History of creation
Sandwich dentures were developed in Russia by a group of dental specialists from the Persona-Life clinic based on advanced modern technical solutions.
The name is derived from the features that combine several materials with different physical properties. This makes it possible to solve a wide range of problems characteristic of traditional overlay prostheses.
Such a prosthesis does not require the use of fixing paste and provides the best fit to the mucosa.
What is the price?
Prices for palateless dentures vary greatly depending on various factors. The cheapest - clasp dentures with clasp attachments - cost from 35,000 rubles for installation (for one upper removable denture without a palate). Next come clasp dentures with telescopic crowns - from 45,000 rubles, and the most expensive of the clasp ones - products with fasteners on attachments, their price starts from 55,000 rubles. Prosthetics using a Quadrotti product will cost at least 30,000 rubles. And the cost of installing the latest sandwich-type dentures without a palate is already significantly higher. Installing such a prosthesis on attachments will cost at least 55,000 rubles for one removable upper denture of teeth without a palate. Prosthetics for both jaws will cost from 100 thousand rubles - the cost is not the smallest, on the other hand, a complete removable denture without a palate on implants will cost even more.
The indicated prices for prostheses include consultation with a specialist, diagnostics, taking impressions, preparing supporting teeth for prosthetics, manufacturing, fitting, fitting and fixation of the prosthesis.
Note!
During treatment, you may need to spend on additional services - for example, removal of damaged teeth or implantation, if prosthetics cannot be performed without it. Discuss all possible nuances with your doctor in advance in order to adequately assess the situation and plan expenses.
Design Features
The “sandwich” is a dental invention without the disadvantages of conventional overdentures. Thanks to a frame made of high-strength materials, it is attached to the remaining teeth and leaves the hard palate free , while ensuring firmness and a tight fit.
The latter is achieved through the use of a substrate made of soft hypoallergenic material, which is capable of changing properties in accordance with changes occurring in the oral cavity.
A distinctive feature of the prosthesis is the presence of rigid and durable retainers that ensure engagement with the remaining teeth. This design is more reliable than traditional clasps and allows you to fasten the product well without the use of pastes.
In addition, the high tightness of the fastenings allows for effective fixation of the entire structure throughout the day, and also significantly simplifies maintenance procedures. Unlike conventional ones, the “Sandwich” denture is not so demanding on oral hygiene.
This type is optimal in terms of addiction and does not cause gag reflexes when used. This is achieved both due to the materials used and due to the absence of a covering part, since it is on the hard palate that most of the receptors that stimulate the gag reflex when they are overlapped are located.
What does a Sandwich denture look like?
This is a development of Russian dentists, which in terms of characteristics and patient reviews is in no way inferior to numerous European analogues. A sandwich prosthesis made of dense polymer completely follows the shape of the dental arch and covers the patient’s gums.
The removable structure is tightly fixed on the teeth and does not affect or irritate the palate. The backing of the prosthesis is made of elastic material, deformable, and adapts to any jaw shape.
Essentially, these are removable teeth that fill gaps in the dentition and are secured with rigid clasps. Such metal devices are fixed to the teeth remaining in the mouth, implanted implants or pulpless roots. The clasps are securely attached and prolong the wearing of the removable structure.
If the mouth is missing several adjacent teeth at once, the patient is fitted with a sandwich dental bridge, which fills the large gaps in the jaw. Indistinguishable from natural teeth.

Indications
Indications for use are as follows:
- loss of a large number of teeth;
- difficulties using clasp dentures (including gag reflex);
- the possibility of using prostheses for bruxism, epilepsy and other diseases for which wearing traditional designs is contraindicated.

