Complete Denture and Partial Laboratory Services in Utah

Peak Dental Studio’s denture laboratory in Utah provides complete and partial denture fabrication with an emphasis on superior fit, natural aesthetics, and patient comfort. Our experienced dental technicians combine traditional craftsmanship with modern materials and techniques, creating dentures that restore function and confidence for your patients.

From single-tooth partial dentures to full-arch complete dentures, our laboratory handles cases of all complexity levels. We work closely with dental practices to ensure each denture meets the functional and aesthetic requirements of individual patients, delivering results that keep patients satisfied and practices successful.

Full Denture Fabrication

Complete dentures represent one of the most challenging restorations in dentistry, requiring attention to aesthetics, phonetics, retention, and occlusal function. Peak Dental Studio’s full denture laboratory in Utah employs systematic fabrication processes that consistently deliver well-fitting, natural-looking dentures.

Our denture fabrication begins with careful evaluation of your case prescription and preliminary impressions. We create custom trays designed for optimal final impression accuracy, ensuring the tissue detail needed for superior denture retention and stability.

At try-in, we focus on tooth selection, arrangement, and occlusal scheme that suit each patient’s facial characteristics, age, and functional requirements. Our tooth arrangement follows proven principles of balance, aesthetics, and phonetics, creating dentures that look natural and function properly from the moment of insertion.

Processing uses high-quality denture base resins and proven laboratory techniques that minimize warpage and ensure dimensional accuracy. Each denture undergoes thorough finishing and polishing, creating smooth surfaces that enhance patient comfort and ease of cleaning.

Partial Denture Options and Frameworks

Partial dentures restore function and aesthetics for patients with some remaining natural teeth. Peak Dental Studio fabricates removable partial dentures with cast metal frameworks, flexible frameworks, and acrylic bases—each offering distinct advantages for different clinical situations.

Cast metal partial dentures with chrome-cobalt or titanium frameworks provide excellent strength, minimal bulk, and precise fit. Our laboratory designs metal frameworks that optimize retention, support, and stability while minimizing coverage of palatal or gingival tissue.

Framework design follows sound principles of removable partial prosthodontics, with proper rest seat preparation, guide plane utilization, and clasp design that provides retention without placing excessive force on abutment teeth. Survey lines guide clasp placement, ensuring optimal aesthetics and function.

Flexible Partial Dentures (Valplast)

Flexible partial dentures offer aesthetic advantages for patients who prefer restorations without visible metal clasps. Peak Dental Studio fabricates flexible partials using thermoplastic nylon materials that provide flexibility, strength, and natural appearance.

Valplast and similar flexible partial materials work particularly well for anterior replacements where aesthetics are critical. The material’s ability to blend with gingival tissue creates an invisible appearance that many patients appreciate, especially for social and professional interactions.

Our laboratory designs flexible partials with proper extension and thickness that balances flexibility with retention. While these restorations cannot provide the same level of support as cast metal frameworks, they offer excellent solutions for carefully selected cases where aesthetics take priority.

Immediate Dentures for Tooth Extraction Cases

Immediate dentures allow patients to avoid the social and functional challenges of going without teeth during the healing period following extractions. Peak Dental Studio fabricates immediate dentures using pre-extraction impressions and careful surgical planning with your practice.

Our immediate denture fabrication process includes careful tooth arrangement based on existing tooth positions, creating dentures that restore the patient’s familiar appearance while accommodating anticipated ridge resorption during healing.

We work with your surgical planning to ensure proper extraction timing and immediate denture delivery. Post-insertion instructions emphasize the need for relining or remake once healing completes, setting appropriate patient expectations from the outset.

Denture Materials and Aesthetics

Peak Dental Studio uses premium denture teeth from leading manufacturers, offering extensive shade and mold selections that match each patient’s age, facial characteristics, and aesthetic preferences. Our laboratory maintains inventory of both traditional and high-impact denture teeth for varied case requirements.

Denture base materials include standard heat-cure acrylic, high-impact acrylic, and flexible base materials. Each material offers specific advantages, and our team can help practices select optimal materials based on patient needs and clinical situations.

For patients with aesthetic concerns, we offer premium customization including custom shade characterization, gingival stippling, and fiber reinforcement. These enhancements create dentures with natural appearance and enhanced durability that justify premium case fees.

Our Denture Fabrication Process

Quality denture fabrication requires systematic processes and attention to detail at every step. Peak Dental Studio follows proven laboratory protocols that ensure consistent results and minimize the need for remakes or adjustments.

Our denture laboratory process includes thorough case evaluation, custom tray fabrication, try-in tooth arrangement, processing with quality materials, and extensive finishing and polishing. Each step receives careful attention from experienced technicians who understand how small details affect final results.

Quality control inspection occurs before every case ships, verifying occlusion, tooth arrangement, tissue adaptation, and finish quality. This final inspection catches potential issues before dentures reach your office, saving chair time and ensuring patient satisfaction.

Turnaround Times for Dentures and Partials

Standard turnaround time for complete denture cases is five business days from final impression receipt, allowing time for custom tray fabrication, try-in preparation, and processing. Partial dentures require similar timelines depending on framework complexity.

For immediate denture cases, we coordinate timing with your planned extractions, ensuring dentures arrive when needed for insertion. Rush processing is available when schedules require faster delivery.

Relines and repairs receive same-day or next-day service depending on the extent of work required. Our laboratory understands that denture emergencies need quick solutions, and we prioritize these cases appropriately.

Digital Denture Design Capabilities

Peak Dental Studio offers digital denture design and fabrication for practices interested in modern denture workflows. Digital dentures provide benefits including consistent quality, efficient processing, and easy duplication if replacement becomes necessary.

Our digital denture workflow accepts intraoral scans or digitized conventional impressions, providing flexibility in how you capture case information. Digital design allows virtual try-in capabilities, potentially reducing the number of patient appointments required.
