What are metal-free dentures?

Metal-free dentures are an alternative to traditional dentures made without metal clasps or other metal components. Instead, our metal-free dentures are made with acrylic or porcelain to provide a natural look to restore your smile.

At Holistic Dental Center of New Jersey, we offer dentures to fit each patient’s needs, including:

Partial Dentures

A partial denture is used when some natural teeth remain in the upper or lower jaw and fill the space left by missing teeth. They also keep adjacent teeth from shifting position. The partial dentures are held in place by natural teeth adjacent to the missing tooth space.

Complete Dentures

A complete denture is used when all-natural teeth in the upper and lower jaw are missing. They can be held in place by dental adhesive or dental implants. Implants offer the most stability for complete dentures. 

Implant-Supported Dentures

An implant-supported denture is a denture supported by dental implants rather than by the gums. Implant-supported dentures are more stable than removable dentures and can provide better functionality and a more natural look and feel. In addition, the metal-free zirconia implants used at Holistic Dental Center are strong and durable, providing long-term support for your metal-free denture.

Whether you only require a partial denture or a full denture, our team at Holistic Dental Center is here to help. Please schedule a consultation with our New Jersey metal-free denture dentist today!

Who would benefit most from non-metal dentures?

Dentures are most often worn by people who have some or no remaining natural teeth. Metal-free dentures are an excellent option for patients who are looking to replace missing teeth and restore function and esthetics. 

Without proper treatment, tooth loss can lead to:

• Changes in your appearance or shifting of teeth
• Difficulty chewing and speaking
• Risk of tooth decay and gum disease
• Lowered self-esteem

Dentures can help to improve your appearance and speech and make it easier for you to eat. They will also enhance your confidence and offer a healthy smile you will be proud to show off.

Benefits of Metal-Free Dentures

Unlike traditional dentures made with a metal framework and plastic teeth, metal-free dentures are made with a completely tooth-colored resin material. Here are some of the benefits of metal-free dentures: 

Biocompatible

Metal-free dentures are made with materials that are biocompatible and safe for the human body. This means there is less risk of irritation to gum tissue or allergic reactions to metal-free dentures. As a result, they promote healthier gums and good oral health. 

Natural-Looking

Our metal-free dentures offer a natural look to restore your smile. Our dentist will match the porcelain and acrylic used for your replacement teeth to a natural tooth color for a seamless look. In addition, your dentures will look more like your natural teeth since there are no metal wings, metal clasps, or other metal components.

Comfortable

Metal-free dentures are more comfortable than traditional metal dentures. The metal components of metal dentures can irritate the gums, and metal allergies can cause discomfort. Metal-free dentures will not cause these problems and offer a more comfortable fit without a metal frame.
