Chromes
Chrome dentures.
We offer a chrome denture service here at Colligan Dental Lab. Chrome dentures are usually partial dentures or single tooth dentures that have a metal framework that supports false teeth.
Depending on the shape of the denture, metal can be used to make both the clasps and the palate. In a chrome denture the clasps are commonly made from cobalt chrome. This means that the palate and the clasps can be cast together, adding to the strength and durability.
Cobalt chrome is a medically approved, light alloy metal. It is the strongest and most durable metal that can be used to make a denture that doesn't irritate the gums and mouth. However, they are not suitable for patients with metal allergies.
