When Full Dentures Are Needed

Complete Tooth Loss: Full dentures are indicated when all natural teeth in either the upper or lower jaw (or both) are missing.
Severe Tooth Decay or Damage: If remaining teeth are severely decayed or damaged beyond repair, full dentures may be the best option for replacing them.

Gum Disease: Advanced gum disease that leads to tooth loss may necessitate the use of full dentures.
Cosmetic Reasons: Patients seeking to restore their smile and improve facial appearance after complete tooth loss may opt for full dentures.

Acrylic Resin Dentures

Made entirely from acrylic resin, these dentures are the most common type used. They are typically fabricated using a pink acrylic base that mimics the appearance of gum tissue and includes acrylic or plastic teeth.

Advantages

Affordability: Generally less expensive compared to other materials.
Adjustable: Easier to adjust and repair if necessary.
Aesthetic Appearance: Acrylic can be color-matched to blend with the natural gums and provide a pleasing look.

Disadvantages

Durability: Acrylic may wear out over time and can be prone to cracking or breaking.
Comfort: May feel bulkier compared to other materials.

Metal-Based Dentures

These dentures use a metal framework, often made from cobalt-chromium or titanium, combined with acrylic or plastic teeth and gums. The metal provides structural support and strength.

Advantages

Strength and Durability: The metal framework offers superior strength and resistance to wear and breakage.
Comfort: Typically allows for a thinner, more comfortable design.
Stability: Provides a stable fit and better retention due to the rigid framework.

Disadvantages

Cost: Generally more expensive due to the metal components.
Aesthetic Considerations: Metal components may be visible and affect the overall appearance.

Flexible Dentures

Made from flexible thermoplastic materials such as nylon, these dentures are designed to be more adaptable and comfortable. They can be more aesthetically pleasing as they often blend with the gum color.

Advantages

Comfort: Flexible materials provide a snug and comfortable fit that adapts well to changes in the mouth.
Aesthetics: Often less visible due to the material blending with the gums.
Durability: Resistant to breakage and can withstand regular use.

Disadvantages

Adjustability: May be more difficult to adjust or repair compared to other materials.
Cost: Often more expensive due to the material and manufacturing process.

Combination Dentures

These dentures combine metal frameworks with acrylic or flexible materials. The metal framework provides strength and support, while the acrylic or flexible materials offer aesthetic and comfort benefits.

Advantages

Balanced Performance: Offers a combination of strength, comfort, and aesthetics.
Customizable: Can be tailored to the patient’s specific needs and preferences.

Disadvantages

Complexity: More complex to fabricate, which can affect cost.
Cost: Typically more expensive due to the combination of materials and customization.
