Hi! Do the clasps damage the healthy teeth where they are attached? Can I chew and eat well with it? Is it definitely a good option today a metal partial denture? Thanks!

Hi Emilio, Metal partial dentures are the most popular partial denture we make. The rigid metal frame gives the denture more strength to help you chew compared to an acrylic denture. Some people complain the metal frame is a bit unsightly. There are some scenarios where people may be able to see you are wearing a denture. But, the trade of is improved performance. If you are more concerned with aesthetics then you may consider a flexible partial denture. You can find more information on our website about those. uticadentallab.com/tcs-flexible-partials/ No denture is quite the same as your natural teeth. But a metal partial is the closest you will come to your natural teeth without taking more expensive fixed options like dental implants into account. Any damage to teeth at the clasps is minimal.
