Quick answer

High-tech dentures - such as the Fibreforce system - use reinforced materials that resist the brittleness of standard acrylic resin, making them significantly less prone to breakage. They are also lighter and more comfortable, which can translate to longer daily wear time and a better quality of life. The modest increase in cost is generally offset by greater durability and comfort over the life of the denture.

If your previous denture has broken, it is not because it was not made properly, but likely because the acrylic resin used to make dentures is fragile. It can easily break from dropping or from the wear of chewing. The Fibreforce Denture is the high tech solution for full dentures available at our clinic.

Frequently Asked

Common Questions

  • Why do standard dentures break?

    Conventional dentures are made primarily from acrylic resin, which is inherently brittle. A single drop onto a hard surface - or repeated flexing from chewing forces - can crack or fracture the base. Reinforced high-tech materials are engineered to absorb and distribute these stresses more effectively.

  • What are the main benefits of Fibreforce-style dentures?

    The key advantages include greater strength and fracture resistance, reduced weight for improved comfort, and an esthetic result comparable to conventional dentures. Many patients find them easier to adapt to because the lighter material exerts less pressure on the gum tissue.

  • How much more do high-tech dentures cost than standard ones?

    The price difference varies depending on the specific materials and laboratory processes involved. In most cases the increase is moderate relative to the full cost of a new denture set. Ask at your consultation for a range specific to your treatment needs.

  • Are high-tech dentures suitable for everyone?

    Most patients are good candidates. Your denturist will review your bite, jaw structure, and lifestyle factors during the consultation to advise whether reinforced materials offer a meaningful benefit in your specific case.
