Metal Base Dentures
in Solihull

Comfortable Teeth
Replacement

The denture is a prosthetic device made to replace missing teeth. They are also commonly known as false teeth. They are supported by the gums and any remaining teeth. If complete dentures are used when there are no teeth in the mouth, dental implant surgery may be required for stability. If there are some teeth left, dentures can be bonded or clasped onto them.

Dentures can be complete or partial. When people lose teeth, it is important both medically and aesthetically that they use a replacement. To avoid medical complications in the long run, such as shifting of teeth surrounding the extracted teeth and/or jawbone alterations, dentures must be worn after an extraction. Dentures are also used to improve chewing ability after the removal of a number of teeth.

Brilliant , professional, competent & thoroughly deserved of a Top rate review. I have had a denture implant which is so comfortable & looks just stunning. The care and precision taken by Dr Faresh Desai, his wonderful team & technicians has been outstanding. Now I am having crowns & a partial denture so am qualified to leave a 5 Star plus review. I cannot recommend highly enough.

Metal Base Dentures

A metal denture is made with substantial metal casting instead of plastic. The various types of dentures are standard and modified metal based dentures. Standard metal dentures are the ones in which a portion of the denture is in direct contact with the soft tissues of the gums. This denture is made of a medically compatible metal alloy. Such metals are non-allergic.

The modified denture base is made of metal but does not have a metal material in direct contact with the gum tissues, as it is preferred not to have metal in direct contact with the gums. Therefore, an important modification in standard form has been done by interposing a plastic liner between the supporting tissue and the metal body of the denture. Soft and hard plastic can be used. However, soft is the preferred option. The only drawback with that is it has to be redone annually.

When to Use
Metal Dentures

Sometimes there is a requirement to make a narrow denture. The narrow dentures are weak if they are made from plastic and they tend to break very easily. In such situations metal dentures provide the best solution. The metal base provides the required strength. It is more suited for the lower jaw. With the loss of teeth the jaw tends to lose weight. A heavy denture is stable and is also comfortable for the patient.

Excellent customer service, the team really looked after me, answered all my questions, explained what was going on in my appointment.

Highly recommend Ascent to anyone, particularly, if like me, you get nervous about a visit to the dentist!!

I first had dental treatment (implant & veneer) with Faresh in May 2013. It was a years worth of treatment and the end result was so natural looking. As my bottom teeth weren’t the straightest, I decided to have a brace fitted with Gursh. After just over 17 weeks, I had my brace removed yesterday (25/8/14) and for me, it was a Hollywood reveal. My TEETH ARE AMAZING!!!

I had a great experience with Yasmin being my Dentist at Ascent. She reassured me every step of the way throughout my journey. I had my teeth whitened, a new crown fitted and some composite bonding. I was so happy with the final result. Thankyou! 🤍 …

I have always been self-conscious about my smile and choosing Ascent Dental Care in Solihull was the best decision I’ve made. I’m currently undergoing a smile makeover treatment. I want to say a huge thank you to Devan for my fabulous gum lift procedure! Thank you to Yasmin and Jespal for putting a plan in place so I can FINALLY get my perfect smile. The whole team are very professional and supportive. I honestly can’t fault them.

I don’t normally leave reviews but I would 100% recommend Ascent Dental Care. I can’t wait to see the final results because I know I’m in good hands :)

Thank you so much!!!

I have just finished treatment at Ascent Dental Care and can only thank the team for their care and professionalism. I am a very nervous patient so opted for sedation and was glad I did as I now have a less traumatic memory of having a deep clean and treatment for 2 crowns. Thank you to the team and would recommend this surgery to anyone who is nervous and putting off having treatment. Lorraine

I have been using Ascent Dental for the 3 years, during that time I have had a range of treatments including fillings, an extraction under sedation, Damon braces, teeth whitening and contouring. I was a very nervous patient, but the team have been supportive and understanding and for the first time in my life I don’t dread visiting the dentist! I finally have the smile I always wanted, and I am sooo pleased with the results!! I would recommend them to everyone.
