Restoration of chewing function without compromising dental aesthetics.

With a custom removable denture tailored to your individual needs, you can bite, chew, and show off your beautiful teeth with a natural, confident smile. The term ‘removable dentures’ refers to all prosthetic devices that replace missing natural teeth and can be removed from the oral cavity by the patient. Removable dentures represent an effective long-term solution for restoring both function and dental aesthetics.

Main features of a cast metal removable partial denture.

A cast metal removable partial denture is a particular type of dental prosthesis, consisting of a plastic base with attached artificial teeth, designed to look natural and barely noticeable in your mouth. A prosthetic denture is made of a metal base covered with acrylic, with artificial teeth attached to it. The denture stays in place with special clasps that attach to the supporting teeth, making it more comfortable for the patient. In a metal or plastic partial denture, the framework takes care of retention and spreads the chewing forces across the gums and oral tissues.

Cast metal removable partial dentures
vs. dental implants

Undoubtedly, cast metal removable partial dentures are the optimal choice among removable prostheses. Nevertheless, specialists at Masych Clinic prefer implant placement, and we will explain why.

  1. A cast metal removable partial denture must attach to supporting teeth. This requires a minimum of six teeth, which the dentist contours with metal-ceramic crowns so the denture stays in place firmly.
  2. Over time, the areas under your denture can shrink and change shape. So, the denture needs to be relined every year and the polyurethane supports replaced.
  3. If the denture becomes defective, it cannot be repaired. A new denture must be made along with a new supporting bridge.
  4. As with any removable denture, a cast metal removable partial denture requires a period of adaptation. It might take a few weeks and sometimes needs extra adjustments. Patients must get used to chewing with the new teeth, which can temporarily irritate the gums. Sufficient time is needed for the gums to calm, pain to diminish, and for the denture to fit comfortably without rubbing.
  5. Hygiene challenges in the area of the abutment bridge can result in the development of periodontitis and eventual loss of the supporting bridge.
  6. The cost of a cast metal removable partial denture is relatively high due to the use of specialized expensive framework metal and materials that closely replicate natural teeth and gums, as well as a sophisticated laboratory manufacturing process.
  7. Can trigger an allergic reaction to metal in patients with metal sensitivity.

Rest assured, that no matter how challenging the condition of your teeth and oral cavity may be, the specialists at Masych Clinic will always offer the best solution, based on extensive experience, scientific expertise, and the testimonials of hundreds of grateful patients.
