Metal Base Dentures

in Solihull

Comfortable Teeth
Replacement

The denture is a prosthetic device made to replace missing teeth. They are also commonly known as false teeth. They are supported by the gums and any remaining teeth. If complete dentures are used when there are no teeth in the mouth, dental implant surgery may be required for stability. If there are some teeth left, dentures can be bonded or clasped onto them.

Dentures can be complete or partial. When people lose teeth, it is important both medically and aesthetically that they use a replacement. To avoid medical complications in the long run, such as shifting of teeth surrounding the extracted teeth and/or jawbone alterations, dentures must be worn after an extraction. Dentures are also used to improve chewing ability after the removal of a number of teeth.

Brilliant , professional, competent & thoroughly deserved of a Top rate review. I have had a denture implant which is so comfortable & looks just stunning. The care and precision taken by Dr Faresh Desai, his wonderful team & technicians has been outstanding. Now I am having crowns & a partial denture so am qualified to leave a 5 Star plus review. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Metal Base Dentures

A metal denture is made with substantial metal casting instead of plastic. The various types of dentures are standard and modified metal based dentures. Standard metal dentures are the ones in which a portion of the denture is in direct contact with the soft tissues of the gums. This denture is made of a medically compatible metal alloy. Such metals are non-allergic.

The modified denture base is made of metal but does not have a metal material in direct contact with the gum tissues, as it is preferred not to have metal in direct contact with the gums. Therefore, an important modification in standard form has been done by interposing a plastic liner between the supporting tissue and the metal body of the denture. Soft and hard plastic can be used. However, soft is the preferred option. The only drawback with that is it has to be redone annually.

When to Use
Metal Dentures

Sometimes there is a requirement to make a narrow denture. The narrow dentures are weak if they are made from plastic and they tend to break very easily. In such situations metal dentures provide the best solution. The metal base provides the required strength. It is more suited for the lower jaw. With the loss of teeth the jaw tends to lose weight. A heavy denture is stable and is also comfortable for the patient.

I discovered the one clinic whilst searching periodontal treatments in my area on google…I felt no pain just a small amount of discomfort, he reassured me throughout in a professional and caring manner….The caring and considerate attitude of all involved showed that they cared for my dental health past present and future. I asked about future treatments, and DR Nissen advised me according to my needs .At no point, did I feel that the costs involved were the main aim but that his genuine concern was to help me gain control of my dental health.

Incredible customer service, a consistently professional team that manage your cosmetic dentistry course and all its aspects. I put off my improvements for years because of horror stories I had heard about cosmetic outcomes, but delighted I picked Ascent Dental Care Solihull to finally manage my treatment. So a big thank you to Laura the cosmetic dentician and Rose for holding my hand proverbaly as I went through my course. A special mention for Laura’s supporting technicians and the reception staff, an excellent team full stop.

I have just finished my treatment with Ascent Dental after 6 months of having Lingual braces to adjust crowding in my upper teeth. I have been very impressed with the service given to me, and would thoroughly recommend the practice to anyone looking to improve their smile. Dr Gursh Bajwa made the treatment comfortable, yet effective, and I am very happy with the results. I would like to thank all the staff at Ascent Dental for the high level of care and service they have given me.

I have been using Ascent Dental for the 3 years, during that time I have had a range of treatments including fillings, an extraction under sedation, Damon braces, teeth whitening and contouring. I was a very nervous patient, but the team have been supportive and understanding and for the first time in my life I don’t dread visiting the dentist! I finally have the smile I always wanted, and I am sooo pleased with the results!! I would recommend them to everyone.

Alison-Frances McKnight

I had my two front crowns taken out and replaced with implants and a further crown fitted by Faresh and have nothing but praise for the whole team. The Surgery is welcoming and peaceful and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Faresh is not only extremely skilled in the mechanical and surgical sides of dentistry, he also has an excellent chair-side manner and makes you relaxed and confident. The process was long and at times painful but the treatment and support was first rate and the result was worth it. I am a very satisfied and happily smiling customer!! Thank you Ascent Dental
