Metal Frame Dentures are removable dental prosthetics that restore missing teeth with the support of a custom-made metal framework. The core structure is usually created from cobalt-chromium alloy, which is strong, lightweight, and medically approved for long-term use. Onto this framework, artificial teeth made of acrylic or porcelain are carefully attached to replace natural teeth that have been lost. The design often includes small clasps that gently hold onto the remaining teeth, giving the dentures stability and preventing unwanted movement during speaking or chewing.

The dentist at our affiliated clinic designs metal frame dentures to match the exact shape of the gums, jaw, and bite of the patient. The framework is thinner compared to a full acrylic base, which makes the dentures feel less bulky inside the mouth. Because of the strength of the materials used, these dentures provide durability and resistance against breaking or warping. With proper care, they maintain their fit and function for almost 10 years. The combination of a precise fit, natural appearance of the artificial teeth, and a stable foundation makes this treatment a reliable choice for restoring confidence, function, and comfort in daily life.

Metal Frame Dentures begins by a consultation conducted with the dentist at our affiliated clinic. During this visit, the dentist performs a full evaluation of the teeth, gums, and overall oral health to determine the most suitable treatment plan. If tooth extraction is necessary, the removal is carried out first, followed by a healing period that usually takes about 4 weeks for the gums to recover. Once healing is complete, detailed impressions of the mouth are taken, which allow the dental laboratory to create a wax model that guides the design of the final dentures. This step is essential for achieving a comfortable bite, proper alignment, and natural-looking results.

The actual construction of the dentures involves creating a lightweight yet durable cobalt-chromium metal framework, which acts as the foundation for the artificial teeth. The dentist then arranges a trial fitting of a “try-in” denture, where adjustments are made until the correct shape, size, and appearance are achieved. After the adjustments, the final dentures are cast and polished before being fitted securely into the mouth. If tooth extraction is needed, then the entire treatment, from consultation to final fitting, usually requires several visits spread across 1 to 6 weeks.

In terms of benefits, Metal Frame Dentures provide a strong and stable bite, increased durability compared to acrylic options, and a thinner design that feels more comfortable. The downtime after fitting is minimal, although some soreness, irritation, or increased saliva flow may occur during the first 1 to 2 weeks as the mouth adapts. Most patients are able to speak normally within hours of placement and begin eating soft foods for 3 to 5 days, gradually returning to a normal diet. The long-term advantage is a highly durable and comfortable denture that maintains its shape and fit for almost 10 years.

Q4: Do Metal Frame Dentures need to be removed at night?
A4: Yes, it is recommended to remove Metal Frame Dentures at night. This allows the gums to rest and reduces pressure on the underlying bone. Keeping Metal Frame Dentures in water overnight also prevents them from drying out and losing shape.
