What Is a Denture and What Is It Made Of?
A prosthetic appliance worn to replace lost or missing teeth, a denture allows you the ability to enjoy a healthy diet and to smile with confidence. Complete dentures can be used to replace natural teeth in either your upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures help to fill in the gaps created by lost or missing teeth. Partial dentures are attached to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices also known as precision attachments. The base of a denture is referred to as the plate and it can be constructed of either acrylic or metal (Vitallium). Teeth are typically made of acrylic and can be colour-matched to your natural teeth, especially in case of partial dentures. Our clinic uses two types of acrylic: hard-pressed and the Ivocap system.
