Piedras Negras Dental Clinic
Acrylic & flexible dentures
A well-made denture doesn't show, doesn't slip when you talk, and lets you eat with confidence. That's our standard.
Dentures replace several or all of your teeth. Acrylic dentures are the classic option: strong, repairable and affordable. Flexible dentures, made of thermoplastic materials, are lighter and more discreet — their gum-colored clasps make them nearly invisible.
The secret of a great denture is the fit: a custom prosthesis, with try-in visits and fine adjustments, feels stable and comfortable. Dr. Tokunaga has restored thousands of patients with dentures throughout her career.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions
Acrylic or flexible?
Flexible is ideal for partial dentures thanks to its comfort and discretion. Acrylic remains the best option for full dentures and the easiest to repair or adjust. We'll guide you based on your case.
Will I be able to eat everything?
After the adaptation period, the vast majority of foods. We start with soft foods, and within weeks chewing feels natural. Follow-up adjustments are part of the treatment.
How often should dentures be replaced?
About every 5–7 years, because gums and bone change over time and the fit is lost. Annual checkups let us adjust it and extend its life.
