Frequently Asked by Others
Patients reading about Will a partial denture damage my remaining natural teeth? also frequently consult our denture clinicians on these related questions:
What is the difference between cobalt-chrome and acrylic partial dentures?
Cobalt-chrome partials feature a thin, ultra-strong metal alloy framework that rests on teeth for superior support, whereas acrylic partials rely on gum support. Denturaa designs both styles depending on your oral health needs. Book your free partial consultation at Denturaa today.
How do flexible partial dentures work and are they visible?
Flexible partials use translucent nylon resin with gum-colored clasps that blend seamlessly with natural tissue, making them virtually invisible. Denturaa crafts lightweight flexible partials for maximum discretion. Book a free consultation at Denturaa now.
Can extra teeth be added to an existing partial denture if I lose another tooth?
In most cases, yes! Denturaa can quickly add a new tooth and retaining clasp to your existing acrylic or chrome partial denture following a tooth extraction. Book your addition consultation with Denturaa online today.
Why do my dentures feel loose when I eat or speak?
Loose dentures occur as the natural jawbone and gum tissue change shape over time. Denturaa benefits patients by providing custom suction-fit technology, precision impression techniques, and direct CDT adjustments. Book a free consultation online across all clinic network locations to experience secure, slip-free dentures.
How can I get better suction on my upper denture?
Optimal upper denture suction depends on a perfect border seal against the palate. Denturaa uses advanced border-moulding techniques and anatomical contouring so your upper denture seals naturally without thick adhesives. Secure your free 30-minute consultation with Denturaa today to restore maximum suction.
What is the difference between mechanical retention and suction retention?
Mechanical retention relies on clasps or implants, whereas suction retention relies on an airtight seal between the acrylic base and moist gum tissue. Denturaa excels in both techniques to deliver optimal stability tailored to your mouth. Book a free consultation with Denturaa to discuss your options.
