What are acrylic partial dentures?
Missing a few teeth but want a natural-looking solution? Acrylic partial dentures are a great option. These custom-made dental prosthetics are designed to seamlessly fill gaps left by missing teeth. Unlike full dentures, which replace all your natural teeth, acrylic partials focus on replacing just a few. Whether you need one tooth replaced or several, acrylic dental partial dentures can be crafted to perfectly suit your specific needs.
The supporting structure of the denture is made from a gum-coloured acrylic material, which provides a natural look and blends in with your gums. Artificial teeth are then inserted into this base, creating a robust and aesthetically pleasing replacement for your missing teeth. Another benefit of acrylic partial dentures is the ease of adding to them or relining them as needed. Additionally, repairs to acrylic dentures are typically quick and hassle-free.

Choosing your clasp style: A touch of personalisation to your acrylic partials
When designing your acrylic partial denture, you get to choose the clasp style that best suits your needs.
Our dental prosthetists will discuss your preferences and recommend the most suitable clasp type based on factors like:
The location of missing teeth: For teeth near the front of your mouth, gum colored clasps might be preferred.
The number of teeth being replaced: Metal clasps might offer more stability for extensive replacements.
Your cosmetic priorities: If a natural, invisible look is important, gum colored clasps might be the best choice.
We understand the importance of both aesthetics and function. We will help you find the perfect balance for your new smile!
Metal Clasps
These provide a strong and reliable hold, particularly beneficial for back teeth.
Gum Coloured Clasps
Ideal for clasps visible in the smile zone, they blend in seamlessly for a more discreet look. These clasps are made of a translucent material, making them virtually invisible when in place.
No denture question is too big or too small!
Why would I need a partial acrylic denture?
Partial acrylic dentures are an economical way to replace the loss of natural teeth. Gaps caused by missing teeth are unsightly and can compromise your ability to eat and enjoy a full range of foods. Further, acrylic partial dentures are designed to help prevent remaining teeth from drifting into the empty space. Without tooth support, gaps in your dental arch can cause health consequences like bone loss in the jaw, thereby changing the shape of your face and altering your bite. Jaw misalignment caused by missing teeth can be responsible for headaches and other discomforts.
How do partial acrylic dentures function?
Acrylic partial dentures are made to closely fit the shape of your gums and mouth anatomy, contacting both hard and soft mouth tissues. The acrylic partial denture is held in place by clasping the remaining natural teeth with a choice of either metal or aesthetic (gum coloured) retainers ensuring a firm and comfortable fit.

Frequently asked questions
How long do acrylic partial dentures last?
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.
What do acrylic partial dentures cost?
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.
What is an acrylic partial denture?
An acrylic partial denture is an economical, removeable and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
Can you be allergic to acrylic dentures?
While not common, 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.
