Removable dental restorations refer to dental appliances that can be taken out of the mouth for cleaning or maintenance. These restorations are designed to replace missing teeth or cover damaged teeth, restoring your smile’s aesthetics and functionality. Rotsaert Dental Laboratory’s Removable Restoration Type Chart information is provided below.

Examples of removable dental restorations include dentures and partial dentures. Dentures are prosthetic devices that replace all of the teeth on the upper or lower jaw. Partial dentures, on the other hand, replace one or several missing teeth and are designed to attach to the remaining natural teeth using metal clasps. 

Unlike fixed restorations, removable restorations can be taken out of the mouth for cleaning and maintenance, making them easier to care for. However, they may not be as stable as fixed restorations and may require periodic adjustments or replacements. Dentists can help determine which type of restoration is best suited for an individual needs and preferences.
