Cold-cured poured dentures are a type of denture that is made by pouring a special acrylic into a flask or container that contained a wax copy of a patient’s finished teeth.
The wax is boiled out of the flask and the acrylic is poured into the space that was occupied by the wax. It flows and hardens into the shape of the patient’s finished teeth.
The teeth may be hand painted in the lab to look more natural. Even though they may be hand painted they are the least esthetic looking of all types of dentures due to the limitations of the materials.
Cold cured teeth are the softest and tend to wear down very quickly. They easily pick up stains from food and drinks.
They are usually made when finances are very limited.
