Partial Dentures in Tijuana
Dentures are made as a removable set, or they are supportable by implants. Either appliance will help you restore missing tooth functionality. The main difference between implanted dentures and traditional dentures, is that implanted dentures are much more stable.
There are 3 Types of Partial Dentures
RIGID ACRYLIC PARTIAL
It consists of replacement teeth attached to a pink base. The pink base is made to match the color of your gums. The rigid partial covers any empty spaces in your smile, and helps keep your remaining teeth in place.
MEGAFLEX FLEXIBLE PLASTIC PARTIAL
Metal partial dentures are usually recommended for patients who have strong teeth and healthy gums. They are more durable than plastic dentures and can be custom-made to fit your mouth perfectly. Metal partial dentures also tend to be more expensive than other types of partial dentures.
METAL ACRYLIC PARTIAL
MegaFlex dentures are a good option for patients who have sensitive gums or who have trouble wearing traditional dentures. They are also more comfortable to wear and can be custom-fit to your mouth.

Impressions, also known as molds, are taken of your mouth. Liquid stone is placed into the molds. When the stone hardens, we will get an impression of the patient’s mouth. It takes about 30 minutes for the liquid stone to harden. From these hardened molds, our lab technician fabricates what are called denture occlusal rims. The denture occlusal rims will register the exact distance between your upper and lower jaw. This is an essential measurement in order for PARTIALS to look esthetically right. All these procedures require the patient to be seen TWICE on the first visit with about one hour in between to allow ample time for the liquid stone to dry and the fabrication of the occlusal rims.
The impression of the patient’s mouth is filled with yellow liquid stone (yellow mold in top picture). Once the stone hardens, an occlusal rim made of pink wax is formed (pink structure in top picture).
The objective of the occlusal rims is to measure the distance between the upper and lower jaw.
The final step is to place the PARTIALS inside the patient’s mouth. As stated earlier, RIGID ACRYLIC PARTIALS can be made SAME-DAY, MEGAFLEX FLEXIBLE PLASTIC PARTIALS require 2 DAYS, and METAL ACRYLIC PARTIALS require 4 DAYS.
