Custom Dentures and Dental Prostheses – Your New Smile at Skydent
Have you lost teeth and are you looking for a comfortable, natural-looking solution that lasts? At Skydent in Leiden we are happy to help you with a custom denture or full denture made to measure. Our specialist denturist provides expert care and uses modern techniques to craft a denture that fits you perfectly.
🦷 What is a denture?
A denture is a removable appliance that replaces missing teeth or molars. There are two types:
- Full denture – Replaces all the teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw.
- Partial denture – Used when you still have some of your own teeth.
A modern denture looks natural and feels comfortable while you talk, eat and smile.
⚙️ Types of dentures: acrylic and metal-framework
If you are missing only a few teeth, you can opt for a partial denture, also known as an acrylic denture or metal-framework denture.
- Acrylic denture: made of acrylic resin and resting on the gums.
- Metal-framework denture: made of metal and offering greater stability.
Both options help prevent your natural teeth from shifting and improve how your teeth work as well as how they look.
Your treatment plan:
- Consultation and assessment of your teeth
- Digital impression with a scanner
- Fitting a try-in denture
- Final placement of the denture
- Aftercare and adjustments if needed
