Can A Partial Denture Be Made Into A


Full Denture?
When you have missing teeth, you may experience some problems, for instance, difficulties
while speaking and eating. You may also feel self-conscious and less confident to smile.
Dentures are appliances that are made to replace your lost teeth and restore appearance. You can
also decide to have them colored to resemble your teeth.

Types of Dentures
Complete dentures - These are used when a person has all teeth missing. They are made of a
colored plastic base to resemble the gum and support a full set of teeth.

Removable partial dentures are prostheses that replace one or more missing teeth, but not all
your natural teeth. They are either made of metal framework or plastic base or supported by the
natural teeth. However, a variety of materials have been developed to offer durable and flexible
alternatives. It can either be fixed or removable.

Can A Partial Denture Be Made Into A Full


Denture?
An existing removable partial denture can be changed into a complete denture through some
procedures. The transition may involve adding teeth or clasps to partials. We recommend
converting the RPD into complete dentures for someone who is missing most or all teeth.
Why We Choose To Convert the Dentures
Many people may have problems with prosthesis partials in their mouths. Partial dentures are
awkward at first.

Sometimes, food particles may settle between the gaps while eating, which would cause
discomfort and risk decay. This may necessitate the need for full dentures.

The results are advantageous since:

 Wearing these dentures allows you to speak with clarity


 They will enhance your smile
 It is cheaper than alternative options (mention those options)
 They will make your eating easier
 Supports face muscles
 Enhances appearance

In some scenarios, the dentist is required to add denture teeth, facial and lingual mandibles.

However, this is accomplished using:

1. The acrylic resin repair method

These acrylics are commonly self-curing. They are available in the form of powder and liquid.
Resins can be used to fill cracks, replace lost dentures, and make other repairs.

Instead of using crazy glues or super glues we use acrylic resin instead since it is intended for
dentists’ use. It is also the most durable and comfortable.

2. Auto polymerizing tooth-colored acrylic resin

This has more components compared to acrylic resin. It is composed of a polymer with a powder
form and a monomer in the form of a liquid. The two components are activated using a chemical
called dimethyl-p-toluidine. These secured materials are usually of higher residual monomer
contents. They are also of underweight. It is usually used as the base material in prosthesis.

3. Clear matrix template

Template clear is a lightweight denture, water clear, and visible throughout the fabrication
process. This enables the lab technician to confirm the amount of provisional material visually. A
clear matrix template is used in the anterior and posterior sections during conversion. No other
material could be better other than it since it is clear.
Caring For Your Complete Dentures after
Conversion
We recommend these dentures to be cleaned daily. This can be done through:

 Soaking them in cold water. Avoid placing them in hot water because they are damaged
 Placing them in a glass of denture cleaner
 You can also store them in a specialized adhesive gel
 Brush them
 Make sure that you remove the remaining adhesive daily

Why This Treatment Is Useful


 It’s cheap
 Lightweight
 Non-surgical