Other types of prosthetics for supporting teeth
Let's consider what other options are available for almost complete loss of teeth. The most popular is the clasp one, known in two modifications: with clasps and with locks. Nowadays, clasp dentures with clasps (metal hooks that cling to supporting teeth) are practically not used due to the fact that, regardless of location, the hooks are visible in the mouth, which looks very unaesthetic. Therefore, a new type of such prosthesis was developed - with locks. There are three options for attaching to teeth:
- Telescopic. Special cone-shaped crowns are installed on the supporting teeth, then a prosthesis with a special fastening is put on them.
- Conventional fastening is carried out on crowns, for the installation of which it is necessary to grind down the teeth.
- The attachment type involves installing a locking connection element directly into the abutment tooth without any preliminary preparation. This type of fastening looks the most natural. In essence, it is similar to the sandwich prosthesis technology, but due to the complexity of working out the entire structure, it is much more expensive.
A locking connection is a more modern way of fixing a clasp denture.
The main advantage of such a product is that it allows you to distribute the chewing load as evenly as possible on all the teeth in the mouth. Thus, this helps to maintain healthy teeth, because the natural structure of the jaw is preserved as much as possible with such a prosthesis. In addition, they are very convenient to use because when they are removed and installed, they do not touch the gums and do not have a destructive effect on tooth enamel. The clasp prosthesis does not affect the sense of taste in any way and does not interfere with diction. Disadvantage: any clasp product is several times more expensive than a sandwich prosthesis.
Advantages
The design has a number of advantages. These include:
- There is no need to grind teeth that serve as support.
- Ensuring tight fixation in the patient’s mouth, due to the characteristics of the device. At the same time, the prosthesis does not use additional fixing elements that are visible to prying eyes. There is also no need to use adhesives.
- High speed (on average, two visits to the dental clinic are enough to create).
- There is no need to make a new model due to changes occurring in the oral cavity. The Sandwich prosthesis is easily adjusted , and its repair is very simple and quick.
In addition, the presence of soft connections with the mucosa allows you to adapt to changes without losing a reliable fit. - Long life of at least 10 years.
- High level wearing comfort Due to the fact that the prosthesis does not cover the palate, it does not affect diction and does not change the taste perception when eating. In addition, the prosthesis does not require removal during sleep, and removal can only be performed to perform hygienic procedures.
- High elasticity at the level of nylon prostheses.
Along with the above, the “Sandwich” denture has another significant advantage - food debris does not get clogged . This is achieved due to the presence of additional soft covering elements covering the mucous membrane from the sides.
This effect is ensured by a tight fit and the use of elastic compounds in places of contact with the mucosa, which create good adhesion and prevent contamination of the cavity under the prosthesis.
What is this new thing - “sandwich prosthesis”? Pros and cons of the model, in which cases installation is indicated
A removable denture allows you to restore the appearance of your smile and the functionality of your dentofacial apparatus, but wearing it usually involves some inconvenience. Thus, most models rub the soft tissues of the oral cavity, provoke inflammation of the mucous membrane and allergic reactions, quickly become loose, making it impossible to secure them firmly in the mouth, and there is a risk of the structure falling out at the most inopportune moment. The sandwich prosthesis is a relatively new development of Russian specialists, who managed to eliminate most of the disadvantages inherent in conventional removable devices. Today we’ll talk in detail about what the design is, what its distinctive features, advantages and disadvantages are.
Flaws
Despite the large number of advantages, the number of disadvantages is much smaller. These include just a few factors:
- the prosthesis cannot be used if there are diseases of the oral cavity;
- it is necessary to have several natural teeth or the possibility of installing implants must be present, since support is required for fixation in the oral cavity.
- has sufficient rigidity only with a high level of fixation.
How to care
Caring for such dentures is much easier than other removable structures. They can be removed only for simple hygiene procedures - ideally once or twice a day, that is, the same as when caring for your own teeth.
The care procedure is as follows: using a regular toothbrush, you need to clean the structure from plaque, which causes inflammatory processes in the oral cavity. For better care, there are special effervescent disinfectant tablets that are used 2-3 times a week.

Installation
The manufacturing and installation technology is as simple as possible for the patient. Initially, the doctor examines the oral cavity, treats the remaining teeth that should perform a load-bearing function, and makes an impression. By the second visit to a specialist, the prosthesis is ready.
Of course, installation in two visits provides for the absence of complex operations associated with the treatment of existing teeth. Otherwise, first of all, a panoramic photograph of the jaws is taken, after which the doctor assesses the condition of the teeth and carries out the necessary treatment.
Also, if there are diseases of the oral cavity, a specialist can prescribe a course of medications designed to strengthen the mucous membrane and prepare it for the installation of a prosthesis.
Despite its apparent simplicity, installing a prosthesis has a number of features that you should be aware of. If one or more teeth are missing, the doctor considers the possibility of installing implants, which, after fixing the crown, will begin to perform load-bearing functions.
There are situations when instead of a complete load-bearing tooth (one or all) there are only roots. In this case, the doctor prepares them , depulps them (if necessary) and installs the fastener on which the crown is mounted.
In this way, the tooth is restored , which can already play the role of a load-bearing one during the installation of the prosthesis.
In some cases, a similar procedure has to be performed on most load-bearing teeth, which complicates the preparatory work for installation and requires additional dental operations.

