Common Questions

Cast Metal Partial Dentures — what patients ask

There may be small metal clasps visible at the edges of natural teeth supporting the partial. We work to position them where they're least visible during normal speech and smiling.

Cast cobalt-chrome is denser than acrylic but the framework is thin — most patients find it comfortable and barely noticeable after the adjustment period.

10–15 years with routine maintenance, typically. Some patients keep them substantially longer.

Most extended plans cover partials. The CDCP covers partials with pre-authorization. We submit a pre-determination at your consultation so you know the coverage before treatment.
