Cobalt Chromium dentures use a full metal casting to support the replacement teeth, creating a strong and precise fit.

At Stourbridge Dental & Implant Clinic, we offer two distinct types of metal denture.
Standard metal dentures are designed to be in direct and constant contact with gums and the soft tissues of your mouth. They are made from a medically compatible metal alloy which is completely non allergenic.
With this type of denture, a thin layer of plastic is attached to the metal casting. This ensures that no metal comes into contact with the gums and soft tissue of the mouth. Both soft and hard plastics can be added to the denture. Soft plastic is the preferred option, but does need to be replaced annually.
Metal dentures are normally used for their superior strength over the plastic alternative. Sometimes a patient will require a narrow denture to be made; these are typically very weak and prone to breaking when plastic is used. Metal dentures provide the required structure and strength to make a comfortable and stable narrow denture.

Metal dentures are not right for every patient, but do offer many advantages if you are a suitable candidate. They have a precise fit with a very strong hold, making them very stable and comfortable. Metal dentures are more durable than the plastic alternatives and are the most hygienic denture available, if cared for correctly.
We are able to place clasps on metal dentures to help retain them, increasing the stability and grip. These can also be tightened easily, if necessary.
