Metal plate partial dentures.

The nesbit removable partial denture is similar to a flipper and replaces teeth in a dental arch. It usually clips onto some of your natural teeth via metal clasps which hold it securely in place in your mouth. However if you get a flexible partial denture then the cost is often lower. A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth.

This is the sort of denture used when one or more teeth are missing but a number of natural teeth remain. Complete dentures are necessary when all your natural teeth are missing. You can actually use clasps on plastic dentures but they don t work nearly as well as the proper cobalt chrome ones that are placed in metal dentures. This is due to many reasons the main one being the type of metal.

There are two types of metal based dentures. A full denture means that we will take out all remaining teeth on that jaw. A partial denture is used when some natural teeth remain. A removable partial denture usually has replacement teeth attached to a metal or acrylic plastic base that matches the color of your gums.

Because the metal and plastic work together to form the clasps that hold the denture in place sore spots are less likely to occur. The partial denture will then snap onto the dental implant s that we place. A partial denture is designed to fill in the gaps left by 1 or more missing teeth. In metal dentures the clasps are made from cobalt chrome and are cast as part of the actual metal framework.

Partial dentures often have some form of clasp that attaches to your natural teeth and can easily be taken out of your mouth for cleaning or storing while you sleep. At aesthetic dental and denture clinic we offer two types of denture complete and partial. This procedure is usually done on the lower denture. For an implant assisted partial denture we will add 1 4 dental implants but usually just 1 2.

Metal free partial dentures are available. An alternative to either cast metal or plastic partial dentures is a combination of both materials 1. Depending on your needs your dentist will design a partial denture for you. It can easily be unclipped and removed.

A metal based denture is one in which a portion of the denture body is made of a substantial metal casting rather than all plastic acrylic resin. The cost of a metal free partial denture is roughly the same as a metal partial denture. The flexible dentures include things like duraflex and valplast. Our fees for the polymer metal free partial denture is 2400 and the flexible partial denture is 1500.

A partial denture may have a metal framework and clasps that connect to your teeth or they can have other connectors that are more natural looking.
