Are acrylic partial dentures temporary or permanent?

Acrylic partial denture devices are temporary and removable.

How long will acrylic partial dentures last?

With proper care, acrylic partial dentures could last up to five years. They are easily relined and repaired which can lengthen their lifespan, but the acrylic material can often become brittle if not cared for properly. Acrylic partial dentures will not last as long as cast metal dentures and are often used as temporary options for patients waiting for implants or a more permanent tooth replacement solution.

Can you eat with acrylic partial dentures?

Yes you can! While the partial denture may feel uncomfortable or awkward at first, it will get easier to eat the foods you like over time. Consider starting with soft foods and small bites until you are more comfortable using your new denture, and then gradually start incorporating more foods into your diet.

Can you sleep with acrylic partial dentures?

It is recommended that you remove your dentures at night to give your gums a rest and to avoid any dislodging of the device in your mouth while you sleep. It is not uncommon for dentures to be broken or damaged overnight when the wearer is sleeping, so it is recommended to remove the device at night to avoid any need for repairs.

How much do acrylic partial dentures cost?

Acrylic dentures are often the most affordable partial denture offered at a practice. Each denture is unique and requires specific services depending on how many teeth need to be fastened to the device, how big the device will be, or even which jaw (upper or lower) needs the device.

Q: How long does it take to get acrylic partial dentures?

At Affordable Dentures & Implants, we can almost always get our patients fitted and sent home with their new acrylic dentures on the same day of their initial appointment.

Our Services

For patients who are not in need of implants or full dentures, Affordable Dentures & Implants offers a wide variety of partial denture solutions at the best prices.

We can make almost all of these dentures in our on-site lab, which cuts down on the time it takes to create each denture and it allows us to bypass a third party lab in most cases. These third parties are often what will drive up the cost of dentures, so we are proud to be able to pass these savings on to our patients.

Benefits of Acrylic Partials

For patients who are missing one or several teeth on their upper or lower jaw, but don’t want to pay a premium price, acrylic partial dentures might be the best option for you.

Acrylic partial dentures are more affordable, but they tend to feel more bulky in the mouth. This removable partial denture has an acrylic base into which the denture teeth are set and is attached to your natural teeth with small metal clasps.

The acrylic partial may be available with more durable, natural-looking teeth and comes in a variety of colors to help you achieve a more seamless look. The staff at your local Affordable Dentures & Implants office can inform you of availability in each office.

Acrylic dentures are not as long lasting as cast metal dentures, but they do act as a great option for temporary dentures because they can be made quickly while still looking natural. They are also easily adjusted for relines or for instances in which more teeth may need to be added on to the denture.
