrylic denture cost.
An acrylic partial denture is an economical, removeable and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
An allergic reaction after being fitted with false teeth cannot be ruled out in some individuals. Although the acrylic material the partial denture is made from has good properties and aesthetics, it is possible side effects could occur in some sensitive individuals. As an alternative, the Ezifit and flexible dentures are monomer and acrylic free.