Manufacturing of prostheses
The cost of a new generation of removable dentures, as a rule, exceeds the cost of standard models, which is due to the use of patented technology that requires special medical qualifications. During the first visit to the clinic, a comprehensive examination is carried out, during which possible contraindications are identified, and the current condition of the jaw is assessed. The procedure involves radiography and panoramic photography, which is determined by the need to form a complete clinical picture.
Detection of pathological processes means the need for additional treatment of the oral cavity. Only after the dentist recognizes the condition of the periodontium and the remaining elements of the dentition as suitable for prosthetics, a cast of the jaw is formed, repeating the features of the anatomical structure. The resulting prototype is transferred to a dental laboratory, where a removable denture is made based on it. When you return to the dentist, the design is tried on and adjusted, and the nuances of using the product are explained.
Life time
The Sandwich prosthesis has high mechanical strength, and the high-quality Italian-made materials used as its basis do not change their properties for a long time.
This combination of characteristics allows specialists to establish a warranty period for a structure of this type of 10 years from the date of manufacture.
In practice, the service life can significantly exceed the declared one, since the design of the prosthesis does not have a large number of elements that can break during use.
It must be said that the service life also directly depends on the quality of the preparatory work and treatment of the teeth, which play the role of load-bearing teeth. If these measures are carried out with a high level of quality, the overall service life increases significantly.
How to take care of new teeth after they are installed
There is no need to remove the sandwich denture while sleeping, but it should be removed from the mouth periodically for disinfection. For this purpose, you need to purchase a special product at the pharmacy, which is usually sold in the form of tablets for dissolution in water. From time to time you should make baths from this solution, where you should place an orthopedic device for 10-15 minutes.
Proper care also involves brushing your teeth and dentures twice with a toothbrush and toothpaste without abrasive particles that can damage the material of the structure. You should also rinse your mouth every time after eating and promptly visit the dentist’s office if pathological symptoms occur or discomfort occurs due to deformation of the prosthesis.

Price
The cost of the denture itself averages 45 thousand rubles . However, this price is not final due to the fact that its installation can only be done on healthy teeth.
This means that the cost of installation will include the price for treating supporting teeth, creating a panoramic image of the oral cavity and other preparatory operations. The amount can increase to approximately 60 thousand if there is no need to install implants.
What kind of soft removable dentures without a palate are better to install in case of complete absence of teeth?
Complete edentia can result from oral diseases, improper treatment, or congenital pathologies. This problem can be solved with the help of removable prosthetics. The structures can be attached to the gums using a vacuum or fixed on implants. The second method is much more reliable and more convenient for the patient, but is not always used due to the high price and presence of contraindications.
dentures and Acry-Free are preferred They attach well to the oral cavity due to their tight fit to the gums.

What satisfied consumers say
“I had the opportunity to try different prostheses on myself, and last time my friends suggested that I go to a clinic where they install so-called sandwich structures. I decided to experiment, and did not regret my choice at all. In terms of comfort and convenience, this is the best I've come across. Any prosthesis takes some time to get used to, but here it immediately fit like a glove and didn’t rub anywhere.”
Maslov R.D., 54 years old, Moscow, from correspondence on a thematic forum
“I’m now raising money for implantation, but for now I had to install a removable denture. I spent a long time choosing a model, consulting with friends, and ultimately chose the sandwich model. What can I say from myself: adaptation took literally days, I didn’t notice any speech disturbances, or any problems with eating. The new teeth look very natural, and if you don’t look closely, you can’t tell the difference at all. I give this sandwich a solid ten. I’m very glad that I chose him.”
