Types of removable dentures

Clinique Cloutier denturologiste Montréal | Removable partial denture

Removable partial denture

Large edentulous spaces can be filled by partial dentures that are retained by hooks on the remaining teeth. This solution is certainly economical but does not always offer a satisfactory aesthetic result. In a case where there is sufficient inter-maxillary space, the base of the partial prosthesis is made of a mixture of chromium alloy and cobalt. The cast metallic palate is four times thinner than the acrylic that conducts heat, enhancing the taste sensations.

Different types of reinforcement exist either in metal or fiberglass can be integrated with the acrylic during baking to solidify the partial denture. Price starting at $800 per prosthesis depending on the needs of the patient.

Clinique Cloutier denturologiste Montréal | Removable full denture

Removable full denture

Full dentures are used to restore fully edentulous jaws to a basic dentition. As part of this solution, the new teeth (either acrylic, composite or porcelain) are supported by a resin base color similar to the gum. At the level of the maxillary, this restoration is maintained by the force of suction and saliva unlike the mandible which is maintained mechanically.

This treatment takes on average 4 appointments, it all depends on the work of the denturologist. We always follow up after the denture is applied, to ensure our patients are satisfied. Wearing a well-fitting dental prosthesis helps to improve your appearance and avoid certain long-term health problems.

Price starting at $800 per prosthesis, depending on the needs of the patient.
