Chrome Partial Dentures: What are the Benefits and Costs? | Sunshine Coast
Metal Partial Dentures
Chrome or Metal partial dentures are the more durable and long-lasting solution to missing teeth. We make a lot of metal dentures for our patients. We use the highest quality products and materials that we have sourced from all over the world.
At All Smiles Denture Clinic, we highly recommend getting Chrome partial dentures to our patients because of the following reasons:
Chrome dentures are more durable and long-lasting compared to acrylic dentures.
Metal dentures are thinner and lighter in the palate.
Chrome partial dentures have a better fit and because the metal alloy is so strong, they are less prone to breaking.
What Are Chrome or Metal Dentures?
Chrome partial dentures are also known as metal dentures because it is made out of metal alloy, which is known for its strength and elasticity. The metals are cast into a framework that fits around your natural teeth.
What are the benefits of Chrome Dentures?
There's a long list of benefits of Chrome dentures- that’s why we highly recommend it to our dental patients!
Chrome partial dentures are known for superior strength and accurate fit.
Chrome dentures have a smaller surface area compared to acrylic or traditional dentures, making them feel smaller and lighter in your mouth.
Acrylic dentures are generally a bit thicker and larger, they are not quite as strong as Chrome or metal dentures.
Chrome dentures have high thermal conductivity, which allows you to have better sensitivity to food and beverage temperatures. With chrome dentures, you will have a more natural eating experience.
Chrome dentures are generally known for having an accurate fit.
It is less likely to gather food particles because of the accurate fit, and therefore, less chance of having bacterial buildup.
Chrome dentures have metal clasps that anchor the denture to your natural teeth. With this, you no longer have to worry about dentures moving around your mouth.
Chrome dentures can be repaired in All Smiles Denture Clinic and not all dental prosthetists can do that!
