Missing one or more teeth but not ready for implants? Acrylic partial dentures offer the fastest, most budget-friendly solution in Rancho Cucamonga. At Alta Loma Dental Care, we fabricate custom acrylic partials in our on-site lab — often in a single visit.
What Are Acrylic Partial Dentures?
Acrylic partial dentures (also called “removable partial dentures” or “flippers”) are made from high-grade dental acrylic resin (PMMA) with a gum-colored base and replacement teeth. Pink or metal clasps hook onto your remaining natural teeth for stability.
Perfect for:
- Temporary replacement while healing from extractions
- Budget-conscious patients
- Patients waiting for dental implants

Yes, but start soft foods; they flex under pressure, so avoid tough items initially. Most adapt in 1–2 weeks for normal chewing
