What Are Metal Reinforced Dentures?
Restore Your Smile. Reclaim Your Confidence.
At Dr. Futela’s Dental Center, we offer metal reinforced dentures—a highly durable solution designed for enhanced strength, stability, and longevity.
These dentures come with an internal cobalt-chromium metal framework that supports the denture base, making it significantly stronger than conventional acrylic dentures. The biocompatible metal ensures both comfort and durability, even under higher chewing pressures.
Why Consider Metal Reinforced Dentures?
🦷 The internal metal framework distributes chewing forces evenly, reducing strain on your gums and underlying bone.
🦷 Ideal for patients with high bite force, moderate to severe bone loss, or those needing long-term support.
🦷 These dentures provide a secure and stable fit, minimizing movement or discomfort during eating and speaking.
🦷 Metal reinforced dentures can also be used in implant-supported dentures for enhanced retention and performance.
🦷 When Should You Opt for Metal Reinforced Dentures?
At Dr. Futela’s Dental Center, metal reinforced dentures are often recommended for patients who:
🦷 Struggle with loose or unstable traditional dentures
🦷 Have experienced moderate to severe bone loss in the jaw
🦷 Possess a strong bite force that causes regular dentures to wear down or break
🦷 Require enhanced retention and durability for daily chewing and speaking activities
The internal metal framework in these dentures prevents tipping and torquing, offering a more secure and stable fit, especially when regular dentures fail to stay in place. If you’re seeking better comfort, strength, and longevity in your dentures, metal reinforced dentures could be the ideal solution.
Who Should Consider Metal Reinforced Dentures?
At Dr. Futela’s Dental Center, we recommend metal-reinforced dentures in the following situations to ensure optimal function, comfort, and durability:

Severe Bone Loss
If you’re experiencing considerable jawbone loss due to periodontal disease, age, or prolonged tooth loss, metal-reinforced dentures offer the additional structural support traditional dentures may lack.

High Bite Pressure
Patients with a strong or forceful bite often wear out standard dentures quickly. Reinforced dentures provide the strength and stability needed to withstand greater bite forces without damaging surrounding tissues.

Loose or Unstable Dentures
If your current dentures frequently shift, slip, or feel unstable while speaking or chewing, reinforced dentures can offer a significantly more secure fit.

Multiple Missing Teeth
When several teeth are missing, metal-reinforced dentures help distribute chewing forces more evenly across the jaw, protecting both the gums and underlying bone.
