Metal partial dentures

Metal or cobalt chrome alloy dentures have superior physical properties and generally occupy less space in the mouth than acrylic dentures. They are stronger, have a greater resistance to fatigue and are less likely to break under normal conditions.

Acrylic partial dentures

Acrylic or plastic base dentures are a quicker solution for partial dentures. They can be used for almost all cases, but are weaker and can fracture more easily due to the forces of chewing; therefore they generally require a thicker and more bulky design.
