Hybrid dentures

A method comprising:

• modifying a known upper denture to form a first modified upper denture by making holes in a gums section of the known upper denture, wherein the known upper denture includes a gums section made of a first material, a palate section, and a plurality of teeth, and wherein the first modified upper denture includes a gums section, a palate section, and a plurality of teeth;
• modifying a known lower denture to form a first modified lower denture by making holes in a gums section of the known lower denture, wherein the known lower denture includes a gums section made of the first material, and a plurality of teeth, and wherein the first modified lower denture includes a gums section, and a plurality of teeth;
• modifying the first modified upper denture by removing the palate section of the first modified upper denture to form a second modified upper denture, wherein the second modified upper denture includes a gums section and a plurality of teeth;
• trimming the second modified upper denture to form a third modified upper denture, wherein the third modified upper denture includes a gums section and a plurality of teeth;
• putting the third modified upper denture into a hard upper impression;
• putting the first modified lower denture into a hard lower impression;
• placing the third modified upper denture, while in the hard upper impression, into an artificial jaw articulator so that the third modified upper denture and hard upper impression act as an upper jaw;
• placing the first modified lower denture, while in the hard lower impression, into the artificial jaw articulator so that the first modified lower denture and the hard lower impression act as a lower jaw;
• applying wax to outer surfaces of the gums section of the third modified upper denture, and using additional wax to form a new palate section, thereby forming a fourth modified upper denture including a gums section covered with wax, a palate section made of wax, and a plurality of teeth;
• applying wax to outer surfaces of the gums section of the first modified lower denture thereby forming a second modified upper denture including a gums section covered with wax, and a plurality of teeth;
• putting the fourth modified upper denture and hard upper impression inside a first half of a first flask, and inserting wet plaster into the first half of the first flask so that the wet plaster in the first half of the first flask surrounds the hard upper impression;
• putting the second modified lower denture and hard lower impression inside a first half of a second flask, and inserting wet plaster into the first half of the second flask so that the wet plaster in the first half of the second flask surrounds the hard lower impression;
• after the plaster in the first half of the first flask dries, putting the second half of the first flask on top of the first half of the first flask, and pouring wet plaster on top of the fourth modified upper denture;
• after the plaster in the first half of the second flask dries, putting the second half of the second flask on top of the first half of the second flask, and pouring wet plaster on top of the second modified lower denture;
• after the plaster in the second half of the first flask has dried, applying heat to the first flask so that the wax of the fourth modified upper denture melts and further comprising removing the melted wax of the fourth modified upper denture to form a fifth modified upper denture having voids where the wax of the fourth modified upper denture was located;
• after the plaster in the second half of the second flask has dried, applying heat to the second flask, so that the wax of the second modified lower denture melts and further comprising removing the melted wax from the second modified lower denture to form a third modified lower denture having voids where the wax of the second modified lower denture was located;
• applying a gold and silicon mixture to the fifth modified upper denture to form a sixth modified upper denture having a gums section comprised of a mixture of gold and silicon covering the first material, wherein the first material differs from the mixture of gold and silicon, a palate section of the mixture of gold and silicon, and a plurality of teeth;
• applying the gold and silicon mixture to the third modified lower denture to form a fourth modified lower denture having a gums section comprised of a mixture of gold and silicon covering the first material, wherein the first material differs from the mixture of gold and silicon;
• and a plurality of teeth;
• removing the sixth modified upper denture from hardened plaster and trimming the sixth modified upper denture to form a final upper denture;
• and
• removing the fourth modified lower denture from hardened plaster and trimming the fourth modified lower denture to form a final lower denture.
