What is clasp dentures?
Clasp dentures are one of the options for removable dentures and a worthy alternative when bridges or implants cannot be installed. The distinctive feature of these dentures is the presence of a metal framework or clasp that rests on the palate if the denture is for the upper jaw, or under the lower teeth in the case of a denture for the lower jaw.
Clasp dentures are usually made with a combination of metal, acetal, and plastic materials. The most commonly used type of clasp dentures is made with a metal framework of cobalt-chromium alloy in combination with plastic.
Indications for clasp denture placement include
- Partial absence of teeth in the upper and/or lower jaw when it is impossible to restore lost teeth with bridges or implants
- Clasp dentures are placed when two or more teeth are missing in a row, or when there is an end defect (when there is no second support for a bridge)
- Dentures can be installed in the front or lateral areas of the mouth
- When implants cannot be placed, clasp dentures are an alternative option for restoring chewing effectiveness.
Contraindications for installation of partial dentures with clasp retention
- intolerance to the components of the prosthesis: metal or acrylic
- insufficient number of remaining teeth (less than 4)
- mobility of remaining teeth of grade 2 or higher
- insufficient space for artificial teeth on the prosthesis (for example, when the teeth on the upper jaw protrude downwards to the contact with the gum on the lower jaw)
- individual contraindications (such as epilepsy or oncological diseases in the oral cavity)

How much does it cost to get a partial denture in Kyiv?
The most common and cost-effective type of partial denture is the one with cast metal clasps. The cost of the entire process includes several stages:
- Treatment of the teeth
- Production of the denture itself
In cases where there is no need for additional dental treatment, it is sufficient to take impressions and install the ready-made partial denture with clasp retention in the mouth.
For higher aesthetic demands, dentures with other types of retention, such as lock attachments or telescopic crowns, can be manufactured. These types of work are calculated individually in each case and require high professionalism from both the dentist and dental technician.

Reviews about iStomatolog
Що мене очікувало в центрі iStomatolog.
1. Відсутність очікування біля кабінету.
2. Відсутність зайвого. Персонал і лікарі тебе не обтяжують. Їх стільки, скільки має бути.
3. Без сумніву професіоналізм. Тебе вислухать, і обов'язково запропонують варіанти лікування. Що безцінно, це те, що тобі в першу чергу будуть пропонувати максимально зберегти свої зуби.
4. Відсутність бажання затягнути процес лікування на рік (якщо у тебе проблема не одного чи двох зубів). Головне, щоб дозволяли працювати ясна (їх стан).
5. Матеріали з якими працюють лікарі. Це виключно японський виробник.
І нарешті результат, який я навіть вже і не очікувала.
Лена, дякую тобі ВЕЛИЧЕЗНЕ за твою роботу. Тобі і твоїй команді.
Але тут працюють дуже відповідальні, приємні і турботливі професіонали! Дякую всій команді цієї стоматології, і окремо дякую моєму стоматологу Пекарському Віталію за прекрасну роботу. Тепер я і солодке їм без болі, і більше посміхаюсь ☺️
Я із задоволенням буду ходити тільки до вас 😊
Всі лікарі уважні, професійні, з щирою турботою про пацієнта. Запам'яталось, як мені років п'ять тому довго і терпляче спасали майже безнадійний зуб, зіпсований в іншій клініці — спасли, стоїть свій зуб, а міг би вже бути імплант.
Дуже рекомендую.
