Acrylic is a type of plastic material which is commonly used for partials and full dentures. It is easily moldable, making it suitable for dentures that require adjustments over time. These are popular removable restorations for mostly seniors because they match natural gums aesthetically in pink or dark options and allow dentists to make quick adjustments efficiently.
Our dental lab are often requested to fabricate acrylic full dentures. They can be from dentists' physical impressions or digital scans. Some doctors may ask to make wax try-in first, so they can try fitting and bite. Other doctors, however, will ask to go straight to finish even with digital scans: they might request to extract teeth in our lab. With some remaining teeth, it is easier to confirm bite relationship.
In this example of manufacturing the acrylic full denture, we use Vita acrylic teeth and Dentsply QC-20 acrylic base (you can ask to use Lucitone 199). We call this Premium full denture. Usually, we will use New Ace acrylic teeth from Yamahachi and Dentsply QC-20 acrylic base, so we can provide affordable full dentures.
