What are ROE's Traditional Dentures and who are they best suited for?
ROE's Traditional Dentures are full (complete) dentures fabricated using time-tested materials and techniques, then hand-finished by skilled dental technicians who add individual artistic interpretation and personalized characterizations to each case.
Where ROE's digital dentures (Ivotion and IMPACT) prioritize speed, repeatability, and fewer appointments, the traditional line is built around craftsmanship, customization, and maximum flexibility during fabrication — making it ROE's recommendation when your focus is high strength and exceptional esthetics.
A central advantage of the traditional approach is that the case is not locked in until the patient has previewed it. Mid-process adjustments are possible based on try-in evaluations and direct patient feedback, which is especially valuable for difficult anatomical situations or cosmetically demanding patients. Each denture can also receive unique surface textures, custom staining, and individualized features that are difficult to replicate at scale.
Within ROE's broader full-denture collection, the company frames the decision this way: if your priority is the latest technology, fewer visits, and a reusable digital record, the digital dentures are the path; if your priority is the highest level of esthetic customization and hand-detailing, traditional dentures are the answer.
ROE has more than 40 years of experience in traditional removable dentures and has fabricated over 200,000 dentures (across traditional, digital, and partial designs) in the past decade, including over 44,000 traditional dentures in the past nine years.
ROE offers the traditional line in three configurations, each detailed in its own article:
| Configuration | Best for | Base material | Teeth |
|---|---|---|---|
| Premium Traditional | Highest esthetic demand; cosmetic cases | Ivocap-processed acrylic | Premium acrylic teeth |
| Value (Economy) Traditional | Cost-conscious cases needing strong customization | Ivocap-processed acrylic | Value acrylic teeth |
| Hypoallergenic Traditional | Patients with acrylic allergies/sensitivities | TCS® Karadent™ resin | Premium or value acrylic teeth |
Primary applications for the traditional line include:
- Single and double arch (full) dentures
- Patients with high esthetic demand
- Implant conversions
- Cases that benefit from chairside or in-lab relines
- Duplicates and immediates — with one important caveat (see note below)
- Complex cases requiring specialized techniques and mid-course flexibility
Important note on duplicates: A traditional denture can be used as a record for a duplicate, but the returned duplicate denture will be fabricated digitally by ROE. This is a workflow detail worth communicating to patients who expect a like-for-like remake.
