Flexible vs. Acrylic vs. Nesbit Partial Dentures: Which Is Right for You?

All three replace missing teeth with a removable, custom-made partial built from your at-home impressions. The right choice depends on how many teeth you’re replacing, where they are, and whether you want metal clasps.

Flexible Partial Dentures

A flexible partial is a metal-free, removable denture that uses a flexible base instead of metal clasps. It’s lightweight and blends with your gums, which makes it a popular choice for people who don’t want visible metal. FixUrSmile flexible partials replace up to 6 teeth in a single partial: $315 for 1–3 teeth and $399 for up to 6 teeth.

Acrylic Partial Dentures

An acrylic partial has a rigid acrylic base with metal clasps that hold onto nearby teeth. It’s the most budget-friendly option and a common choice for a backup or everyday partial. Acrylic partials replace up to 6 teeth: $245 for 1–3 teeth and $295 for 4–6 teeth. Acrylic is breakable, so store and handle it carefully.

Nesbit Partial Dentures

A Nesbit is a small, one-sided partial made to replace a single missing tooth or two adjacent teeth. Ours is metal-free and priced at $260 for 1 or 2 teeth.

What About Night Guards and Retainers?

If you’re not replacing teeth, you may be looking for a custom night guard for grinding and clenching (from $297 per arch) or a clear teeth positioning retainer to hold your teeth in place after braces or aligners ($145 per arch).
