PARTIAL DENTURES
Partial Dentures in Auckland and Waiheke Island
If you’re missing some of your natural teeth but still have others remaining, partial dentures can restore both function and confidence. At Clinical Smiles Denture Clinic, we design custom partial dentures for people across Auckland and Waiheke Island — ensuring a comfortable fit, natural appearance, and improved chewing and speaking ability.
We offer a range of partial denture options to suit different needs, budgets, and lifestyles. Our goal is to help you regain your smile and quality of life
What Are Partial Dentures?
Unlike full dentures, partial dentures are removable dental prosthetics that replace one or more missing teeth while preserving your remaining natural teeth. They help to:
Fill gaps from missing teeth
Prevent shifting of surrounding teeth
Improve chewing and speech function
Support a natural, confident smile
Each partial denture is custom-made to the unique contours of the mouth, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit.
Types of Partial Dentures We Provide
Partial dentures can be classified based on the materials used in their fabrication, each offering distinct advantages tailored to individual needs.
The choice of partial denture material depends on various factors, including budget, aesthetic preferences, oral health, and the specific requirements of the patient. It is best to consult with a dental professional to determine the most suitable option for your needs.
Acrylic Partial Dentures
From $1,000
Acrylic partial dentures are an excellent solution for individuals who have lost some of their natural teeth. These dentures are designed to blend seamlessly with your remaining teeth, providing a natural appearance while offering functional support for your bite.
One of the key benefits of acrylic partial dentures is their lightweight and comfortable design. Made from a durable acrylic material, they are easy to adjust and can be customized to fit your mouth perfectly. This ensures that you can wear them comfortably throughout the day, whether you're eating, speaking, or simply smiling.
Acrylic partial dentures are typically more affordable than other denture types, however they may not be as strong.
Metal Partial Dentures
From $2,000
Metal partial dentures, commonly made from chrome-cobalt or titanium, are designed for strength, durability, and comfort. Their thin, rigid frames provide a secure fit and are often more comfortable than acrylic alternatives. The metal base is combined with acrylic or other materials to create a natural-looking appearance.
One of the main advantages of metal partials is their lightweight design, which makes them easy to wear. The rigid metal framework allows for a precise fit, reducing movement during speech and eating, and improving overall functionality.
Metal frame dentures are also known for their longevity. They resist wear and tear over time, making them a cost-effective choice, especially with regular check-ups and maintenance to extend their lifespan.
Valplast (Flexible) Dentures
From $1,300
Valplast dentures are crafted from a flexible nylon type material, making them a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing option. These partial dentures adapt well to the natural contours of the mouth and are less likely to break. They are an ideal option for individuals seeking relief from rigid denture styles.
Some of the primary benefits of Valplast dentures are their lightweight and flexibility qualities.
Another significant advantage is their durability. Valplast dentures are resistant to breakage and less likely to warp over time, ensuring a long-lasting fit.

Each visit plays an important role, allowing us to assess fit, function, and aesthetics at every stage. This ensures your final denture is personalised to you and adjusted with precision.
Appointment numbers may vary slightly depending on your individual needs, but our focus is always on delivering a result that feels natural, secure, and comfortable.
