Key benefits:
Cobalt chrome dentures are thinner, lighter and cover less of the palate, which makes them very comfortable
Cobalt chrome is widely considered the gold standard for partial removable dentures as it offers distinct clinical and comfort advantages. Because the metal framework is exceptionally strong, it can be made much thinner than acrylic, taking up far less space in your mouth.
Unlike full plastic dentures that cover the roof of your mouth, cobalt chrome partial dentures can often be designed to leave the palate uncovered, allowing you to taste your food better and naturally experience hot and cold temperatures. Also, the metal clasps and framework grip your remaining natural teeth securely, reducing any shifting, which can sometimes be experienced with acrylic alternatives. Cobalt chrome dentures are designed to distribute biting forces evenly across your remaining teeth and supporting gums, helping to protect your existing dental health over the long term.

We start your cobalt chrome denture treatment with an initial consultation in our welcoming practice, priced at £95. We carefully assess your teeth, discuss your relevant dental history and ask about your smile goals to make sure a cobalt chrome denture is the right choice for you.
We take highly accurate scans and measurements of your mouth using our cutting-edge technology. Our expert in-house clinician dental technician works alongside our prosthodontist to ensure your denture is designed and created to your exact specifications.
We invite you to the practice for a trial fitting before your denture is fully finished. This allows us to check the bite, appearance and comfort, and make any adjustments needed for the best possible result. When your final cobalt chrome denture is ready, we fit it securely into place and give you some tailored aftercare advice. We’re always here to provide ongoing support, maintenance and routine check-ups.

While the underlying framework is made of a strong, discreet metal alloy, the parts that show when you speak or smile, the gum-coloured base and the replacement teeth, are custom-made to blend in seamlessly with your natural appearance. We carefully position any retaining clasps so they remain as hidden as possible.
Cobalt chrome dentures are significantly stronger, thinner, and longer-lasting than standard acrylic dentures. While acrylic dentures are often used as an economical or temporary solution (or for full arches where all teeth are missing), cobalt chrome is the preferred choice for partial dentures due to its superior comfort, precision fit, and durability.
Because cobalt chrome dentures fit more snugly and securely than plastic alternatives, you can enjoy a wider variety of foods with greater confidence. As with any new denture, we recommend starting with softer foods when you first get them and gradually building up, while still avoiding extremely sticky or hard items that could put the denture under pressure.
With proper daily hygiene and regular dental check-ups, cobalt chrome frameworks can last for many years, and often outlast acrylic alternatives. While your natural teeth and gums may change over time (which might occasionally require minor adjustments or relining), the metal framework itself is exceptionally durable and resistant to breaking.
Most patients find cobalt chrome dentures easy to get used to because they are very slim and light and don’t cover the entire palate. They are ideal for patients with sensitive gag reflexes who can’t wear acrylic.
