This practice offers our patients an alternative denture to the traditional acrylic denture. This metal (chrome cobalt) denture has the following advantages over traditional acrylic dentures:
- Stronger and therefore generally longer life
- Lighter and therefore it normally feels less "bulky"
- Gentler on the teeth and gums
The general result therefore is that the denture normally feels much more comfortable than an acrylic denture.
In situations when we have many back teeth missing on both sides it can still be difficult for a denture to stay in place. If the remaining teeth are strong it is possible to place crowns on some of the teeth, which the denture will attach into. A special lock is made into the crown, which the denture clicks into.
This provides a precision attachment for the denture and a very strong fit. This will give a tight fit similar to what we might expect from an implant retained denture.
