Update to Acrylic Denture Shade Options

Starting the week of May 11, 2026, we’re upgrading our signature acrylic dentures with a new premium resin designed to deliver more natural aesthetics, stronger durability, and even greater consistency across every removable case.

As part of this update, we’re also simplifying our shade offering to a curated set of core shades that support the vast majority of clinical needs — making shade selection easier while maintaining beautiful, predictable results.

What to Expect

Beginning the week of May 11, 2026:

  • Some legacy shades will no longer be available for new signature acrylic denture orders
  • Existing orders will continue to be fulfilled exactly as originally submitted
  • Printed and milled dentures will continue to offer the full shade range

If you’ve used a previously available shade that is no longer offered, our team can help recommend the closest available alternative or discuss additional denture options that support your desired esthetic outcome.
