Metal Framed Dentures in Wibsey
Do your dentures feel bulky? Are they loose even after several repairs?
Are you worried that the acrylic dentures can break at any time? Then, metal dentures, or chrome cobalt dentures, designed to be long-lasting, best-fitting, and lightweight, can be an option for you. Designed with a strong metal framework for increased stability and strength, metal-framed dentures in Wibsey offer the best of both worlds—comfort and durability.
What are metal-framed dentures?
Metal dentures, or cast-metal dentures, whether partial or complete, are traditional removable dentures supported by a lightweight yet durable metal base. This base builds a solid foundation while remaining discreet and comfortable.
Metal-framed dentures use clasps or metal anchors to draw support from the gums and natural teeth, unlike conventional full acrylic dentures that depend on the gums. This provides unrivalled stability—a snug, secure fit that stays put while you talk, eat, and go about your day.
Also called chrome cobalt dentures, metal dentures are typically made from a combination of chrome cobalt alloy and acrylic, resulting in a strong yet lightweight, custom-fit denture plate.
Why choose metal framed dentures?
Modern metal-framed dentures differ significantly from their often bulky acrylic counterparts. Let us see how:
Lightweight, not bulky
Chrome dentures are lightweight and sleek, which enhances their comfort. Unlike bulkier alternatives, they are less noticeable in the mouth, allowing for faster adaptation and a more natural sensation. This could be a game changer for people who have severe gum loss and need larger acrylic dentures for stability.
Durable
Metal frame dentures are long-lasting, thanks to the base material, a chrome cobalt alloy. This material is durable, withstands the demands of daily use and remains functional for a long time.
Stable
Metal framework dentures usually do not warp as such and are not resistant to breakages. They are stable for many years and need fewer adjustments.
Precise fit
Durable metal dentures are meticulously designed to conform to the contours of your mouth, providing both comfort and a precise fit. This level of precision reduces the possibility of discomfort, soreness, ulcers, or dislocation while speaking or eating.
A better feel of hot and cold foods
Metals are the best conductors of heat and cold as compared to Metal frame dentures, allowing you to better feel the taste and temperature of foods.
Preserve oral health
High-quality metal dentures are carefully constructed to exert minimal force on your remaining natural teeth, thus preserving oral health. This reduces the likelihood of adjacent teeth shifting while keeping the bite aligned.
Are metal framed dentures right for you?
Metal-framed dentures are particularly well-suited for those who:
- Have some remaining natural teeth to support the denture. Partial metal dentures or cast partial dentures are a popular way to replace multiple missing teeth while preserving some natural teeth.
- You are looking for a more durable option to traditional acrylic dentures.
- Are you experiencing loose or uncomfortable dentures and want to improve their stability?
- Are you looking for a lightweight, yet long-lasting dental solution for severe gum loss?

Despite the difficulty, you can modify metal dentures to accommodate changes in your teeth or gums, ensuring a long-lasting and comfortable fit.
