Metal-framed dentures
A metal-framed partial denture replaces missing teeth and is taken out for cleaning.
Before
Bring your current denture if you have one. Explain where it feels loose, rubs or affects eating or speech.
During
Ask what will be checked at this visit and whether fitting or adjustment will take more appointments.
After
Ask about cleaning, storage and who to contact if the denture rubs, slips or breaks.
FAQs
Will a chrome denture stay fixed in my mouth?
No. It is a removable denture. Your team shows you how to take it out and clean it.
What if it rubs or slips?
Contact the practice to check the fit and condition of the denture and supporting teeth. Your dentist may adjust or replace the denture, or discuss whether implant support is suitable.

How it is supported
The framework fits around your remaining teeth and may use clasps to hold it in place. Your dentist will assess whether those teeth and gums can support the design and discuss acrylic or other alternatives.
Looking after a denture
Your team will show you how to remove and clean it and how to care for any remaining teeth. If your denture rubs or becomes loose, contact the practice to check its fit.
