Partial denture laboratory

Partial dentures shaped for a natural, well-integrated result

Support cases involving one or more missing teeth with laboratory-made acrylic or cobalt-chrome partial dentures planned around the design, material choice and clinical information supplied by your clinic.

For dental clinics, dentists and their practice teams.

Prescription-led design

Framework, clasp and tooth arrangements follow the approved design and records your clinic provides.

Material options

Acrylic and cobalt-chrome pathways allow the appliance to be matched to the requirements of the prescribed case.

Responsive case support

We raise questions when a model, bite, shade or design detail needs clarification before manufacture continues.

Options for varied case requirements

A practical removable solution, designed case by case

Cobalt-chrome frameworks

Metal frameworks are produced to the approved design, with planned major connectors, rests, clasps and acrylic saddle areas for the prescribed arch.

Acrylic partial dentures

Acrylic appliances provide a straightforward option where that material and design have been selected by the clinic, including appropriate wire components.

Case staging and finishing

Where the prescription calls for staged review, the case can progress through framework or tooth try-in stages before final processing and finishing.

Records that support manufacture

Clear case information helps the laboratory plan with confidence

Partial denture manufacture starts with accurate records. Complete information helps us interpret the intended path of insertion, tooth replacement, retention, occlusion and material requirements.

For best outcomes we require:

  • Accurate impressions or working models of the prescribed arch
  • Opposing-arch and bite records where relevant
  • Approved design instructions, including rests, clasps and major connectors
  • Tooth mould and tooth shade preferences
  • Relevant notes about existing or planned treatments
