Baseplate and Bite Rims for Accurate Jaw Records

Baseplate and bite rims are essential components in the denture fabrication process, used to record a patient’s vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) and centric relation before setting teeth. These foundational tools allow clinicians to capture accurate jaw relationships and esthetic parameters—setting the stage for well-fitting, comfortable dentures.

  • Baseplates are rigid, anatomical forms that sit on the patient’s arch, simulating the final denture’s base. Wax bite rims are added on top to allow for jaw relationship records, midline marking, smile line, and occlusal plane determination.

    They are a critical diagnostic tool used by dentists to:

    • Record vertical dimension

    • Capture centric relation

    • Establish tooth positioning and esthetics

    • Guide the setup of denture teeth

    Each set is custom-made to your impression and prescription, ensuring reliable, repeatable results in your prosthetic workflow.

  • Dentists rely on well-made baseplate and rims to eliminate guesswork during denture fabrication and improve patient satisfaction at delivery. Our lab ensures these records are as close to final as possible—minimizing chairside adjustments and remakes.

    Dentists choose our baseplate and rims because they offer:

    • Accurate Fit: Fabricated from patient-specific models

    • Stability: Rigid enough for repeatable jaw records

    • Easy Adjustability: Wax rims designed for modification and markings

    • Reliable Records: A smoother transition to wax try-ins or final setups

    Whether you’re prepping for full dentures or planning an implant-supported prosthesis, our high-quality bite registration tools help you get it right the first time.

  • To meet a variety of clinical needs, Denture Crafters offers customizable options for your records:

    • Material Choices: Light-cure or processed acrylic baseplates

    • Wax Rim Heights: Adjustable to match VDO preferences

    • Tooth Positioning: Midline, canines, and occlusal plane marked upon request

    • Arch Types: Upper, lower, or both arches available

    We tailor each order to your specifications, so you get dependable records every time.

  • Inaccurate records can lead to poor fit, occlusal issues, or full remakes. That’s why high-quality baseplate and rims are vital for successful removable prosthetics.

    • Baseplates seat fully with no rocking or voids

    • Wax is easy to contour, warm, and mark

    • Rims maintain shape through handling and transport
