Acrylic VS Metal Partial Dentures: What's better?

There are two types of partial dentures: metal dentures (chromium dentures) and acrylic dentures (plastic dentures). In this short video, we will explain the difference between the two. Both types of dentures have advantages and disadvantages when it comes to price, comfort and durability. Whereas acrylic dentures cost less, metal partial dentures last longer and cover less surface in your mouth. At the end of the day, you decide which option you prefer.
At The Denture Clinic in Canberra, we provide both options. Visit us in our clinic in Phillip or Tuggeranong.

I told my dentist the acrylic upper partial required toxic adhesives to stay up. So he made a metal partial for me which lasted over ten years. And the metal retaining hooks were done in plastic and never damaged the abutment teeth.

❤Love, 🥰 this acrylic one I have on my lower jaw, just one tooth and one molar it 😊replaces. The upper and lower are snap-ins.

I'm a dental tech.for 51 years.Generally we recommend metal partials but in some cases if the posterior teeth have good lingual undercuts and an acrylic partial is made properly and is engaging these undercuts clasps are not necessary.

My top metal partial is scraping the back and the front part of my tongue and has made my tongue completely raw and I've only had it for a few days now and they said they could create it just 1more time... But they said the top partial come out looking the same.. I'm just curious if anyone else wants to talk partial if they're tongue feels completely raw and if they slur like a drunk all day long just like myself

What about a flexible thinner plastic .. the nylon type ?

❤This one is the upper one I have it replaces some also, of course. But it's got a circle in the middle making things feel slicker and nicer if you know what I mean maybe some crema with your strawberries sir😊

Yes, but doesn't the metal destroy the enamel?

I have plastic right now but I’m getting metal ones soon and I can wait

[annehopkins]

what happens when one is allergic to metals> as I found out when I got my partial, wasted money!

Hi doc!
Do the retaining hooks on the metal prosthesis damage the abutment teeth?
Do you eat well with it?
It's a good option?
Thanks!

Why does the acrylic(plastic) denture have to be that thick? I can see the need where the teeth are actually anchored in the material but why so thick further down? Metal dentures aren't used at all for complete denture are they?

[jamesdepugh]

Didn't explain well so I'm still confused

[gaylecheung]

Awesome I do love my upper and lower metal partial denture

[ericmccomb]

I was at a dentist today, & it looks like I'll be getting a bottom row denture. The dentist definitely said something about metal being part of the denture, he said the cost would be £800, would that be a fare price? How long does the procedure last from extractions to finally fitting of the denture.
Thanx.

Hey Doctor
I am missing one front teeth. I am using acrylic plastic denture. I am finding it very uncomfortable and therefore I cannot wear them. I am thinking about the metal partial denture- will this be better and more comfortable than the acrylic one to wear? If i lose bother teeth, could you add another denture to the metal? let me know. Thanks

Acrylic not plastic teh plastic is the flexible partial
