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
It's not uncommon for new partials to cause some irritation initially, however, in your case an adjustment is necessary according to krissai. You can use dental wax in the meantime (can buy it at your local pharmacy). As for the speech difficulty that u r experiencing, it will improve as u eventually get used to it 😄
❤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😊

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.
Hello, according to Kriss ai the Metal partial dentures are designed to fit securely and comfortably without damaging the enamel of our natural teeth. The metal clasps are typically made from biocompatible materials that are gentle on the teeth.

@@Johnconno Will it affect my other teeth with the metal clasps? 🙂 I got my scan done yesterday and are going to pull 3 of my lower front teeth when I get my partial denture. I don't know which one I'll get yet tho.
Hi Emilio, Generally speaking, no the hooks do not damage the teeth, although this is if they are made correctly and also asking as the hooks are not placed on weak teeth. Your dental prosthetist will be able to ensure everything is done as it should be. We have had patients who have had metal dentures for 50-60 years! And yes you can eat most foods with them. Overall they are great. Good luck with your journey 😊
@@thedenturecliniccanberra4968 I have read lots of comments about metal partials damaging the surrounding teeth. How do I make sure that doesn't happen, and what should my dentist be doing to make sure my surrounding teeth are good? 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?
Not all acrylic dentures are thick, I really think it depends on the lab that makes them. Also the acrylic style have some thickness to them because when you bite down it gives you a very solid surface.
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.
Hi Eric, There are several ways to go about this. One is an immediate denture , where you insert the denture immediately , same appointment as the extractions . These work very successfully if done correctly The other way is to have extractions then wait several months for gums to heal before receiving dentures . It’s ups to the dentist and the patient generally to decide which is best. As for the cost, dentures range wildly in cost all over the world , so I would be only guessing if I gave an answer on value there. I hope this helps and Goodluck on the journey. Be patient and positive and let the denture have a chance to settle in 🦷

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
Hi Sean, By far, metal dentures are more comfortable if made correctly and if there’s enough room in the bite to accomodate it. We make mostly metal dentures for this reason and patients generally 99% of the time will not go back to a plastic one. As for adding teeth to them. In most cases this can be done without any issues . It will require a weld generally so expect 2-4 day turn around time . Hope this helps
I have a metal partial bottom & I HATE IT! The metal clasp hurt my teeth whenever they are on it feels like it is squeezing it similar to a tooth that needs a root canal pain. I don't need a root canal, but it feels like that when I place them on. I now want one with plastic or for them to just take all my bottoms out for a full one. I have a full on top. I love no problems but bottom I can't wear because I HATE it how it looks & feels. Metal ones they can add teeth to it
@@pipedreams57 Interesting how dentists will all recommend antibiotics after procedures. I always decline antibiotics because they as well as pain medications actually impede healing.
