Indications
- If the installation of permanent dentures is impossible due to the absence of several teeth in the patient
- When the patient wants to wear a removable option rather than a permanent one
- If the patient is missing all the teeth on one of the jaws
- When a temporary solution is needed to replace a significant number of missing teeth
- If it is necessary to restore one tooth to improve the aesthetics of your smile
- If severe gum disease is detected
- If the patient is intolerant to the metal used in permanent dentures
- Removable dentures are also suitable for replacing several adjacent lateral teeth or central dental units while preserving adjacent teeth
Despite numerous advantages, artificial jaws have a number of significant disadvantages:
- They do not create an even load on the jaw tissue, which can cause atrophy over time. Therefore, there is a need for regular replacement of dentures
- Dentures are not fixed securely in the oral cavity, which leads to difficulty chewing and impedes speech
- Complicated and lengthy process of adaptation to prostheses. Some people experience discomfort and soft tissue injuries during the adaptation period
- It is impossible to install a removable denture immediately after tooth extraction, unlike implantation
Removable dentures are recommended only in cases where other methods of prosthetics, such as bridges or implants, are not suitable for medical reasons.
It is prohibited to install removable dentures if there are the following contraindications:
- Bleeding disorders
- Malignant or benign tumors
- Immunodeficiency conditions
- Allergy to anesthetics or prosthetic materials
- Diseases of the central nervous system
Patients should tell their doctor in advance about any of these conditions. In such cases, the dentist may consider alternative methods of restoring dental function to ensure the patient's safety and comfort.
Types of dentures
In addition, there are new innovations in the field of installing removable dentures. Evihard and Evidsun are new domestic materials, characterized by wear resistance, flexibility and durability. They offer improved comfort and are not prone to plaque formation.
Depending on the coating, removable dentures are of the following types:
- Acrylic They are in demand due to their light weight and hardness. A wide range of colors ensures a perfect match with natural teeth. Despite the aesthetics, the products can cause discomfort and difficulty in adaptation
- Quadrotti A type of clasp dentures, which are made of durable white plastic. They are highly resistant to wear and comfortable to wear and do not contain metal
- Silicone They are soft and elastic, ensuring a tight fit to the gums. They have a limited service life and require periodic correction
- Acry Free Innovative prosthetics made from non-toxic polymer. They are highly flexible, convenient, safe and reliable to use
- Nylon They are thin, flexible, durable and hypoallergenic. They combine convenience and aesthetics
How to choose a denture
When selecting a denture, the doctor takes into account several key factors:
- Preferences in appearance
- Safety and ease of use
- Anatomical features of the oral cavity
- Cost
For people with allergies to metals or plastic, acrylic and clasp dentures are unacceptable. If the patient is completely missing teeth, then dentures such as Quadrotti or Acri Free will not suit him.
More flexible structures, such as nylon prostheses, are most often recommended for athletes. In case of periodontal disease or diabetes, when bridge prostheses are contraindicated, silicone products are the optimal choice.
Important! The service life of a prosthesis depends on its material. Silicone structures wear out faster, acrylic ones can last up to five years, and nylon ones - up to seven.
Prostheses made of acrylic and Acry Free are easier to repair, unlike nylon ones, which often require replacement if damaged.
How does adaptation to removable dentures proceed?
The process of getting used to a removable jaw is accompanied by certain physiological reactions. Typical manifestations of adaptation include:
- Feeling of discomfort in the mouth
- Increased salivation or dry mouth
- Moderate pain when chewing
- Temporary loss of taste, especially when using complete dentures
- Gag reflex or nausea
- Problems with speech clarity
- Stress due to difficulties in adaptation
In rare cases, wearing dentures may be accompanied by the development of pathological reactions. These include:
- Intense gum irritation
- Occurrence of infections in the oral cavity
- Continuous pain while chewing
- Redness and swelling of the gums
- Elevated body temperature
- Purulent discharge from the gums
If you notice any of these signs, contact your dentist immediately. Such symptoms may indicate serious complications and require medical attention.
Classification of removable dentures
There are two categories of removable structures that are used to restore lost teeth:
Partial dentures come in the following types:
It is worth mentioning separately that prostheses can be temporary or permanent. For example, butterfly dentures are considered a temporary solution until more durable crowns are installed.

Advantages of removable prosthetics
One of the main advantages of the procedure is its lower cost, in contrast to permanent prosthetics on implants. The manufacturing process is also more simplified, which increases the speed of the orthopedist’s work. Patients can choose the material of the prosthesis taking into account their financial capabilities and preferences.
Removable dentures easily adapt to any defects in the dentition and are made in different shades, which allows the doctor to choose the best option.
Caring for removable teeth is simple: they should be regularly cleaned and treated with disinfectants.
