Removable dental prosthetics abroad at Asensio Advanced Dentistry in Valencia includes the full range of partial and complete removable dentures — acrylic, metallic and implant-retained — at significantly lower cost than UK private treatment. Dr. Lucía Asensio Romero, specialist in restorative dentistry, designs and fits removable prosthetics as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that considers aesthetics, function and long-term oral health.
Removable prosthetics are devices the patient can take in and out — unlike fixed prostheses which are permanently cemented. They are used when insufficient teeth remain to support a fixed bridge, or as a transitional solution pending implant treatment. For patients with no remaining teeth, an All-on-4 fixed implant solution from £6,480 offers a more stable long-term alternative.
The first consultation is completely free. Call us on 0800 048 8058 or email office@dentalasensio.co.uk to book.
Types of removable prosthetics at Asensio
| Type | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic partial denture | Transitional solution — multiple missing teeth, some natural teeth remaining | Immediate (same day as extractions) or deferred (after healing) |
| Metallic partial denture | Long-term partial replacement — more stable than acrylic, clips to remaining teeth | Cast metal framework with acrylic resin teeth and gum sections |
| Complete removable denture | No remaining teeth — full upper, lower or both arches | Mucosa-supported — stability depends on ridge anatomy |
| Implant-retained overdenture | Improved stability for complete denture patients — clips onto implants | See dental implants abroad for implant options |
Removable prosthetics vs fixed alternatives
| Factor | Removable denture | Fixed bridge or implant |
|---|---|---|
| Removable by patient | Yes | No |
| Bone preservation | No — bone loss continues | Yes (implant) — stimulates bone |
| Stability | Moderate — depends on ridge | High — fixed in place |
| Treatment time | 2–3 visits | Longer — osseointegration required for implants |
| Best for | Transitional use, medical contraindications to surgery, budget constraints | Long-term permanent solution |
Frequently asked questions
How long does a removable denture last?
Removable dentures at Asensio carry a guarantee covering manufacturing defects. With proper care, partial metallic dentures typically last 5–10 years. Complete acrylic dentures may require relining or replacement every 5–7 years as the jaw ridge changes shape over time.
Is a removable denture uncomfortable?
There is an adjustment period of a few weeks while the mouth adapts to a new denture. Immediate dentures (placed the same day as extractions) require more adjustment as the ridge heals and changes shape. Follow-up appointments for adjustments are included in the treatment plan.
Can I upgrade from a removable denture to implants later?
Yes. Many patients start with a removable denture as a transitional solution and later upgrade to dental implants abroad or an All-on-4 fixed solution. We plan for this possibility from the outset where appropriate.
