Precision, Semi-Precision, and Centric prosthesis

A solution tailored to every mouth, every need, and every budget

At Clinique de Denturologie Talbot, we believe that every patient deserves a denture that fits their needs perfectly—both in terms of comfort and functionality. That’s why we offer three types of removable prosthesis designed for different patient profiles and priorities: centric prosthesis, semi-precision prosthesis, and precision prosthesis.

Each of these options is made with the same commitment to quality in our on-site laboratory and based on a thorough assessment of your oral condition.
What varies? The level of refinement in adjustments, the materials used, the manufacturing process, and the overall experience. Here’s a complete guide to help you understand the differences.

Centric prosthesis: Functional Efficiency at an Affordable Price

Centric prosthesis are often the first option offered to patients looking for a simple and affordable dental replacement. They are especially suited for those with a more limited budget or those in need of a temporary solution—such as after an extraction or while awaiting implants.

Key features of centric prosthesis:

Fabricated using standard anatomical landmarks
Fewer measurement steps compared to other models
Basic materials providing acceptable functionality
Less precision in occlusion (how teeth meet together)

These prosthesis are designed to provide satisfactory chewing function and basic day-to-day comfort, though they may require more frequent adjustments over time.

Semi-Balanced prosthesis: A Natural Step Between Centric and Precision

Often overlooked, semi-balanced prosthesis are an ideal option for patients who want to move beyond the limitations of centric prosthesis but are not yet ready to invest in full precision. They offer moderate occlusal balance, better alignment of artificial teeth, and improved comfort. Less costly than high-end models, these prosthesis provide a valuable transitional solution for those considering a more customized restoration in the near future.

Semi-Precision prosthesis: The Balance Between Comfort and Accessibility

Semi-precision prosthesis are the perfect middle ground for those seeking enhanced comfort and durability without exceeding their budget. They feature:

Detailed impressions
Personalized recording of jaw movements
More accurate occlusal adjustments

These refinements lead to optimized chewing efficiency, better tissue adaptation, and a customized aesthetic. The result is a well-balanced combination of function, appearance, and long-term stability.

Balanced prosthesis: Enhanced Stability for Long-Lasting Comfort

Balanced prosthesis, considered by some as an advanced version of semi-precision or precision prosthesis (depending on how they are made), help distribute chewing forces more evenly thanks to bilateral occlusal harmonization.

They are especially suitable for patients with advanced bone resorption or a history of denture instability. This approach enhances the interaction between the denture and the gum tissue, reducing risks of irritation, tipping, or friction.

Precision prosthesis: Excellence Across the Board

Precision prosthesis represent the pinnacle of removable denture technology, combining comfort, aesthetics, and performance. Made with premium materials and following advanced protocols, they closely mimic the natural functions of the mouth.
Thanks to precise jaw movement recordings and individualized tooth positioning, they offer:

Perfect adaptation to the gums
Superior resistance to wear
Exceptional visual appearance

Recommended for active patients or those concerned with appearance, they deliver long-lasting comfort and a feel close to natural teeth.
These prosthesis feature multi-layered artificial teeth that replicate the texture, translucency, and shade of natural teeth, allowing full customization for a smile that harmonizes with your face and personality.

Full and Partial prosthesis: Removable Solutions for Every Situation

Depending on the number of missing teeth, we offer full prosthesis (replacing all teeth in an arch) or partial prosthesis designed to blend seamlessly with your remaining natural teeth.
Our removable prosthesis, whether full or partial, are crafted with premium-quality artificial teeth that offer both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Each solution is designed to:

Optimize gum contact
Ensure solid stability
Make daily adaptation easier

A Tailor-Made Approach, Powered by Our State-of-the-Art Laboratory

No matter which type of denture you choose, our in-house lab allows us to maintain rigorous quality control at every step. That means:

The Key Role of the Denturist in Choosing Your Denture

The denturist is your trusted partner throughout the design, fitting, and follow-up of your prosthesis.
With both clinical and technical expertise, they assess your gum condition, the position of any remaining teeth (if applicable), and your specific needs to recommend the best option. Their role is essential to ensure optimal fit and long-term comfort.
