Dentures are used to replace missing teeth; Acrylic Dentures can replace any number of missing teeth. It’s worth noting however that acrylic dentures can be a little cumbersome and oral hygiene can often be more difficult. If a patients teeth are generally in poor condition or if they have very few natural teeth remaining, Acrylic Dentures are often the treatment of choice. Also, if several teeth need replacing, Acrylic dentures can be used.
Flexible dentures are usually made of thin thermoplastics (e.g. nylon), as compared to the thicker and often more rigid acrylic used in Acrylic Dentures. Patients often find Flexible Dentures a more comfortable fit than other removable dentures, especially so if the patient is still relatively new to wearing dentures. It is ideal for patients who have lost several but not all of their teeth.
