Smile Types of dentures

Thank you for your post.

There are several different types of dentures available these days that may be suitable for your case.

Classically, we still have the acrylic denture which is probably the one you already have. Its a good denture to add teeth to in future and reasonably cheap to make.

Then we have the cobalt chrome metal denture which is thinner than the acrylic denture and doesn't need to cover the roof of the mouth. So in the case of the upper denture, allows you to taste your food more than the acrylic denture.

We also now have the Valplast denture which moulds itself around the soft and hard tissues of the jaw and provides excellent retention. This one is probably the most expensive denture type.
