Removable Prosthesis
Removable dental prostheses to restore your smile
What is a removable dental prosthesis?
A removable dental prosthesis, also known as a removable denture, is an artificial dental structure designed to replace lost natural teeth. It is composed of a pink acrylic base that imitates the gums and artificial resin or porcelain teeth that replace the missing teeth.
The removable prosthesis is held in place by a retention system, which can be through metal and/or aesthetic clasps that hook onto the remaining natural teeth, or through anchoring devices such as metal bars or dental implants. The prosthesis can be removed and replaced in the mouth for daily cleaning and maintenance.
This type of prosthesis is a common option when several teeth have been lost or when tooth loss is total. It provides an aesthetic and functional solution, allowing the patient to eat and speak more easily. However, removable prostheses may require an adaptation period and may be less stable than other dental prosthesis options, such as fixed dentures or dental implants.
What types of removable prostheses are there?
There are different types of removable dental prostheses, which include:
Complete or total prostheses
These prostheses replace all the teeth of the upper or lower dental arch, or both. They are held in place by suction and support on the gums and palate. These complete dentures can be conventional, manufactured after tooth extraction and tissue healing, or immediate, placed immediately after tooth extraction.
Removable partial prostheses
These prostheses are used when there are still some natural teeth remaining in the mouth. They are usually held by metal or aesthetic clasps that hook onto existing teeth, providing additional stability and support. Removable partial dentures can be made of acrylic and have a pink base to imitate the gums.
Overdentures
These prostheses are placed over remaining natural teeth or over dental implants. They provide greater stability and retention compared to conventional complete dentures. The additional support structure improves chewing ability and patient comfort.
It is important to note that the type of removable prosthesis recommended may vary according to the individual needs of the patient and the health of their oral tissues. It is essential to consult a dentist or dental prosthetist to determine which is the most appropriate option in each case.
The latest in removable dental prostheses: Innovations and Advanced Materials
The evolution in removable prostheses until 2023 brings us lighter and more durable materials, precision CAD/CAM technology, innovative retention systems, and implant-supported prostheses, thus offering a significant improvement in comfort and function for the patient.
Innovation
More advanced materials
Development of new high-tech polymers for prosthesis bases, superior in resistance, lightness, and aesthetics.
CAD/CAM Technology
Greater precision in the design and manufacture of removable prostheses thanks to the use of CAD/CAM technology.
Improved retention systems
New anchoring systems, magnets, and coupling devices for improved retention and stability.
Implant-supported prostheses
Use of dental implants for a more solid support of removable prostheses, improving chewing function and comfort.
Aesthetic clasps
Metal-free options in the posterior area to improve the aesthetics of the prosthesis.
These innovations reflect the focus on improving precision, efficiency, and customization in the field of removable dental prostheses.
What types of removable prostheses without clasps are there?
Removable dental prostheses without clasps are an aesthetic and discreet option to replace lost teeth.
Dental prostheses with invisible anchoring system
These prostheses use special anchoring systems that are placed inside the prosthesis and connect to existing teeth or dental implants.
- Anchoring systems: These anchoring systems can be magnets, bars, or precision attachments.
- Optimal retention: They provide optimal retention and stability without the need to use visible clasps.
Dental prostheses with cone system anchoring
This type of prosthesis uses a cone system that fits and locks in place on dental implants or abutments placed on natural teeth.
- Firm retention: They provide firm and stable retention without requiring visible metal clasps.
Dental prostheses on implants
Dental implants can be used as anchoring for removable prostheses.
- Secure anchoring: The implants are placed in the jaw or maxillary bone and then the prosthesis is placed on them.
- Natural appearance: They provide secure retention and a natural appearance without visible clasps.
These are just some examples of removable dental prostheses without clasps. It is important to consult a specialized dentist or dental prosthetist to evaluate your case and determine which is the best option for you, considering your specific needs and the health of your oral tissues.

What is the procedure for a removable prosthesis and how many appointments are necessary for the patient?
The elaboration of a removable dental prosthesis, also known as denture, involves several steps that include patient evaluation, taking impressions and records, prosthesis design, manufacturing, and final adjustments.
Patient evaluation
The first step is to examine the patient and evaluate their dental condition. The dentist will take a clinical history, examine existing teeth, and evaluate the health of oral tissues.
Taking impressions
The next step is to take impressions of the patient's mouth. This involves making precise molds of the oral structures to have an exact replica of the patient's mouth.
Records and measurements
In addition to impressions, additional records can be taken, such as the patient's bite relationship and the location of teeth in relation to facial tissues.
Prosthesis design
Using the impressions and records obtained, a dental technician or dental prosthetist will design the removable dental prosthesis.
Trial and adjustment
Once the prosthesis has been designed, an initial trial will be performed on the patient. This allows verifying the accuracy of fit, aesthetics, and function of the prosthesis.
Final manufacturing
After the trial and adjustments, the final manufacturing of the removable dental prosthesis proceeds.
Delivery and final adjustments
Once the prosthesis is ready, it will be delivered to the patient. The dentist will schedule a follow-up appointment to verify the final fit and make any necessary additional adjustments.
It is important to note that the process of making a removable dental prosthesis can vary according to the individual needs and circumstances of each patient, as well as the technology used by the dental laboratory. A qualified dentist or dental prosthetist will guide you through the entire process and provide the best personalized care for each case.
